QUICKLY EVALUATE AP & BRIDGE MODES
Quickly evaluate the ACKSYS device in AP role
You need a second computer (PC2) with a working Wireless connection.
Set up PC2 Wireless network interface according to the default parameters of
the ACKSYS AP device (802.11n, channel 6, SSID "acksys", no security).
Quickly evaluate the ACKSYS device in client role
Use two ACKSYS devices, and a second computer (PC2) with a wired LAN
connection.
Set up the IP addresses according to the picture above and set the device
connected to PC2 to Client (infrastructure) role.
Wait for the "State" LED to stop flashing (when it associates to the AP). From
each PC, start a command prompt and check the link with the ping command.
From PC1: type ping 192.168.1.2, verify the answer returned by PC2
« Answer from 192.168.1.2... »
From PC 2: type ping 192.168.1.1, verify the answer returned by PC1

None of the LED indicators turn ON
•
Verify the power supply (voltage, cabling).
•
Verify the fuse "FUS" on the back of the evaluation board.
The ETHERNET link/activity led indicator stays OFF
•
Check the Ethernet plugs. Use the provided RJ45 cable.
•
Check that the peer device is working properly.
•
Try to connect another device.
The Wi-Fi link does not come up
•
Make sure that the Wireless parameters of the Client (case sensitive
SSID, 802.11 mode, radio channel and security) match those of the AP.
•
Check the radio conditions: distance between devices, placement of
antennas, interferences and obstacles to radio waves propagation.
•
Try with all securities and encryption settings temporarily disabled.
•
Try using the product with factory settings as shown in the "Quickly
evaluate..." section.
•
Try another radio channel.
"ACKSYS NDM" doesn't find your device
•
ACKSYS NDM only scans the local network. To reach a device through
a gateway, use the "fileremote products database" function.
•
Check that your firewall does not block the Java machine.
How to restore factory settings?
•
If the built-in web-based interface is reachable, you can use a browser
to restore factory settings.
•
Else, power up the unit, wait for the red "Diag" LED to turn green, then
hold down the reset button (for at least 2 seconds) until "Diag" goes red.
Then release it and wait for the Diag LED to turn green again, meaning
that the product rebooted with its factory settings.
