You Reply: I used AC/DC adapter output rated 9V 300ma. Pressed reset for 10 seconds, I then unplugged the power then USB and reconnected.
The IP changed to :
inet 169.254.177.110 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 169.254.255.255
I am using a Mac for development. The ethernet connection defaults to DHCP. The above IP may have been assigned by my Mac. I made it manual and set the IP to 192.168.1.254. As before I can ping the IP but cannot open the config page. The configuration Web server may not be running.
