Well, I've finished renumbering our whole net a few weeks ago (but on =
several PM3's, not PM2's), and I've got no troubles at all with this. =
I'd the curiousest situations, but the PM's handled them all.=20

The only 'magic' is to add a secondary Ethernet-IP-Address (from the new =
or old IP's) to the device and that should be sufficient. ComOS is well =
equipped to handle different nets and even different netmasks on the =
same physical net.

If you can find out if a secondary IP on the ethernet is also possible =
and how to configure it on the PM2's, you're on a winning line :-)...
