Q: I cannot access DCS-1000 from a web browser?

A1: The possible cause might be the IP Address for the DCS-1000 is already

being used by another device. To correct the possible problem, you need to

first disconnect DCS-1000 from the network. Then run the PING utility

(follow the instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address).

A2: Another possible reason is the IP Address is located on a different subnet.

To fix the problem, run the PING utility (follow the instructions in Appendix

B - PING Your IP Address). If the utility returns "no response" or similar, the

finding is probably correct, then you should proceed as follows:-

In Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT, double check the IP Address of the

DCS-1000 is within the same subnet as your workstation.

Click "Start", "Setting", "Control Panel", and the "Network" icon.

If the DCS-1000 is situated on a different subnet than your workstation, you

will not be able to set the IP address from this workstation. To verify make

first 3 sections of the workstation. Therefore the IP address of the DCS-1000

must be set from a workstation on the same subnet.

provided power supply DC 5V for the DCS-1000 and verify that the power

supply is well connected.

Q: Why does the LAN LED not light up properly?

A1: There might be a problem with the network cable. To confirm that the

cables are working, PING the address of a know device on the network. If the
