General Troubleshooting
This table illustrates some general troubleshooting tips.
Note:
Make sure that you have reviewed the
General Condition
Explanation/Action
PWR
or
Status
LED
flashing
Indicates that the bootloader has not downloaded to the DeviceMaster.
1.
If applicable, remove the NS-Link driver.
2.
Make sure that you have downloaded the most current driver:
downloads.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/drivers/
3.
Install the latest driver and configure the DeviceMaster using the MAC
address. Make sure that you reboot the system. See
Note:
If the
PWR
or
Status
LED is still flashing, contact Technical Support.
PWR
or
Status
LED not lit
Indicates that power has not been applied or there is a hardware failure.
Contact Technical Support.
Can ping the Comtrol
device, but cannot open the
ports from a remote
location.
(You must have previously
programmed the IP
address, subnet mask, and
IP gateway.)
The NS-Link driver uses Port 4606 (
11FE
h) to communicate with the
DeviceMaster.
When using a
sniffer
to track NS-Link packets, filtering for Port 4606 will
easily track the packet. The packet should also contain the MAC address of
the device and the originating PC so that it can be determined if the packet is
able to travel the full distance one way or not.
If the 4606 packet is found on one side of a firewall or router, using sniffer, and
not on the other side, then that port needs to be opened up to allow the 4606 to
pass.
This will most often be seen with firewalls, but is also seen in some routers.
Cannot ping the device
through Ethernet hub
Isolate the DeviceMaster from the network. Connect the device directly to the
NIC in the host system.
Cannot ping or connect to
the DeviceMaster
The default DeviceMaster IP address is often not accessible due to the subnet
masking from another network unless
192.168
is used in the network.
In most cases, it will be necessary to program in an address that conforms to
your network. See
Configuring the Network Settings
on Page 38 to use
PortVision DX to program the IP address.
If you do not use PortVision DX (or the NS-Link driver for Windows) to
program the IP address, you can use RedBoot.
If you use RedBoot, you only have 15 seconds to disable the Bootloader with
RedBoot to get into the setup utility. See
the RedBoot method of programming an IP address.
