If you are having difficulties connecting to your iCOMPEL, check the steps in the following table:
Task
Comment
There must be network cables connecting the
iCOMPEL to your PC.
Use either a network cable connecting your PC to your LAN and
one connecting the iCOMPEL to the LAN, or a crossover cable
connecting your PC directly to the iCOMPEL. Make absolutely
sure that you are using a crossover cable.
If you are using a laptop connect it to mains power.
If your laptop is running on battery power, and the battery is low,
the networking circuits may have been shut down. You may need
to reboot your laptop and the iCOMPEL.
If you are using a crossover cable, you should turn off
any wireless networking.
Your laptop may have a switch to turn wireless networking on and
off. Otherwise, look for an icon on your desktop, or in your Control
Panel (for Windows PCs).
If you are using a crossover cable, your PC must not
be configured to work through a proxy.
In Internet Explorer, select Tools>Internet
Options>Connections> LAN Settings and clear the checkbox
for the Use a proxy server... option. In Firefox, select
Tools>Options..>Connection Settings and select the checkbox
for the Direct connection to the Internet option.
