Cannot Locate The Equipment With Local Discovery - Toshiba e-Studio2000AC Software Troubleshooting Manual

6.TROUBLESHOOTING FOR NETWORK CONNECTIONS
 Cannot locate the equipment with Local Discovery
Problem Description
Local Discovery cannot detect the equipment.
Corrective Action
The equipment is normally located automatically by SNMP. When the TWAIN driver, File Downloader, Address Book
Viewer, Backup/Restore Utility, Remote Scan driver, N/W-Fax driver or printer driver cannot automatically discover
the equipment over the network, the most likely cause is limitations of the protocols supported by the computer. In
some cases, you need to add or update network components; however, first see the checklist below to fix the
problem.
No.
1 Is SNMP enabled on the equipment?
2 Are the SNMP setting of the equipment
and that of the software the same?
3 Confirm that the protocol suite installed
on the client computer has been updated
with the latest software for the given
operating system. If your network only
supports the IPX/SPX protocol, make sure
that the most current version of Novell
Client software is installed.
4 Print an NIC Configuration page from the
equipment. Does the equipment support
the same protocol as the network?
5 Change the protocol settings from
TopAccess, if necessary, and reboot the
equipment for the changes to take effect.
Repeat step 2. Was the device discovered?
6 Check the NIC Configuration page. Are the
IP address and subnet mask settings
correct?
7 Check the router to make sure that it is not
filtering out the equipment packets. Is the
router processing equipment packets
correctly?
8 Can another computer within the same
network segment discover the
equipment?
9 Check the NIC Configuration page. Is the
Unit Serial Number part of the device
name?
10 Check link activities on the port being
used by the equipment and the integrity of
the network cable, hub, or switch that
connects the equipment to the network.
Replace any network components that
you can tell or suspect are faulty.
Check... Yes No
