Troubleshooting the RUGGEDCOM APE1808

The following describes potential solutions for common problems.
Lost IP Address
The simplest resolution to this problem occurs when the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is
easily reached and a monitor is attached. The RUGGEDCOM APE1808 can be queried
for the IP address and the configuration of the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 or command
module may be changed to allow networking.
If the RX15xx device is remotely situated, it may be possible to use the TCPDUMP
command to trace IP traffic from the RUGGEDCOM APE1808. If the RUGGEDCOM
APE1808 is networked successfully then one of the captured packets will almost
certainly reveal the source IP address. A badly networked RUGGEDCOM APE1808,
attached to an incorrect subnet, may still reveal an IP address.

Save and close the file.
