4.2.5 Troubleshooting Connection Problems
If the attempt to connect to a base station failed, consider these possible
causes.
1. Your PC is part of your organization’s LAN and does not belong to
the same subnet as the base station. Give the PC a suitable IP address
and subnet mask as described in “Connecting a Networked PC to a
Base Station” on page 50.
2. You are attempting to connect to the wrong IP address. Check that
the IP address is correct.
