Solution
Check the cable is securely
plugged into the power outlet
and the machine. Turn on the
main power switch.
Press the {Online} key.
Check the error message or warn-
ing status on the display panel
and take the required action. See
p.39 "When a Message Is Dis-
played".
Connect the interface cable before
turning on the machine.
Connect the interface cable se-
curely. If it has a fastener, fasten
that securely as well. See "Con-
necting to the Interfaces", Gener-
al Settings Guide.
The type of interface cable you
should use depends on the com-
puter. Be sure to use the correct
one. If the cable is damaged or
worn, replace it. See "Connecting
to the Interfaces", General Set-
tings Guide.
To check signal status, press the
{User Tools/Counter} key, and then
select [System Settings] using {U}
or {T}. On [Interface Settings], se-
lect [IEEE 802.11b], and then press
[Wireless LAN Signal] using {U} or
{T}. If signal quality is poor,
move the machine to a location
where radio waves can pass or re-
move objects that might cause in-
terference. (You can check signal
status only when using wireless
LAN in infrastructure mode.)
Check using the machine's dis-
play panel that the SSID is cor-
rectly set. See "Network
Settings", General Settings
Guide.
