For example, enter

ping

and press the

Return

key. If you can successfully communicate

with the WEB-TC, a message similar to the one below is returned.

If a "

" error or a "

Destination

host

unreachable

" message is returned, the

network settings may not be set correctly. Press the

RESET

button on the WEB-TC to reset the network

configuration settings to factory default values. If DHCP is enabled, an IP address is automatically assigned
to the device. If DHCP is not enabled, assign the device a unique static IP address and re-establish
communication with the WEB-TC. Refer to Connecting the WEB-TC directly to a computer on page 13 for
information on how to assign a static IP address.

If the

RESET

button does not restore the network settings, the microcontroller on the WEB-TC may not be

working. Contact MCC technical support. Refer to

Getting help

on page 27 for contact information.

Contact your network administrator regarding network settings

Changes to network configuration should only be performed by your network administrator or computer
professional.
