Problem 

Troubleshooting Suggestion 

Configuration Manager Program 

You forgot/lost your 
Configuration 
Manager user ID or 
password. 

If you have not changed the password from the default, try using 
“admin” as both the user ID and password. Otherwise, you can 
reset the device to the default configuration by pressing the 
Reset button on the rear panel of AAM6030VI three times. 

WARNING:

 Resetting the device removes any custom settings 

and returns all settings to their default values. 

Cannot access the 
Configuration 
Manager program 
from your 

browser

Use the ping utility, discussed in the following section, to check 
whether your PC can communicate with the SL-6000 / SL-
6300’s LAN IP address (by default 192.168.1.1). If it cannot, 
check the Ethernet cabling. 

Verify that you are using Internet Explorer v5.5 or later. 
Netscape is not supported. Support for Javascript® must be 
enabled in your browser. Support for Java® may also be 
required. 

Verify that the PC’s IP address is defined as being on the same 
subnet as the IP address assigned to the LAN port on the SL-
6000 / SL-6300. 

Changes to 

Configuration 

Manager are not 
being retained. 

Be sure to click on 

 button to save any changes. 

B.1 

Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities 

B.1.1 ping 

Ping

 is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other computers on your 

network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to the computer you specify. If the computer 
receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the 
computer with which you are trying to communicate.  

On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start menu. Click the Start 
button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type a statement such as the following: 

ping 192.168.1.1 

Click 

. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP address for an 

Internet site, if known.  

If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt window displays like that shown in 
Figure B.1.
