your firewall to allow the System Architect software and/or port 3804 tcp and udp to pass through the firewall.
Ethernet Link
Make sure that you have a valid Ethernet connection by looking at the link status lights. Most Ethernet devices will have some kind of indicator that shows the link is present. Check the following connections:
•PCM96 Surround device – If there is a valid connection on the PCM96 Surround you will see a solid green LED.
•PC running the System Architect software
•Hub / Switch (if used)
If you fail to see a link light try removing and reinserting the cable or trying a different, known good, cable. Also, make sure that you are using the cor- rect cable.
Ping
There is a simple utility built into
1.In the Applications folder, double click the Terminal icon.
2.At the prompt enter ping
PING <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62 time=1.118 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=1.093 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=1.067ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62 time=1.042ms
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
If you get a “Reply from” response from the IP address that you were ping- ing in a timely manner, it means that you have a valid network connection between the two devices.
If you receive a “No route to host” or “0 packets received” message, this indi- cates that your computer is not communicating with the device.
