Different IPs
The BridgeTab has connected to another IP than the server is using in the example shown to the right. (You find the BT Admin’s IP in the View menu.)
Note that some IP addresses does not work, e.g. 127... and 169.254...; whereas addresses starting with 192.168... are usually good. There is something wrong with the WiFi router (or its settings) if the network shows up with a phony IP.
You can force the BridgeTab to connect to the server’s IP (192.168.0.47 in the example) by clicking the Search button.
You can reset (a force set) IP by selecting “Dummy mode” on the SETTINGS screen and then exit Dummy mode.
WiFI n/a
It will not help to Search for IP so long as the BridgeTab has no connection with any network.
Incorrect network
Select the same network as was used at the start before doing anything else.
BT Admin’s IP n/a
The 3 points in the last case should be self-explanatory.
You can type BridgeTab Admin’s IP into the BridgeTab.
A digital keyboard is shown at the bottom of the screen when you touch the text box Enter manual IP here.
PUBLIC NETWORKS
The network can be very sophisticated in e.g. large hotels and community buildings where subnets and firewalls can prevent the BridgeTabs from connecting, c.f. the communication memo.
Our advice is that you avoid such problems by buying a cheap WiFi router and setting up your own, dedicated network.
NOTHING HELPS
You will need Personal Help if you cannot get it right with the aforementioned advice.
