9. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with the converter, consider the following:

• Brak zasilania: Upewnij się, że zasilacz jest prawidłowo podłączony i zapewnia odpowiednią głośność.tage (DC 5-36V). Check the POWER LED.
• Brak połączenia sieciowego: Verify the Ethernet cable connection. Check network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway). Ensure the Ethernet port LEDs are active.
• Serial Communication Failure: Check serial port wiring (RS232 pinout, RS485 A+/B- polarity). Verify baudrate, data bits, parity, and stop bits settings match the connected serial device. Observe 232TX/RX and 485TX/RX LEDs for activity.
• Nie można uzyskać dostępu Web Interfejs: Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the converter's default IP (192.168.0.x). Try pinging the converter's IP address.
• Połączenie przerywane: Check for network interference or cable issues. Review KeepAlive and time-out reboot settings.
• Przywrócenie ustawień fabrycznych: If configuration becomes problematic, perform a factory reset.
