Troubleshooting
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using
ADW-4100 and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps
and ADW-4100 still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further
advice.
General Problems
Question
1: Can't connect to ADW-4100 to configure it.
Answer 1: Check the following:
•
ADW-4100 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it
is powered ON.
•
Ensure that your PC and ADW-4100 are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
•
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.
•
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using
an IP Address within the range 10.0.0.3 to 10.255.255.254 and
thus compatible with ADW-4100's default IP Address of 10.0.0.2.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.0.0.0 to match
ADW-4100.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control
Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Configuration and Internet Access
Question 1 When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Answer 1 A number of things could be causing this.
Try the following troubleshooting steps.
•
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP
settings are correct. If using a Fixed IP Address, check the Net-
work Mask, Default gateway and DNS configured on PC.
•
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check
ADW-4100. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and
check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and
power connections.)
•
If ADW-4100 is configured correctly, contact your ISP to see if
Internet connection is working correctly.
