36 Connecting to the Base Station TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual
© Tait International Limited December 2022
To connect the base station to your computer, ensure that your computer is
part of the same subnet as the base station, or has a route to it. Refer to your
operating system provider’s Help for further information.
Base stations leave the factory with default IP address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet
mask: 255.255.255.0. If your base station will still not connect to your PC,
contact your local Tait dealer.
You may need to temporarily disconnect a networked PC from its LAN in
order to establish a direct connection with the base station. A physical
connection is needed as well as an alternate or temporary IP address and
subnet mask.
4.2.5 Troubleshooting Connection Problems
If the attempt to connect to a base station failed, consider these possible
causes:
1. Your PC is part of your organization’s LAN and does not belong to
the same subnet as the base station. Give the PC a suitable IP address
and subnet mask as described in “Local Connection to a Base Sta-
tion” on page 35.
2. You are attempting to connect to the wrong IP address. Check that
the IP address is correct.
3. The link to the base station is down. Use ping to check.
4. A connection error may occur if your PC is using the organization’s
web proxy, but the base station doesn’t have a valid gateway address
allowing it to send responses back to that proxy. Users should ensure
that all network parameters are correct (IP address, network mask
and gateway address). You may have to bypass the proxy in your
organization’s LAN to access the radio communications network.
Ask your system administrator to give you access.
5. JavaScript may be disabled in your browser. If JavaScript is
disabled, your browser will be unable to connect to the base station.
Note that modern browsers normally have JavaScript enabled by
default.
