fails to register 
(red LED is lit on 
TKB).
TKB (keyboard) - does not 
have a reserved IP address
OR
does not have the right IP 
address
OR
is not communicating with 
the right controller.
1. Check DHCP lease to confirm if an expected IP address is 
assigned to TKB. 
2. If not assigned properly, ensure that you enter the MAC 
address of TKB properly in the Multiline Sets form in 
System Administration Tool.
3. Recycle the power of the TKB to ensure that the TKB is 
reloaded properly.
Console PC does not have 
the proper IP address.
If the IP address of PC is on different subnet than the TKB, 
make sure that the router between these two subnets is 
functional.
PC NIC has 802.1Q enabled 
on Data side while L2 switch 
is not configured to accept

Note: Only use 802.1Q on PC if PC and TKB are on the same 
VLAN (e.g 2) which L2 switch accepts tagged frame on the 
specified VLAN.
