Meet the Sirona Orthophos XG. I sure hope the TCP/IP programming in this machine is not indicative of its xRay reliability.
So I’m replacing some Sonicwall’s for Cisco ASA’s and re-addressing the LAN for a doctor’s office. And we have to change the IP on the xRay machine…
So the default procedure is to go to a PC with software that communicates with the machine and change it from there. I plug in a private class A address with a /24 subnet mask and the software pops an error and says I have a network mask mismatch because it’s not a /8 :-|
In other words, the software is abiding by pre-RFC1519 rules from 1993 and doesn’t recognize Variable Length Subnet Mask!!!
So then I go to the xRay machine console. Uh… Houston… we have a problem with this here machine…
