Data connections

1. Check the cabling connections and make adjustments as needed. The Link LEDs on the IPL T control interface and the computer should be solid green if a network connection is detected. If these LEDs are not lit, either the cable is faulty or not plugged in, or the wrong type of cable is being used (refer to “Connecting the Hardware”, in chapter 3).

2.Try to “ping” the unit by typing “ping 192.168.254.254” at the DOS command prompt, or use the Web address provided to you by your system administrator. If you get no response:

a.Make sure your unit is using the appropriate subnet mask (check with your system administrator).

b.Make sure your PC does not have a software firewall program which might block the IP address of the unit.

3.If contact is established with the unit, but the unit’s Web pages cannot be accessed by your Web browser, verify (in the Options or Preferences menu) that your Web browser is configured for direct network connection and not set up to use a proxy server.

If you are still experiencing problems, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Configuration

If, when configuring a unit, the MAC address on the rear panel is not visibly accessible and the IP address is not known, use the direct PC connection method (see chapter 3, “Connection and Configuration”).

NIf the unit is not new (i.e., out of the box), please refer to Resetting the unit in chapter two for instructions on how to reset the IP back to factory default.
