Is the power light flashing or steady? If it is flashing, the EtherLite has lost its IP address and needs to be reset. If the power LED is steady, the EtherLite has an IP address, but it is probably not the one that the driver was configured with.

When the EtherLite boots up, it sends out a bootp request whether or not it already has an IP address. If there is a DHCP server on the network, it will pick up the bootp request and serve the EtherLite an IP address. If the DHCP server does not have an IP reserved for the MAC address of the EtherLite, then the IP assigned will most likely not match the IP that was used to configure the driver.

To discover what the IP address of the EtherLite unit is, you can use either the boot console procedure or the bootps utility for Windows found on our web site. The instructions for the boot console are detailed at the first URL listed below.

Bootps.exe is a small bootp server that will pick up the request from the EtherLite and display the IP address associated with that unit's MAC address. You can find bootps.exe on the Technical Support site at the second URL listed below.
