Cabling
The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling. Make sure that all
conected devices are turned on. On the top of the of the DI-701 is a bank of LEDs, as a first
check verify that the Local Link and Internet Link LEDs are lit and green. If they are not, verify
that you are using the proper cables.
The DI-701' s ports are wired just like a Network Adapter' s port. From the DI-701 directly to a
PC, the cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the DI-701 to a hub or switch, the
cable should be an Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet
crossover cable to an uplink port. For the DI-701 to a cable/DSL modem, it is most common to
use a crossover, and it is recommended that you use the same cable as supplied by your
modem maker.
PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)
Some ISP' s use PPPoE to provide an IP address for each client. For a direct connection that
requires the IP address through a PPPoE login, the DI-701 is unable to receive an IP address
and can therefore not work. What this means is simple, if you use a PPPoE connection to
connect to your ISP directly though your Cable/DSL modem, the DI-701 is unable to be set
with the PPPoE login and will therefore not work. In a PPPoE environment your provider
should be able to set up multiple logins if you have multiple computers and wish to share the
connection. Hardware based Firewall protection is something you will simply have to do
without.
"I can't Find the DI-701 using the DI-701 Setup Software"
For the DI-701 Setup Software to find the DI-701, it has to be accessed from a client. This
means that the computer you are trying to use to run the software must be setup as in Step 6.
Additionally the computer should have been restarted to ensure that it is receiving its IP
address from the DI-701.
To verify that your computer is setup properly, use the "winipcfg" utility in Windows. To run
