9. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

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

• ശക്തിയില്ല: Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and providing the specified voltage (DC 5-36V). Check the POWER LED.
• നെറ്റ്‌വർക്ക് കണക്ഷൻ ഇല്ല: 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.
• ആക്‌സസ് ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയില്ല Web ഇൻ്റർഫേസ്: 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.
• ഇടവിട്ടുള്ള കണക്ഷൻ: Check for network interference or cable issues. Review KeepAlive and time-out reboot settings.
• ഫാക്ടറി പുന et സജ്ജമാക്കുക: If configuration becomes problematic, perform a factory reset.
