Error IP Address lost
During start-up the expansion box beeps several times. The last beep
sequence indicates whether the default IP address (192.100.100.98)
stored in the Flash Disk is active (three short beeps) or if the IP address
has been changed by the user (one long beep).
The host and the expansion box cannot be connected via Ethernet if
the IP address of the expansion box is unknown.
➤ To find out the client’s IP address, connect a VGA monitor to the
slot CPU. The IP address is displayed during power-up. Use this
address to connect to the expansion box again.
Error Wrong IP address
The IP addresses of expansion box and network, or expansion box and
host PC (for peer-to-peer connection) must adhere to the following
rules:
■ The network part of the IP address must be identical on both
systems. Only the workstation part may differ. For details, refer to a
definition of IP address classes.
■ The IP address of each node must be unique within the network.
■ The IP address must not be one of the reserved loopback addresses
127.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1. Additional restrictions may apply.
Error Wrong subnet mask
The expansion box does not support subnetting. The subnet mask is
always adjusted automatically according to the selected IP address
class when changing the IP address using the setip utility. Zero subnet
bits are set.
Error Wrong cable
The supplied crossed-over patch cable can only be used for a
peer-to-peer connection via Ethernet. It cannot be used to connect the
expansion box to an existing network.
➤ Use a normal (non crossed-over) cable to integrate the expansion
box into an existing network.
