Flying Pig Systems FireBallTM FP-1 ユーザーズマニュアル

If you experience problems registering a FireBall or connecting to the Internet to lookup disc information, try these possible fixes before calling 

Escient Tech Support:

•  Make sure that your FireBall is properly connected to your home network and that all cables are in working order.

•  FireBall communicates using TCP/IP and UDP over Ethernet networks using ports 80, 443, and 1755. If you have a router installed on your

network, make sure that these ports are open for TCP and UDP.

•  If Dynamic TCP/IP addressing fails, check your router to make sure that it is configured to assign dynamic IP addresses via DHCP and try

rebooting your router.

•  If DHCP addressing still isn’t working, try using static IP addresses. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the

following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 - 

192.168.255.255. Note that the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class

B network numbers, and the third block is a set of 255 contiguous class C network numbers. The complete RFC 1918 can be found via FTP on 

http://nic.ddn.mil

•  Crestron, AMX, or other third party controllers capable of controlling the FireBall over Ethernet use port 251. Make sure your router has port

251 open if you plan on using two-way control over Ethernet.

Software Updates are automatically checked once a week starting on the day of the week your FireBall was first registered. You can manually check

for a software update by accessing the Software Update menu found under the Setup/Utilities Menu.
