D-Link DI-707P user manual Network Settings

Network Settings

To use the DI-707P correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers.

The default IP address of the DI-707P is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix B to configure it. For example,

1.configure IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.0.1, or more conveniently,

2.configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via the DHCP server of the DI-707P.

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the DI-707P. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command

ping 192.168.0.1

If the following messages appear:

Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and the DI-707P has been successfully established. However, if you get the following messages:

Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

this indicates that the installation is not successful. Please check the following items in sequence:

1.Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the DI-707P and your computer?

The LAN LED of the DI-707P and the link LED of the network adapter card on your computer must be lighted.
