ETWORK ROUBLESHOOTING
If an error occurs when trying to discover the EX10xxA (see Web Page Operation in Section 4 for
more information on discovery), it may be necessary to change the network settings for the
EX10xxA and the host PC. By using the following methodology, most network-related issues can
be resolved:

1) Restore the EX10xxA's Default Network Settings

2) Determine PCs Network Settings

3) Set the EX10xxA to Auto IP or Set the EX10xxA to Static IP
4) Restore the Host PCs Network Settings
5) Using Multiple Network Cards
Restore the EX10xxA's Default Network Settings
It may be the case that the EX10xxA is in an unknown network configuration. The EX10xxA can
be returned to its default state by pressing the Reset button located at the rear of the chassis.
1) Power off the EX10xxA.
2) Press and hold the reset button.
3) Power on the EX10xxA.
4) Continue to hold the reset button for at least 30 seconds.
5) Release the reset button.
Determine PCs Network Settings
1) Ensure that all host PC Ethernet connections are made that will be used while controlling the
EX10xxA. If the PC will be connected to a LAN, ensure that the LAN connection is made.
2) From Windows , navigate to Start→Settings→Network Connections.
3) Right click on the connection that will be used to communicate with the EX10xxA, then
select Properties (see Figure 2-4). Some PCs have multiple network connections, so it is
important to make certain that the connection used to communicate with the EX10xxA is
selected.
