FW-08 failure to connect

Hi guys,

I'm having some difficulty trying to program an EasyIO FW-08 Controller. Being a complete newbie maybe you guys could give me some advice on what I'm doing wrong. I have a 24 Volt power supply as well as a Cat 5 cable that's connected to the computer. I've downloaded the most recent version of CPT Tools. I've reset the controller to the factory IP address of 192.168.10.8. However, when I go to open the controller it comes up with error code 1, error info: timeout.

I've tried multiple different IP addresses with no luck. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

-Ron

		Have you set your computers IP address to the correct IP range (same as the Controller). Are you using a network switch? Easier if you do. A direct Ethernet connection may need a changeover cable.

		The factory default address for FW-08 is 192.168.10.30
