Troubleshooting
LAN Connection Failure
s
Ensure the Modem is properly installed, the LAN connections are correct,
and the power is on.
s
Confirm the computer and Modem are on the same network segment. If
unsure, let the computer get the IP address automatically by initiating the
DHCP function (see “ DHCP Server” in chapter 3), then verify the computer
is using an IP address within the default range (192.168.1.64 through
198.168.1.254). If the computer is not using an IP address within the range,
it will not connect to the Modem.
s
Ensure the Subnet Mask address is set to 255.255.255.0 by clicking Status in
the “Main Menu” screen.
