Remark: Alternatively, if you don't have an Ingress Client setup, you can use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in place of the PC's IP Address and then try re-testing the connection. If there's another PC with the Ingress Client installed, ensure that the server PC's IP address is properly set in the AWDMS Information settings main Ingress Server PC.

(B) Re-configure new Server IP on the device side 


If you observe that the Server PC's IP address has changed, it's essential to update this new IP Address on the device end as well. This means you'll need to adjust the settings on devices like Face ID 5, Face ID 6, TC10, or TC20 to ensure they can connect successfully with the AWDMS.


Go to the device:  Press Menu > COMM. > Cloud Server Setting > Insert your new PC IP address.


(C) Once device showing online in AWDMS, then you can re-download the logs again from the Ingress software
