Ethernet Blaster 2 - Log in issues

I have an Ethernet Blaster 2 Communications Cable that is fresh out of the box. I've connected the Ethernet and power cables and waited to the status LED was solid green and then I tried to connect to the unit by typing in the the host name into my web browser (http://aceb09cd/) with no luck. I am unable to connect. I got the host name off of the back of the Blaster. Has anyone else had this issue before? Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Shannon

    Identification by host name can only work if your local DHCP server support host name resolution. Most routers don't support it, company administartors often don't enable the service. Without host name resolution, you need to determine the Ethernet Blaster's IP address.
