advatek controller connection

[swampy]

hi everyone...im having trouble with an advatek pixlite 16, i lost connection to it so factory reset and started again, but i still cant connect, tried changing my ip to 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 but still cant find it, advatek assistant doesn't pick it up either, the ethernet port is flashing so its processing data from somewhere, anyone got any ideas?

Hi, Make sure the right network adapter is selected on your laptop.

yep as Wayne said, click the dropdown box and select the correct subnet you are working with.

you shouldn't have to change to ip address of your pc if the pixlite is connected to the same network with a DHCP server.

I have tried both the adaptors in the dropdown menu and still no luck, maybe its a dodgy board, i have emailed advatek to see what they say, funny that i have two boards and one will connect the other wont.

Dare I say did you trying swapping the cables?

Describe your network setup - I'm assuming

router <-> switch <-> laptop
                + <-> Pixlite1
                + <-> Pixlite2

How is the working one set up? Manual IP address or set by DHCP?
Dang it! My formatting won't stay! Switch connects to laptop and both Pixlites.
