D6200 cannot 
connect to the 
D6600 through a 
network connection. 
D6200 network connection is 
defective, missing, or has 
incorrect network cable. 
•  Ensure the Ethernet connection light on the network interface 
module for the PC running D6200 Software is on. This 
indicates a good network connection. 
•  Ensure the Ethernet connection light on the D6680 for the PC 
running D6200 Software is on. This indicates a good network 
connection. 
•  If using the D6600’s COM4 to connect to the D6680, ensure 
Menu Item 6.1.4 COM4 Network Adapter in the D6600 is set 
to 1. 
•  If using the D6600’s COM1 to connect to the D6680, ensure 
Menu Item 6.2.5 COM1 Network Adapter in the D6600 is set 
to 1. 
D6200 cannot 
connect to the 
D6600 through a 
network connection. 
D6200 network connection is 
defective, missing, or has 
incorrect network cable. 
•  If communicating within the same LAN, the IP address of the 
PC running the D6200 software must be entered into the 
D6600 Menu Items 6.4.1 IP Address 1, 6.4.2 IP Address 2, or 
6.4.3 IP Address 3. 
•  If communicating over a WAN, the external IP address of the 
LAN with the PC running the D6200 software must be entered 
into the D6600’s Menu Items 6.4.1 IP Address 1, 6.4.2 IP 
Address 2, or 6.4.3 IP Address 3. 
•  Ensure Menu Item 6.4.5 Network Programming Enable in the 
D6600 is set to 1. 
•  Ensure that the D6200 programming software is set up for 
TCP/IP network connection (select Administration  
Connection Settings). 
—  If communicating on the same LAN, ensure the IP 
address of the D6680 is entered correctly. 
—  If communicating over a WAN, ensure the external 
IP address of the LAN with the D6680 is entered. 
—  Both port numbers match (valid ports are from 
2001 to 9998). 
•  If encryption is enabled on the D6200, 
—  it must also be enabled on the D6680. 
—  the 16-byte key must be the same in the D6680 
and the D6200 software. 
D6200 cannot 
connect to the 
D6600 through a 
network connection. 
D6200 network connection is 
defective, missing, or has 
incorrect network cable. 
•  If communicating over a WAN, the firewalls of the LANs must 
be configured correctly. 
For example, the D6680 resides on one LAN while the D6200 
software resides in another LAN. A WAN connects them both 
but the firewalls at either LAN need to allow TCP and UDP 
packets through. 
•  Firewalls must allow your selected ports to pass through. 
•  Contact your IT administrator.
