Can't connect after assigning static IP
Posted: Sun May 13, 2018 1:22 pm
Hey everyone,
I recently upgraded my BCS-462 to firmware 4.1.2. After the upgrade, I decided to try assigning a static IP address, and I think I may have botched things a bit. My home network (Airport Extreme) has a DHCP range of 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.200, and thinking I was following the instruction to assign in a range outside of this, I assigned the BCS-462 an IP of 10.10.10.10 I was able to connect to the BCS using this address for a short while, then it stopped responding.
At this point, the BCS Finder utility locates the BCS at 10.10.10.10 and identifies it's Mac Address, but I cannot connect. Attempting to connect to the IP just spins away and eventually times out. I have tried powering down the unit several times, as well as resetting my router and other network hardware, clearing my cache, and even trying to connect from another computer.
I've done a bunch of digging around and can't seem to find a way to perform a factory reset on the BCS-462, or any other options to get the connection to reset and get me back in. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!
