ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 • Run an IP scanner application in your network to discover the IP address of the wireless controller. • Connect a serial cable between a computer and the wireless controller, and use the ipconfig command to discover the IP address of the wireless controller. Check the Internet Browser If the Ethernet cabling and IP address configuration are fine, the Internet browser might prevent you from accessing the web management interface. Check the following: • Make sure that you are using the http://address login rather than the https://address login. • Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button to be sure that the Java applet is loaded. • Try quitting the browser and launching it again. • Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when entering this information. If the wireless controller does not save changes you have made in the web management interface, check the following: • When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to another tab or screen, or your changes are lost. • Click the Refresh button or Reload button in your web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the web browser might be caching the old configuration. After you have upgraded the firmware, if the browser does not display the latest features of the web management interface, clear the browser's cache, and refresh the screen.

The device then responds with an echo reply. You can troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer. You can ping the wireless controller from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your wireless controller is set up correctly. To ping the wireless controller from a computer running Windows: 1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the wireless controller, as in this example: ping 192.168.0.250 3. Click the OK button. You should see a message like the following one: Troubleshooting 298
