Troubleshooting
Reboot the iCOMPEL and the PC.
During iCOMPEL boot sequence look for an OK
message (in green) for the eth0 parameter.
If you see a [Fail] message (in red) for the eth0 parameter this
usually means that the iCOMPEL has found nothing to connect
with at the other end of the cable.
During iCOMPEL boot sequence look for the IP
address on the screen.
A No Cable message means that the cable is missing or faulty
or that there is another device on the network with the same IP
address. The address 169.254.1.1 either means that DHCP could
not be found or you are using a crossover cable.
The iCOMPEL must have completed its boot
sequence.
The screen connected to the iCOMPEL should be showing the
default Layout and content.
The yellow LEDs on all applicable network sockets
should be on or flashing.
Check the yellow light (if present) on the socket that the network
cable plugs into on your PC, on the iCOMPEL and any hubs or
routers in the path from the PC to the iCOMPEL (if applicable).
You should know the IP address of your PC.
To find the IP address of a Windows PC, click on Start>Run,
type cmd and click OK, type ipconfig and press Enter. Your PC
displays its IP address.
Make sure that the IP addresses of the iCOMPEL and
PC are in the same sub-net.
You may need to consult your Network Administrator for further
advice.
You should try to ping the iCOMPEL from the PC.
(Some networks do not allow pings.)
On a Windows PC click on Start>Run, type cmd and click OK,
type ping followed by a space and then the IP address of the
iCOMPEL and press enter. After a few seconds you should see a
message that includes the phrase (0% loss). The yellow LED on
the network socket of the iCOMPEL should flash during the ping.
You should be able to access the iCOMPEL with your
web browser.
In your web-browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) type the IP address of
the iCOMPEL into the address bar and press Enter. When
prompted enter the username and password for the iCOMPEL.
The home page of the iCOMPEL should appear in the browser.
Make sure your web browser is not showing a cached
version of the iCOMPEL's web page.
In Internet Explorer, select File>Work offline> and clear the
check box, and also select Tools>Internet Options> and clear
the history, then press F5.
If you are using a crossover cable then you should not
be prompted to dial up to the Internet.
If you are using Internet Explorer and you cannot prevent the PC
from dialing out for an Internet connection then install the Firefox
browser on your PC and use it to access the iCOMPEL.
