I received a siglent DMM today, after installing I noticed I got the IP address from a siglent signal generator.
Turns out these devices both have the same mac address, so my router hands out the same ip to them.
I tried searching if I can change it but so far no luck, I can give on a fixed ip, but I strongly prefer to have it centrally managed.
Does anybody know if siglent has a (hidden) command to change the mac address?
(DMM is the SDM3065X)

:palm: for Siglent! Yes you can assign it a fixed IP but if both the DMM and the signal generator are powered your switch will get very confused, they normally maintain a table which MAC address is on what port. I highly doubt that you can change it yourself and personally I would send it back to have it swapped, hoping that you don't receive one with the same problem.

Siglent quality.

Nahh... they probably sold more than 4B devices and now are reusing... :-DD

A fixed IP won't work because the MAC address is what is used to direct traffic on a local network. Your only option is to return the DMM for a replacement. Make clear to the supplier that this particular DMM can not be used on your network and that you will need a different one.

Yeah, but what are the odds that a different meter doesn't have the same mac-adress? :popcorn:

Same here (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sdm3055-dhcp-mac-address-problem/msg3210170/#msg3210170).
Maybe it's possible to change it with the SCPI command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:MAC
I don't remember anyone trying...

Offically any piece of equipment with an ethernet interface should have the MAC address printed on the outside (on a sticker). So it should be easy to check by the supplier. Ofcourse there is always the possibility the manufacturing process at Siglent is somehow broken and all units are shipped with a factory default address. Easy to find it if the actual MAC address differs from what is printed on the sticker.
