New Features

SNIB2 IP Address Default Added
You can now set a default IP address with SNIB2 version 5.99. When you set the IP address of a SNIB2 through Velocity’s Port Properties, this IP address becomes the default. This feature allows you to pre-program a new controller or SNIB2 then deploy the new components to a remote site, conserving the network settings you created. Updating your current SNIB2 firmware to version 5.99 will allow you to take advantage of this new feature. (SNIBII-2)  

Bug Fixes

MAC Address Error Resolved
Version 5.99 fixes a network broadcast error. In the previous version of the SNIB2 firmware, MAC hexadecimal addresses that had a value ranging from 00 to 09 could report as IP address 0.0.0.0. This issue has now been fixed. (SNIBII-7)
