Author Topic: Barco DP4K-19B communication Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 03-14-2018 08:56 AM                     Strange issue here. We have a GDC SX-3000 in the projector. We lost communication with the projector from the server as well as remotely. I tried to ping the projector with no luck. I also tried connecting the laptop to the projector directly. The lights are lit up on the Ethernet port but still nothing. I also used a different cable just in case. What is the default IP sent with the projector. Maybe it reset for some reason?  |  IP: Logged Ioannis Syrogiannis Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Reykjavík, Iceland Registered: Jun 2005 posted 03-14-2018 10:26 AM                     I think it's 192.168.100.2, yet the best/more solid way to connect in such a case is via the serial or USB port of the cinema controller (depends on the cinema controller board). Other than that, if you have a recent edition of the communicator, you can search via the "Manual Discovery" menu, yet it had its issues during the past, dependant to the number of the octets you would use. I should mention, though, that the problem might have to do with a faulty cinema controller. I've seen it happening with an S-series projector where changing again and again the IP via a USB connection, just altered the actual IP address, jumping from one random sequence of numbers to another. Finally, you can use a "sniffer" on your laptop (did I spell it wrong?), like Wireshark, that could show you the address that it's connected with, since you would be seeing packets coming from an address you are not familiar with. If you are only connected to one machine (the projector) that should be it.  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 03-14-2018 10:46 AM                     Thanks Ioannis. Good call. That was the default IP. I was able to get in. I'll change it back and see what happens. Now I have to figure out why it reverted.  |  IP: Logged
