Note the Cleverscope DHCP column changes from
Yes, in progress
to
No, using static IP
as in the picture above.
Once you see that the address of the Cleverscope has changed to what you programmed it to, we suggest you
power it down, and then up again – just to verify that the address and static IP usage are correct. Remember
that the subnet (the first three numbers of the IP address) must be the same for the Cleverscope and the NIC
address found (which is the PCs address).
Click OK, and then click Auto on the Cleverscope Control Panel to acquire a signal.
Now you must make sure that the first three digits of the IP address match the first 3 digits of the PC NIC
(Network Interface Card) addresses found, which in the example above is 192.168.1.2. The last digit must be
different. This is known as being on the same subnet. If the first three digits don't match, the Cleverscope
cannot communicate. Make sure the subnet (the 192.168.1 part) are the same and the unit ID's (190 and 2) are
different.
23.2.1 What if things don't work?
Here are some issues we've had in the past that may help in getting things going:
1. You cannot set the Cleverscope IP address.
This might happen if you have IPv6 enabled and the Cleverscope is set for DHCP. Temporarily turn off IPv6,
set the Cleverscope IP address, and then turn IPv6 back on again. In Win 7 Start/Control Panel/ Network
and Sharing Centre/Change Adapter Settings/Local Area Connection/Properties and unclick Internet
Protocol Version 6, then ok.
In Windows 8, Search for Control Panel, go to the
Control Panel
, choose
Network and Sharing Centre,
then
Change Adaptor Settings,
then double click on
Ethernet.
2. Sometimes if you have a WiFi adaptor, it can take precedence over the wired Ethernet adaptor. Disable it
while making the connection, and then re-enable.
