Can't Connect via the LAN
P
:
Can't connect to the EtherPoll using Telnet or Web
Browser.
S:
Check the following:
•
Start troubleshooting from a known state. Power the
EtherPoll OFF and ON to reboot.
•
“Ping” the EtherPoll to see if it responds. From the
Windows command prompt or “Run” dialog box, use
the command:
ping IP_Address
Where
IP_Address
is the IP Address of the
Ether
Poll
(e.g.
ping 192.168.1.1
). If it does
not respond, then check all LAN connections. If the
LAN connection are OK, the problem is in the LAN
addresses or routing. You should be able to ping all
EtherPolls.
The most common problem cause is
incorrect IP addressing. Make sure the
workstation and EtherPolls have compatible IP
addresses.
•
If using a LAN without routers, you can connect to the
EtherPoll ONLY IF your PC and the Ether
Poll
are
using IP Addresses from the same address block. The
EtherPolls default IP Address (192.168.1.1) requires
that your PC is using an address from the address
block 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, and a
Network
Mask
of 255.255.255.0. If a router is between the
devices, a gateway address must be configured in both
devices.
Check your PC's IP Address using
