HAL SYSTEM INSTALL GUIDE If these broadcast messages do not appear, this indicates a connectivity problem and you will not be able to connect to a HAL device on the local network until the problem is corrected. Try power cycling the HAL and then repeating this step. 7. Verify that the correct network interface card (NIC) is being used. If the HAL is not found after power cycling, verify that the computer's link-local IP address intended for use by the HAL is on the network interface card (NIC) controlling the connection to the HAL. To guarantee that the correct NIC is used, you can try disabling all other NICs on the PC except for the one connected to the same network as the HAL, and then restart the PC. Halogen establishes a link-local IP address for use in establishing communications with the HAL. Because most computers contain multiple NICs, it is possible that the link-local address has been assigned to the wrong NIC or assigned to the wrong route table. You can determine if this problem exists by following the procedures below: l To determine if the link-local IP address has been assigned to the proper NIC: Windows 7: Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Sharing Center, click the network link associated with the connection on which the HAL resides, and then click the Details button in the dialog box that displays. Verify that the first two numbers of one of the IP addresses are 169.254. The second two numbers can be anything between 0 and 255. 110
