Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the TEW-435BRM.
The TEW-435BRM is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and
it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the TEW-435BRM 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 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus com-
patible with the TEW-435BRM's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
TEW-435BRM.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network
Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
TEW-435BRM. 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.)
Check the TEW-435BRM's status screen to see if it is working cor-
rectly.
