LCD Concepts MES-6P-F User Manual - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
•
Does the MES-6P-F switch have an uplink port?
An uplink port is not necessary. The MES-6P-F has Auto-MDI ports which automatically
sense the type of cable being used, i.e. a straight-through or a crossover cable.
•
What is the maximum length of Ethernet cable that can be used between the
MES-6P-F and other devices such as the NavNet, router, computer or
another switch?
The maximum length between a computer, the NavNet or other Ethernet device on
a network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit.
Usually the distance should be kept well below this limit.
•
How do I know what the IP address is?
After the MES-6P-F has been installed and connected to a computer, by default,
the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address.
To verify the IP address follow the steps below:
1. From your Windows main screen, click on
Start > Run
.
2. In the
Run
box type
cmd
and click
OK
.
3. At the prompt, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter
.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway of your switch.
4. Write the IP address down for troubleshooting purposes.
