If you cannot connect to the Bridge
If the software cannot connect to the Bridge first restart the software and ensure that it is
fully updated. If the Bridge still does not appear it is most likely a networking issue. If this
problem cannot be solved then the Bridge can be connected to point to point using a
standard ethernet cable.
NB
By default the Bridge is connected via DHCP, this and other network settings can be edited via the
Bridge webpages. It is possible to clear all network settings from a Bridge. Please call Rako technical
support for information on how to do this.
