Frequently Asked Questions

Why can´t I access the web based configuration?

When entering the IP Address of the DVG-2001S (10.1.1.1), you are not connecting to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility, however.

To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.

S t e p 1 Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device.

If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on.

What type of cable should I be using?

The following connections require a Crossover Cable:

Computer to Computer

Computer to Uplink Port

Computer to Access Point

Computer to Print Server

Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810

Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+

Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)

Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:

Computer to Residential Gateway/Router

Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Rule of Thumb: ”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”
