ACIII & Ethernet Issues

[elephen]

. How do I configure my AC3 or AC3PRO Ethernet connection?
First you need to get the settings for your local network ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ you can do this by bringing up a command shell on your PC (type cmd in the start->run window of your PC). In the cmd shell type ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“ipconfig /allââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ This will display your internal IP address, netmask, default gateway, and dns server.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the AquaController's Ethernet port and your router/hub/switch's Ethernet port. If the connection is good both the green and yellow LEDs on the AquaController's Ethernet connector should lite. The green LED will blink when there is network traffic.

2. Enter the netmask, default gateway, and dns server into the AquaControllerââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s network setup menus. This information is entered in the setup->net setup menu on the AquaController 3. The IP address should be unique and different then your PCs ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ most likely youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll only change the last 3 digits of the address. For example if your computers IP address is 192.168.1.101, then set the AquaController's IP address to 192.168.1.50.

3. Power cycle or restart (setup->netsetup->restart) the AquaController.

4. The controller is accessed through your internet browser by typing in the IP address of the controller in the address field of your browser. In the above example you would use 192.168.1.50.

Okay I have done this. My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, default gateway and dns servers are 192.168.0.1. I have updated all of this into the ACIII net setup menu and restarted it but still I get nothing. Both green and yellow lights are on and it shows a light on the router it is plugged into.

I can't ping the ACIII (192.168.1.50) and can't hit it via a web browser.

Anything I am missing?

192.168.1.50 is on a different subnet (192.168.1.0), you should move the AC to 192.168.0.50.

Yep figured it out. Did that and it worked fine. Thank you much for the input.

Another thing, did your pH probe come with calibration packets?
