Troubleshooting - D-Link DWL-1000AP+ Manual

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the instal-
lation and operation of the DWL-1000AP+. We cover various aspects of the
network including network adapters. (The examples below are illustrated in
Windows XP. If you have another operating system, these solutions will still
apply although the appearance on your computer screen may differ.)
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure
the DWL-1000AP+ Access Point.
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-1000AP+ cannot access
the Configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-1000AP+ is ON. If the
LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection
is securely inserted.
Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see
item 3 (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are
installed properly) in this Troubleshooting section to check
that the drivers are loaded properly.
Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet
as the DWL-1000AP+. Please see Checking the IP Address
in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this
manual.
Note: The IP Address of the DWL-1000AP+ is 192.168.0.50. All the computers on
the network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.
Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the network.
They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-1000AP+ is
responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping
192.168.0.50. A successful ping will show four replies.
