your firewall to allow the System Architect software and/or port 3804 tcp
and udp to pass through the firewall.
etheRNet LINK
Make sure that you have a valid Ethernet connection by looking at the link
status lights. Most Ethernet devices will have some kind of indicator that
shows the link is present. Check the following connections:
PCM96 Surround device – If there is a valid connection on the PCM96 •
Surround you will see a solid green LED.
PC running the System Architect software
•
Hub / Switch (if used) •
If you fail to see a link light try removing and reinserting the cable or trying
a different, known good, cable. Also, make sure that you are using the cor-
rect cable.
PING
There is a simple utility built into OS-X that tests the network connection
between two devices. The following steps outline how to use this utility.
In the Applications folder, double click the Terminal icon. 1.
At the prompt enter ping -c 4 <IP address of your PCM96 Surround> 2.
and press Enter. The data should appear something like this:
PING <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62
time=1.118 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62
time=1.093 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62
time=1.067ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62
time=1.042ms
--- <IP address of your PCM96 Surround> ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.042/1.08/1.118 ms
If you get a “Reply from” response from the IP address that you were ping-
ing in a timely manner, it means that you have a valid network connection
between the two devices.
If you receive a “No route to host” or “0 packets received” message, this indi-
cates that your computer is not communicating with the device.
