Safety Instructions

ETHERNET LINK

Make sure that you have a valid Ethernet connection by looking at the link

status lights. Most Ethernet devices will have some kind of indicator that

shows the link is present. Check the following connections:

• PCM96 Surround device – If there is a valid connection on the PCM96

Surround you will see a solid green LED.

• PC running the System Architect software

• Hub / Switch (if used)

If you fail to see a link light try removing and reinserting the cable or trying

a different, known good, cable. Also, make sure that you are using the cor-

rect cable.

PING

There is a simple utility built into OS-X that tests the network connection

between two devices. The following steps outline how to use this utility.

1. In the Applications folder, double click the Terminal icon.

2. At the prompt enter ping -c 4 <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>

and press Enter. The data should appear something like this:

PING <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: 56 data bytes

64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62

time=1.118 ms

64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62

time=1.093 ms

64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62

time=1.067ms

64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96 Surround>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62

time=1.042ms

--- <IP address of your PCM96 Surround> ping statistics ---

4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max = 1.042/1.08/1.118 ms

If you get a “Reply from” response from the IP address that you were ping-

ing in a timely manner, it means that you have a valid network connection

between the two devices.

If you receive a “No route to host” or “0 packets received” message, this indi-

cates that your computer is not communicating with the device.
