CHAPTER 4: MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

SNAP PAC Brains User’s Guide

Make sure the brain’s hold-down screw has been tightened so that it is firmly attached to the 
rack. (Do not overtighten.)

Verify that you typed in the correct address for the brain. Check the label on the side of the 
brain, where the IP address should be written. 

Make sure the brain has been assigned a valid IP address and subnet mask. SNAP PAC brains 
come from the factory with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which is invalid. The default subnet 
mask is 255.255.255.0. To assign an IP address and subnet mask, see the 

PAC Manager User’s 

Guide

.

Make sure that no red LEDs on the brain are lit. A red LED could indicate a voltage supply 
problem. Each brain

 

should have its own power supply. The brain needs a minimum of 5.0 VDC, 

measured at the rack.

Make sure you have up-to-date drivers installed on your computer’s Network Interface Card 
(NIC). Contact your system administrator or the manufacturer of the card for help.

Make sure you have Administrator privileges on your computer and that any firewall in the 
computer (such as the built-in firewall in Windows XP) is temporarily disabled before you try to 
assign or change IP addresses, load firmware using PAC Manager’s Maintenance window, or 
work with files on the brain. BootP and FTP cannot function through a firewall in the PC. 
Firewalls in a router are less likely to be a problem.

Pinging the Brain

If you still cannot communicate with the brain after you have checked these items, try to reach it 
using the PING protocol.

1.

Choose Start

Programs

Accessories and open a command prompt window. 

2.

At the prompt, type:

 ping [brain’s IP address]

For example, type:

 ping 10.192.54.40

If the brain responds,

 go to 

“Accessing the Brain with PAC Manager” on page 28

.

If the PING command cannot be found

, choose Start

Control Panel

Network. Make sure 

TCP/IP is configured as a protocol and that an IP address and subnet mask are assigned. 

If you see the message “Destination host route not defined,”

 the brain probably has an 

inappropriate IP address and subnet mask. Make sure the IP address and subnet mask on the brain 
are compatible with those on the computer. Follow the directions beginning on 

page 24

 to check 

the IP address and subnet mask on the brain, and change them if necessary.

If you see the message “No response from host,”

 check the following:

Are the computer and brain correctly connected? Is the brain turned on?

Are the IP address and subnet mask on the brain compatible with those on the computer?

Is the brain in reset mode? (Check for a blinking STAT LED. STAT blink codes are shown on 

page 25

.)

If you still cannot ping the brain,

 contact Opto 22 Product Support. (See 

page 4

.)
