Most common problems while configuration and updating
This list contains typical errors that can occur when dealing with firmware updates:
Dip-switches / slide switch in wrong position
As a result, the CS141 uses either at the configuration mode IP address or an IP address assigned via DHCP. In this case you
can no longer reach the CS141. Since the configuration mode on the hardware side has the 10.10.10.10 as a pre-set, it may
also cause a network error, since this IP address will be used by any CS141 as a default.
Forgot manual IP address assignment or IP address set to factory default
The CS141 boots up and tries to get an IP address. If this is not possible, it starts with the default IP 10.10.10.10.
Forgotten Reboot
Since the CS141 offers the possibility to change the sliding switch on the fly and to carries out the function via software reboot,
an update can evidently trigger the change of the IP address and the CS141 is no longer accessible.
The reason for this is that the CS141 starts regularly with 10.10.10.10 and points the route to it on the local PC:
if you boot the CS141 the first time, set the sliding switch to manual mode, enter IP address data and then perform an update,
only the IP settings you entered will be used. As a consequence, it seems CS141 cannot be accessed at the hardcoded IP
address 10.10.10.10.
Web Browser caching caused issues
Modern web browsers use technologies designed to speed up content viewing and improving multimedia experiences:
- Speech recognition
- Auto-complete names and address data
- Automatic login into websites
- Personalized commercials
- Pre-caching files from websites
- Holding website files for faster revisit
- and m
any more …
These media files are loaded into a separate browser cache to ensure the fastest and most comfortable possible web
experience. The CS141 uses build-in web-based technology. If you use more than one CS141, web browsers sometimes show
pre-cashed data:
Mixing identical content from different devices can cause strange or illogical error messages.
Note:
This is caused by web browsers' behaviour. In this case, the browser cache must be deleted.
Force https is active
Depending on patch level and web browser used for displaying web-based content, some web browsers tend to detect this
condition and automatically add the https. However, others ignore the wrong http query and return a device is not available
message or react in a very strange way:
https was sometimes automatically enabled, but the https-query will be redirected to another device. In this case, browser
logged your surf behaviour and assumed that you meant another device that is known to use https. As a result, you enter the IP
address http://192.168.3.15 and https://192.168.3.56 will be shown. At https://192.168.3.15, however, it would have been the
correct CS141 been displayed.
Again, the behaviour of the web browser is involved to cause some confusion. Deleting the browser cache will fix it.
