SerialGate User Guide

The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses. Verify that the IP

address is correctly loaded into SerialGate (via the displayed or printed configuration

information or through the remote console), and make sure that no other nodes on the

network have this address (duplicate addresses are the biggest cause of TCP/IP connectivity

problems). If the IP address is not correct, then check whether the loading procedure was

properly executed.

Also verify that the host computer and SerialGate are using the same subnet masks (for

example, if SerialGate has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the host must have the same

subnet mask) or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.

If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for DHCP server, and make sure that

the server is not set up to load wrong IP addresses into SerialGate.

Troubleshooting Windows Problems

If you are having trouble accessing the connected serial device through Windows, ensure

you can ping SerialGate using the command PING x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of

SerialGate. If you cannot ping SerialGate, you will not be able to access the serial device.
