Appendix B – Troubleshooting

Q: What is the IP address of my RNX-GX4?

A: The default IP address is

192.168.1.1

.

However If you changed the IP address in “LAN IP address” of “LAN Setup” and

have forgot, you might get the IP address of RNX-GX4 by looking up the IP address

of the default gateway for your computer.

To do this in most Windows OS computers, click Start > Run, Type “

cmd

”, and then

enter “

ipconfig

”. The IP address of the Default Gateway should be the IP address of

the RNX-GX4 (This applies to most home network environments).

If your RNX-GX4 is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address from the DHCP

server. This information is only available from the DHCP server which allocates IP

addresses in your network. Find this information directly from the DHCP server or

contact your system administrator for more information. Or you will need to reset

your RNX-GX4 to default. This means your current settings will be lost.

Q: I don’t remember my password.

A: The default password is “

guest

”. If this doesn’t work, you have to reset your

RNX-GX4 using the “
