Other Problems
P
:
Can’t run the initial configuration program using a serial cable connection.
S:
Check that:
The communication parameters are set properly on the terminal device.
Power is available... an LED is on.
The terminal program is operating properly. Try a loopback connector at the PR-6606 end of the
cable to verify program operation and the proper COM: port.
The most common problems causing this symptom are incorrect RS-232 wiring or the Windows
Hyperterm program not operating correctly.

How to set the hardware back to factory defaults?
S:
If you know the IP address, you may browse to the Administration screen – Set All Defaults. If the IP
address is unknown, use the serial connection setup method (Chapter 2), and answer Yes then asked if you
wish to reset the unit to factory defaults. The factory default IP address for the ethernet port (Port A) is
192.168.0.1 .
If you need to reset the unit to defaults temporarily, this can be done using the mode switch on the front of
the unit. The mode switch is located behind the small hole in the front of the unit.
The process is to apply power to the unit.
Watch for all 3 LEDs on the front of the unit to illuminate and then for LEDs 2 and 3 to turn off.
After LEDs 2 and 3 turn off, press and hold the mode switch until LED 2 is flashed (about 10 to 15
seconds later). You may then release the switch. The unit will be running on default values.
The default values are not automatically stored using this method.
Note: The mode switch is covered by the front label on some units. An sharp ice pick and x-ray vision
may be required for this procedure on some units. The hole is just under the "e" and "i" in the word "series"
on the front panel label. Carefully make a hole in the label to use a small wire (paperclips work well) to
press the button.
