DO Supply is NOT an authorized distributor for this manufacturer and therefore the manufacturer’s warranty does not apply. Product comes with DO Supply's 1-year warranty.
If the PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminal is not starting up correctly always check for adequate power first. Inadequate power can cause a variety of unpredictable behavior. Simply verify the terminal's power requirement in the specifications table.
Battery voltage, as well as the display temperature, are indicative of other potential issues as well. Check the battery voltage and display temperature from the PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminal desktop or from the FactoyTalk View ME station configuration mode. If the voltage is below 2.75 volts DC, consider replacing the battery. Obstructed airflow in the chassis can cause the logic board and/or display to overheat. If the logic board temperature is above 95 degrees Celsius or the display temperature is above 55 degrees Celsius, try to moderate the ambient temperatures.
Be sure to check the system event log for unexpected behaviors or errors. You can check this from the FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode. Select Terminal Settings> System Event Log. You can also check the system event log from the control panel by selecting the System Event Log tab on the Hardware Monitor.
If you continue have start-up issues, observe the splash screen for state messages and for the status or error codes.

Examine the status indicators at the Ethernet connector. If the indicator is green, a communication link is on. If the indicator is an amber color and flashing, this indicates data activity. You should always ensure there is a good connection to the hub and uplink ports. Poor cable quality and crimping can inhibit the ethernet connection.
When in configuration mode select Terminal Settings> Networks and Communications > Network Connections > Network Adaptors. Check the DHCP. If this is enabled the device will attempt to connect to a valid IP address within seconds of startup. If it fails to acquire and IP address, the TCP/IP protocol will assign 169.254.xxx.xxx. If the DHCP is not enabled, verify the IP address specified does not conflict with another device on the network.
Other devices must not share the same hostname if they are on the same network. When in configuration mode, select Terminal Settings> Communications and Networks> Network Connections> Device Name.
The Ethernet issue may be caused by the other side of the connection.
Ensure all network requirements are being met.
