Ethernet routing table
The Ethernet routing table is a list that associates the KMC network addresses
assigned to Tier 1 controllers with the IP addresses required by the LAN protocol.
If the controller is not configured correctly, it will not communicate with other
controllers and may cause problems with the rest of the network. Before starting
the HCM initializing process you will need information about the controller and
the LAN which is listed in Table 4-2.
Note
Ethernet settings do not take effect in a controller until the power is cycled.
Ethernet troubleshooting
If the controller does not appear Network Status in the WinControl program, try
the following.
1. Obtain a crossover cable (available in most stores that carry network
products).
2. Connect the crossover cable between the Ethernet connection on your
computer and the Ethernet connector on the LAN Controller.
3. Open an MS-DOS window on your computer and Ping the controller’s
IP address. If the controller is operating correctly, you should receive a
response to the ping command.
If you are unfamiliar with the above steps, contact KMC Controls for assistance
