Cannot ping the device
through Ethernet hub

Isolate the DeviceMaster UP from the network.
Connect the device directly to the NIC in the host
system (see Page 75).

Cannot ping or connect
to the DeviceMaster UP

The default IP address is often not accessible due to the
subnet masking from another network unless 192.168 is
used in the network.

In most cases, it will be necessary to program in an
address that conforms to your network.

DeviceMaster UP
continuously reboots
when connected to some
Ethernet switches or
routers

Invalid IP information may also cause the switch or
router to check for a gateway address. Lack of a
gateway address is a common cause.
