            @aimseis which operating system is your PC running? If it's Linux, can you type lsusb ?

                @aimseis You likely have to install a LAN7500 driver on your windows machine

                    @aimseis We can only really help with support on linux, I specifically recommend with Ubuntu 22.04.

                      @tom I have just downloaded ubuntu. I have two more questions.

                      1.) When I set voxl-configure-modem to microhard and then default IP. I can see through the command voxl-inspect-services that the modem is Enabled but a moment later when I refresh the command voxl-inspect-services the modem becomes disabled, why is that?

                      2.) If a voltage over the recommended 5v enters the Carrier USB Dongle Holding the Microhard pDDL, is the Microhard at risk of being damaged at all?

                      Thank You

                        1. The voxl-modem service doesn't need to keep running for the entire time. All it does is a run a few initialization steps and then exits, so that's not an issue.

                        2. I'll get someone from the hardware team to comment

                          Per Microhard the ABS max of the 5V rail is +10% consistent with USB specs, so 5.5V.
                          Anything above that will risk damage to your device.
                          There are other components on our M0048 design that will be damaged at 6V.

                          What voltage did you apply to this board @aimseis ?

                            @Vinny What about the VOXL & VOXL 2 Microhard Modem Add-on with USB Hub, when this is on the VOXL does this have any voltage restrictions? Also is this compatible with the sentinel.

                              @Vinny also how long to receive new parts to Florida if ordered today?

                                Hi @aimseis
                                When you use a plug-in board with Voxl or Voxl2, they and the plug-in board manage the input 5V and other voltages so all you need is to provide the correct power module to your Voxl or Voxl2, and the rest is handled.

                                I'm not able to provide answers on shipping time as I am in Hardware Engineering, not shipping/production. Sorry.

                                  We received the new parts and I am able to successfully communicate with the microhard at 192.168.168.1. How can I enter the voxl portal? I have configured the modem but the default IP does not take me to the voxl portal.

                                    @aimseis Are you able to ping the voxl from your pc over the Microhard network?

                                          @aimseis If you can't ping the voxl's IP address from your pc you won't be able to access portal

                                            @tom How do I get the VOXL IP? I have followed the whole QuickStart video. The Voxl 2 Sentinel has a microhard in addition to the usb board dongle. I can access the microhard portal with default IP of 192.168.168.1. When I enter adb shell and configure modem to default 192.168.168.100 shouldn’t that be the VOXL IP? If so why is it not working and showing the VOXL portal when I run it in an internet search bar.
