[BLUEPIRAT Mini] - Resetting network settings
Due to a wrong network setting it might be impossible to reach the data logger any more. In this case the network configuration can be resetted by a long press on the [ON / Trig-ger] button (bP2 ca. 5 – 10 sec. during operation / bP Mini ca. 20 sec. during startup) to default settings: Automatic DHCP configuration (with IP 192.168.0.233).
After a reboot the data logger can be reached again by using a direct connection with a PC/Laptop.
[BLUEPIRAT - all] - Access by using the terminal-IP
If the logger can't be reached by the client or resetting of the network settings does not work correctly it is maybe possible to connect the logger by using the terminal IP address. This is a special IP address wich is normally used for terminal mode.
For that, the network interface of your PC / laptop (TCP/IPv4) has to be set to:
IP: 10.1.255.254
Mask: 255.255.0.0
The System Client automatically is looking for available IP addresses in this range and in some cases you can build a connection to the device in this way.
FAQs from discontinued products
[blue PiraT] – IP-Reset – HDD-check - format
blue PiraT of the first generation can NOT be repaired since 2016. If you continue to use these devices and the device causes problems, this note can help you to get the device back into a functional state.
The different modules of the client communicate on different protocols with the logger so that it may be that some of them can’t reach the logger any more but others still can.
Please try to do the following steps:
1. bP1 resetting network configuration (just when you are having no access to the logger any more)
To be sure that the logger uses the right Network configuration, please reset the settings to DHCP-Server with IP: 192.168.0.231 as shown in the manual:
https://sc.telemotive.de/4/uploads/media/blue_PiraT_User_Manual_4.2.4.pdf
chapter 5.3.1 configuration, page 33
Important: In case of an incorrect network configuration it might not be possible to access the data logger anymore. The data logger can be reset to standard configuration by a long-press of the trigger button (until the trigger LED flashes five times) and a restart of the data logger (wait until data logger switches to standby mode or force standby mode by long-press of the start button until the CAN LEDs flash alternately). After this procedure, the data logger can be accessed via a direct network connection (see chapter 5.2).

[blue AdmiraL] - A1. Unspecified Problems
Have a look at the client logfiles (see User Manual, chapter “blue AdmiraL directory“) and eventually forward them to blueadmiral@telemotive.de.
