I am attempting to perform the initial setup of an IPC card, but am having some problems.

I seated the card, set it up as a DKSC-16, set up the first 8 ports as Standard Keysets and assigned them an extension number, then connected it to our network. I couldn't ping the card (even after addiding a routing exception into my PC's routing table).

So I connected a laptop to the 232 port on the IPC card. Programmed a static IP address using the same subnet as my PC. After setting the address, I reset the card, went back to my PC, and attempted to connect to the IPC card over the network. No luck. I can't even ping it.

I connected the IPC card directly to the laptop with a crossover cable, and can connect to the web interface just fine.

I have checked the IP settings, network switch settings, and everything looks like it should work.

Any ideas???
