If the device cannot connect to the network:
- Wired Connection: Check if the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the device and the router/switch. Verify that your network equipment is functioning correctly.
- Wireless Connection: Ensure the Wi-Fi password is correct. Check if the device is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router and the FAD-D55 device.
- IP Address: Verify the device's IP address settings (DHCP or static) are correct for your network configuration.
5.3 Device Unresponsive
If the touch screen is unresponsive or the device freezes:
- Perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button until the device restarts.
