Networking remote dashboard
We have a USB to Enet converter that we connected to the Classmate USB and the Remote Dashboard laptop Enet connector. We set the USB adapter in the Classmate 10.3.59.X and the laptop to 10.3.59.Y (unused IPs). Using the network connections control panel, we bridged the standard and new connections on the Classmate. Everything worked fine when we selected Remote Dashboard on the drivers station. At the San Diego Regional, we had a problem communicating with the FMS. We had a red LED for Enet on the DS Diagnostic tab that appears to be caused by the bridged connection. The field tech said that the bridged connection is not a supported configuration. That killed our remote dashboard.
Is there a way to configure the Classmate to allow communication using the USB/Enet adapter? If so, can anyone give us a hint on how it is done?
