Secondary Ethernet Configuration on the Dual NIC CKB416

The CKB416 Hardware version includes a second Ethernet Port that can be configured independently, allowing for connection to the Isolated LAN of a camera or device network. 

Warning
This function is not supported by previous hardware versions

Configure the Secondary Ethernet Adapter to your target subnet range:


Notes
The IP camera I plan to connect to this bridge has an IP address of 192.168.0.90. I have simply selected an IP address on that .0 range that I know is open, and won't cause any IP conflicts on that Local Area Network
Apply changes:



When Adding the camera, be sure to select the CKB416 you have just configured:


When you choose the mounting channel and the scan initiates, you will see the results from both Local Network Adapters: 
Notes
Note the Main Ethernet Adapter is on the 192.168.1.X subnet, and my Secondary Ethernet Adapter is on the 192.168.0.X subnet, so the Bridge will see the results from both

The IP cameras on both networks should mount following the standard  https://support.chekt.com/portal/en/kb/articles/connecting-cameras-to-a-chekt-bridge guide.
