NOTE: If the ProtoNode’s information does not show (even after repeated attempts), either the
network cabling is incorrect, the IP settings are not correct or the computer network card is faulty.
Here are some troubleshooting tips:
•
Check the Ethernet RJ45 port of the ProtoNode that the Activity LED is blinking (Amber or
Green LED).
•
Ensure that the PC and ProtoNode are on the same IP Network, or assign a Static IP Address
to the PC on the 192.168.1.0 IP network.
•
Confirm that there is an Ethernet adapter installed in the PC’s Device Manager List, and that
it is configured to run the TCP/IP protocol.
•
If using Windows XP, ensure that the firewall is disabled.
•
If still having problems, see Reference Manual “Troubleshooting Tips”
Step 4: Connection to the ProtoNode Using RUI (Remote User Interface)
1.
Open the Remote User Interface application by clicking Start|Programs|FieldServer
Utilities|Remote User Interface.
2.
Select “yes” to synchronize the ProtoNode’s time and date with the computer.
3.
Remote User Interface application should now detect the ProtoNode (Note: it can take up
to 3 minutes to detect the ProtoNode). Select the ProtoNode by pressing ‘”1” then hit the
“Enter” (See Figure 3) key to bring up the main menu (See Figure 4).
