Fujifilm - FCR XG1: Won't load cassette

The reader and PC need a crossover cable to talk

or u can put them both on the same network 

when no cable problem:

check also reader config, sometimes it falls back to initial 172.16.1.10.

Login with a laptop "telnet" directly to the reader and check/set correct IP-addresses and RU-name.

(7 software utility; 1 display current config: check; 0; 2 temp setting, input new temp setting; 0; reboot)

Thank you all for your help! I will try a crossover cable and report back. If it ends up being the reader configuration, I'll need a little more guidance, I think!

if necessary i can send you a procedure how to connect a laptop and use telnet. it is very easy and takes not more than 5 minutes. btw i always use a straight RJ45-cable CAT5 for this purpose (we live in 2018 and most pc's are auto-sensing), but of course feel free to try the cross-cable.

Please send the procedure. I am at captaindad3@gmail.com. You are saying use a cat5 cable with a laptop to check/reset configuration. I do still need to  use a crossover cable between existing computer with Fuji software and cassette reader, correct?

Hi everybody, Henk1951 can you send me the procedure to connect the computer using a crossover cable.

I´m having a mew expirence with this equipment. I´m at cadillac_127@yahoo.com.mx

Hi pet vet
i just bought a fcr xg1, and having the same problem

dis you fix it? what was the problem

hope you can help me

thank you 

I haven't got it working yet. When I do I will post the fix!

You need to firstly use a standad CAT5 cable between reader and the workstation then go to the desktop and open cr346uty program, once open you can check the conection to the reader and also check the error data base which has an explination of any error codes stored. if theres no conection ip of reader should be 172.16.1.10 and the workstation should be 172.16.1.20 as a default but these may have changed, you'll see any changes in the cr346uty program. if this program is not visable on the desktop simply search in the fuji folder found on the C drive under programs.

Thank you for the reply. I have no connection with the reader. I am going to try an ethernet switch between the reader and workstation. I think I may have a bad ethernet port/card in the workstation. Not quite sure yet how to test that though.
