Common Problems and Solutions

The table below lists common problems, and recommended actions.
Problem
The SC101 is not working.
New installation: I cannot access SC101
from my computer.
The SC101 worked before, but now it
doesn't.
"Add letter drive failed" message appears
when creating a drive.
Drive used to work, now it doesn't get a
drive letter, and it doesn't show up in
Windows Explorer.
I am using a DHCP server, and the SC101
either fails to get an IP Address or gets an
IP Address conflict.

Frequently Asked Questions

I cannot remember the SC101's administration password.
The default administration login (admin) uses a default password of "password". You can reset the
SC101 to its default password with the Reset button. See

DHCP server clears this problem. The SC101 requires DHCP;

addresses.
