    You might try rebooting your router. Although you don't need to use port forwarding on your router it does assign the radio an I/P address on my LAN.  On my router it registers as 192.168.1.16 using a Linksys router. When I turn off the radio that I/P address disappears.


    When I scan my LAN the name comes up as Texas Instruments c6a816x-evm.


    Unless the router "sees" the radio it will not work.

    Try starting with the radio plugged right into your PC. No switches, routers, etc. Reboot both (PC first) and see if there's a link. That will prove the NIC, cable, and Flex.

    Steve,

    Open CMD window and do ipconfig.
    1. What is the IP of your workstation
    2. Compare that to the IP that is showing in SmartSDR.

    When I first brought my radio it could not find the DHCP so it defaults to an IP of 169.x.x.x which means it is not getting the correct IP from your network.

    Also try entering PING (IP address displayed by SmartSDR) 

    This will confirm you have a route to the radio.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
