02 · DuoFlex S2 / V1.11 / DHCP / Home / FW Date / SAT > IP Server / FPGA / Tuner Status / Stream status / 1.29 / Q3/2014
Match the DuoFlex S2-equipped Octopus NET to manual V1.11 of September 17, 2014. Its configuration chapter is explicitly based on firmware 1.29 (Q3/2014); match installed software before following menus, and do not transfer it to C/T-only units or MC-S. Use the existing authorized interface and known local DHCP lease; the manual expects server and clients on the same local network. A flashing front status LED means booting, while steady on means operational readiness, not satellite lock. Record FW Date, SAT > IP Server, FPGA and detected tuner types under Home. Compare Tuner Status strength/quality and current use with Stream status before blaming the RF path. Preserve LNB Settings, switch/QoS, network addresses and channel plans. Do not reset, update firmware, rewire or change feed settings as a first check.
When to stop and get help
Do not continue these checks in unsafe conditions. For immediate danger, use local emergency services and the device’s emergency instructions. Otherwise, contact your provider or a qualified technician.
