Question: Why is it not possible to establish a network connec-
tion with the Forum 523/524?
Check whether the LEDs for the switch and the PC’s network card
are indicating a connection.
Check the LEDs for the LAN functions of the Forum 523/524. A
green LED above each LAN port indicates whether the network
cable has been properly connected. A blinking green LED indicates
whether there is any network traffic on the line.

Forum 523/524, enter the “ping IP address” command in “Run” in
the Windows Start menu (e.g. ping 192.168.99.254).
