Initial Operation INSYS ETHERNET 5.X

Nov-06

 Check the connection cable. For notebooks with USB/RS232 adapters there

may be problems with the configuration. In this case, use a PC with a direct

RS232 interface.

 Check the interface settings (port, 19200, 8N1) of your terminal program.

 Check if the COM interface is already being used by another program. In this

case, close the program or restart the computer, if necessary.

 Trigger a factory reset by pushing the reset key (100..500 ms). Repeat the con-

figuration.

If you experience problems, please contact your support department (see Chapter 1).

4.5 Ethernet Connection Test

After a successful initial configuration you can easily determine if your INSYS Ethernet is

accessible in the network.

Open the prompt of a PC (DOS box). The PC must be in the same local network.

Execute the following command: ping x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x = configured IP address)

When the ping is responded to (see figure), a connection with the network has been es-

tablished.

Troubleshooting

If the ping command delivers no responses, the following items must be checked:

Wiring:

 Are all cables plugged in?

 Is the OH LED at the INSYS Ethernet flashing?

 Are the network LEDs at the PC and the hub/switch flashing?

 Were the correct cables used?

(twisted CAT5 cable for a direct connection between a PC and the INSYS

Ethernet without hub/switch)
