Troubleshooting

Overview

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered

while using the DC-202 and some possible solutions to them. If you follow

the suggested steps and the DC-202 still does not function properly, con-

tact your dealer for further advice.

General Problems

Problem

Can't connect to the DC-202 to configure it.

Solution

Check the following:

• The DC-202 is properly installed, LAN connections are

OK, and it is powered ON.

• Ensure that your PC and the DC-202 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 compatible with the DC-202's

default IP Address of 192.168.0.1.

Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0

to match the DC-202.

In Windows, you can check these settings by using Con-

trol Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP

protocol.
