Matrix: Why does the IVC-32 card use two different IP addresses (internal / external)

Question:  Why does the Eclipse IVC-32 card require the external IP address?
Answer:  Because the IP address of the IVC-32 card is given to the panel after the login process.
When setting up an IP panel you need to tell the IP panel the Login-IP address (this must be the IVC-32 card IP address that is fitted in the matrix)
When the IP panel logs in, its login details (User ID / password) are passed to the CPU card. The CPU then sends back to the IP panel the correct IP address of the IVC-32 card to use for communication. So in a matrix with multiple IVC-32 cards the login IP address can be the same for all the panels. 
If a panel is outside the local LAN network, on the internet for instance, it will need to know the external IP address to connect.
