Hi all.
I have a new network device. An Extron DVS 304 to be precise.
Did it come with a manual? What does the manual say about initial configuration? https://www.extron.com/download/files/userman/68-1039-50DVS304SeriesSetupGui... https://www.blk.gr/uploads/files/products/attachments/pdf/pdfs/Extron/DVS-DV...
I want to access the web page by IP. The IP address is 192.168.254.254 255.255.0.0
Is that what the manual says to use? I must admit what when I point my browser at my router for web-based config I don't use a network mask. And, hmm, that does seem an odd address to use. But it does seem to be the one mentioned in the user manual. Or one of them, at lest.
my network is 192.168.0.* 255.255.255.0
When I type in the IP 192.168.254.254 firefox takes about 5 mins then never loads the page and says The connection has timed out.
I tried resetting the unit.
I tried setting my PC to 192.168.254.1 255.255.0.0
Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I am doing wrong?
The default on my router and on the various Linksys ones I've encountered is 192.168.0.1. I don't know how universal that is, but you might give it a try. You might also try the 10.x.x.x address mentioned in the manual. When I'm absolutely perplexed after putting a new device on the home net and its not here I thought it was, I use NMAP to do a network scan I realise that is time consuming, but like so many things in computing it gives me an opportunity to make a pot of coffee or make and eat dinner, or go to the shops or the library or many of the other things that need to be done if you can drag yourself away from they keyboard. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
