Hawking 3 port print server

[Huscarl17]

Found several in a box no PS with them so ordered new from DigiKey.
None work correctly some power up but can not see them on the network and can not connect with the Hawking setup software.

Does anyone have any experience repairing?

I am going to do a complete recap on two of the ones that light up.


Will post followups.

Monitor network traffic from (and to) the device shortly after powerup to see if it is looking for a DHCP lease, BOOTP, TFTP access, etc.

If there are indicator LEDs on the NIC connector, see if they "wink" at all.

If they're wireless devices, then you'll have to snoop the wireless traffic, instead.
