8. Frequently Asked Questions

Why can´t I access the web based configuration?
When entering the IP Address of the DVG-2001S (10.1.1.1), you are not connecting
to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility
built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP
subnet to connect to the web-based utility, however.
To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.
Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device.
