Re: Crown Itech Networking
Marlow, I don't know where things are going wrong, but it sounds like a router issue.
A crossover cable isn't likely to matter these days; most every router, and every single gigabit device supports auto crossover.
The amps can be configured two ways: static IP and DHCP. You most likely want DHCP enabled, with the amps grabbing an IP from the router. You must have DHCP enabled on your router, though, and disable access control, MAC filtering, etc, at least for now.
If the amps do NOT get an IP, they get an ''automatic private IP'' just like a Windows computer when it doesn't get an IP. In this mode, the amps will still talk, so if you have to, you can connect the amps straight to the computer or through a switch only with no router. Ultimately, this isn't very reliable and you need to get that router working.
Test your router with a computer or some other devices and make sure they get IPs and can talk.
Make sure the Itechs have the newest firmware.
And as already said, if you check the ''Readdress Devices'' window, you absolutely should see the amps.
If you have multiple network cards in your computer, make sure System Architect is only set up to use the network with the amps on it, and make sure System Architect is online!
