I have a legacy system using two 1601 controllers operated by a Windows 2000 system
We have been forced to remove the Win 2000 system from the company network for security reasons. Prior to removal the Win 2000 system found and operated both 1601s without problem,....for the past nearly 20 years
So we have connected the two 1601s to a switch which is connected to the Win2000 system. Nothing else is now on this subnet.
When we power up, MAX can only find one of the 1601s and that system appears to work as before. He always finds the same on.However, it won't find the other 1601 system
if i plug the unfound system directly into the Win2000 computer (bypassing the switch altogethor, now only the Win2000 computer and the unfound 1601 are on the subnet) MAX finds the "unfound" 1601 and it appears to work fine.
Any suggestions on why when connected through the switch MAX can only find one system?
thanks.
