2.6 Network Configuration
In most cases, the local network supports DHCP,
enabling automatic network configuration. After booting
the device, the status LED flashes yellow. Once it has
received valid settings, the LED will flash green every
ten seconds. Once this is the case, you can skip the
following sections and continue with chapter
The LED flashes yellow if a network error occurs. In this
case, make sure that all wires are connected correctly.
The two LEDs located on the LAN interface can also be
used for diagnostic purposes. The yellow LED lights up
once a 100 Mbit connection has been established and
the green LED flashes to indicate network activity. If
both LEDs remain dark, the Ethernet cable may be
connected incorrectly or defective.
Should the problems persist, please contact your
network administrator or connect the device directly to
the computer you intend to use for its configuration and
continue with the following chapter.
2.6.1 Zeroconf
Instead of connecting Querx to the local network, it can
also be connected to a computer directly, via an
Ethernet cable. Most operating systems support
Zeroconf, facilitating such a direct connection.
After booting, the status LED will flash yellow
continuously, while Querx is searching for a network
that supports DHCP. Should it not succeed, Querx is
automatically configured with the IP address
169.254.111.1. This behavior is not ideal, but it suffices
for an initial setup.
The status LED should now flash green every ten
seconds. If this is the case, you can now continue with
chapter 2.6.2. Otherwise, please check the Ethernet
connection, as detailed in the previous section. If this
does not solve the issue, resetting the factory settings,
