Apex Classic - Aquabus Module Assignment

[hilde123]

I have an apex classic that seems to have a failed Ethernet port but is otherwise working fine. I have another base unit and a recent backup file. I only have two EB8, one display, and one expansion module so aquabus assignments are pretty simple. I understand the process is generally: (1) Get new base unit connected to network, upgrade firmware; (2) Add aquabus mobules one-by-one to get correct assignment numbers; and (3) restore backup file. Please confirm this is correct. Also, can you confirm that if my attempt to migrate to new base unit fails that reconnecting EB8s and expansion to old base unit will still retain same aquabus numbers and I can get system back up and running? I know the base unit and modules hand shake but I’m assuming that they aren’t locked to a new base unit and will still get same aquabus numbers on old unit if it’s based on serial number of base unit and modules.
