VNET ETHERNET INTERFACE
Trouble Shooting
The EXT Power indicator does not illuminate
If you do not have a connection to a PoE Ethernet Switch, you need to use the Accessory
Power Supply.
• • Make sure this is connected properly.
• • Check if the power indicator on the Power Supply illuminates.
• • If instead you are using a PoE Ethernet Switch, it is not usually necessary for an external
power supply to be used, in which case this indicator will not illuminate.
PodWare does not find the Interface
• • Check that the Ethernet Data indicator flashes to indicate that there is an
Ethernet connection.
• • Make sure the Ethernet network cable is not too long, is correctly connected,
and is not damaged.
• • Make sure the Interface does not have a Static IP address.
• • Turn off the wireless port on your computer.
• • Check if any firewall is blocking PodWare from accessing the network.
PodWare finds no devices
• • Can you see a Ethernet Interface Network Bar in PodWare?
• • Are the appropriate indicators illuminated? (See above).
• • Make sure the VNET network cabling is not too long, is correctly connected, and is not
damaged and conforms to Application Note DQ2707.
• • Check that the VNET Data indicator flashes when PodWare attempts to go online. If not,
there may be a problem with the VNET cabling.

Update
• • Device Information displays the Host Name, current IP Address, Firmware/Boot versions,
Mac Address and the Online status
• • Locate button - The locate button flashes Ethernet data indicator on the Ethernet Interface
to show which Ethernet Interface you are online to.
• • AutoIP/Static IP radio buttons - Indicates the type of IP addressing and IP address that the
static will be set to. Note: Static IP should not normally be used since this could easily result
in duplicate IP addresses, addresses out of range, or addresses which are not compatible
with your computer settings. Most networks are setup in an ad hoc basis and setting static
IP addresses will prevent the DHCP server assigning a known available IP address.
• • Apply button - Sets configuration of IP setting and network name changes.
• • Firmware Update - Browse to locate update file and click update to load firmware file in to
the Ethernet Interface.
