A.2 Checking Connection
Check the connection between the iSignager 10.4" and the PC.
A.2.1 Check the LED
Check the LAN activity indicator LEDs by the LAN ports. Green indicates an connection,
orange indicates activity.
A.2.2 Ping in DOS Environment or Hyper Terminal Session
The following techniques work from the Terminal.
Page 46
Page 47
iSignager 10.4" Panel PC
A.2.2.1 PC
To check if the specific IP connection exists in the server side, check in DOS environment
of the server. In DOS environment, type “ping” followed by the LAN IP or WLAN IP, e,g.
ping 10.10.12.82. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists, e.g.
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
A.2.2.2 iSignager 10.4"
To check if the specific IP connection exists in the client side, check in a Hyper Terminal
session of the iSignager 10.4". To create a Hyper Terminal session, please refer to
Section
e,g. ping 10.10.19.253. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists,
e.g.
A.1. In Hyper Terminal session, type “ping” followed by the LAN IP or WLAN IP,
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.3 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.5 ms
A.2.3 Check the Status in the Player Manager
The iSignager AdDesign detects the player status automatically and shows the player
status in the “Status” column in the Player Manager window. The status of the player is
either On-Line, Off-Line or Playing.
A.3 Network Behavior
The user can setup LAN and Wifi settings in the iSignager 10.4" at the same time.
However, the iSignager 10.4" takes LAN as the first priority by default when booting up. If
the LAN is successfully activated, the iSignager 10.4" does not activate the Wifi settings.
The Wifi settings is activated only when the LAN activation process is failed.
