Verify the network path to the WEB-TEMP

You can ping the WEB-TEMP to verify that the network path from the computer to the device is set up
correctly.

 Enter ping followed by the IP address of the WEB-TEMP.

For example, enter

ping

192.168.0.10

and press the

Return

key. If you can successfully communicate

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

If a "

Request

timed

out

" error or a "

Destination

host

unreachable

" message is returned, the network

settings may not be set correctly. Press the

RESET

button on the WEB-TEMP 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-TEMP. Refer to "Connecting the WEB-TEMP directly to a computer" on page 14 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-TEMP may not be

working. Contact MCC technical support. Refer to

Getting help

on page 28 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.
