    • IP address was that of a Lantronix box so able to ping Lantronix but not connect to display controller.

Environment

  • Product Family: Message Displays, Software
  • Product: Venus 1500, Galaxy display with M2/M3 controller

To determine if you have a Lantronix box, type the display IP address you are using to connect Venus 1500/M2Config into a web browser address bar. If you are taken to a Lantronix web page, you are working with a Lantronix device and not direct Ethernet to sign.
