NetMAXFAQ : Installation :
The NetMAX is waiting for an IP address (it is beeping), and I have pinged it, but it does not respond.
Applies to: NetMAX FreeBSD Bld475
NetMAX Linux 2.0.37 - 4.0xaddress-suppressedMake sure that the machine from which you are pinging is on the same network as the NetMAX. Make sure that the NetMAX is plugged in to your Ethernet, and check your Ethernet cables. Check that the LEDs on your Ethernet card, if available, are lit up.
If you are using the method of pinging using the "special" MAC address of 1:2:3:4:5:6, you will not see any ping responses. However, the NetMAX beeping should stop. If you are still having problems, try the ping again. Also, try the following command, which substitutes 20 for the 5:
ping -n 20 NetMAXIP

What do I do when I hear the NetMAX beeping at me about once every five seconds?
