Messed Up IP address for HC200


Recommended Posts

I was assigning a static IP address to my HC200, and apparently hit the wrong button on the user interface and set it before I had the IP address complete, and now of course it won't talk to my HC300 running director. Any ideas how to reset the HC200 back to default dynamic IP addressing now that I cannot control it with the remote? I have held the Link/Identify button down until it reset but that didn't fix it and appeared to just a do a normal power cycle similar to removing power. Thanks in advance.

lvs...been a while since I've talked with you...it's Dan (dhendriksen)...good to see you online.

The only way I know of is to do a USB restore, but there may be other ways. The other thing I would think of is holding down that reset button, but it sounds like you already tried that.

Can you see it on your network and get the IP that way, then telnet in?

From the HC200 installation guide:

Troubleshooting

To reset the HC-200, press and hold the Identification button until the WiFi

LED blinks orange, signaling the start of the boot process.

To reset to network defaults (wired connection), power cycle the HC-200 and

hold the Identification button until the Data, Link, and Power LEDs are solid

blue, and then immediately release.

If during the boot sequence, the WiFi LED stays orange, press and hold the

Identification button until the LED blinks blue, then release.

yes it has. Hi Dan. I have tried the reset but perhaps holding it down longer is worth a try. I was afraid somebody would say USB restore, hopefully there is another way. I could not find it on the network even though the subnet mask and gateway were already set properly. Not sure even what happened, as I was entering the numbers from the virtual keypad and bang completely out of the data entry screen and the Dynamic/Static selection screen.

awesome! Thanks tigrzeve! I couldn't find my hc200 installation manual, not even sure I have it in the first place.
