AppendixA. TroubleshootingTips
AppendixA.1. ConnectingAPCtotheMCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY
 Confirmthatthenetworkcablingiscorrect
 Confirmthatthecomputernetworkcardisoperationalandcorrectlyconfigured
 Confirm that there is an Ethernet adapter installed in the PC’s Device Manager List, and that it is
configuredtoruntheTCP/IPprotocol
 CheckthattheIPnetmask
ofthePCmatchestheMCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY.TheDefaultIPAddressoftheMCS‐
BMS‐GATEWAYis192.168.10.85,SubnetMaskis255.255.255.0,DefaultGatewayis192.168.10.1.
 GotoStart>Run
 Typein“ipconfig”
 Theaccountsettingsshouldbedisplayed
 Ensure that the IP address
is 192.168.10.xxx, the Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the Default
Gatewayis192.168.10.1
 EnsurethatthePCandMCS‐BMS‐GATEWAYareonthesameIPNetwork,orassignaStaticIPAddressto
thePConthe192.168.10.network
 IfUsingWindowsXP,ensurethatthefirewallis
disabled
 EnsurethatallotherEthernetcardsactiveonthePC,especiallywirelessadaptersaredisabled

AppendixA.2. NocommunicationbetweentheMCS‐MagnumandtheMCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY
 Confirmthatthenetworkcablingiscorrect
 Check that the IP address, subnetmask, and the default gateway of the MCS‐Magnum match what the
labelontheMCS‐BMS‐GATEWAYsaysitshouldbesetto.
 Check the LED’s on the Ethernet port. The yellow LED should be
