NETWORK PROBLEMS

PROBLEM: THE WAP-4500 CAN NOT FIND THE MEDIA SERVER

Wait a moment and try to search again.

Close and open the Media Server program.

Confirm the Media Server is shared and allows WAP-4500 to access media content.

Confirm a network link is established.

Check whether the IP address, default gateway address, and DNS address of the Media Server are correctly configured, when a static IP address is used.

Check if the Windows firewall setting is set accordingly.

PROBLEM: THE WAP-4500 IS UNABLE TO CONNECT TO NETWORK

Wired:

Check the switch, hub, or router is turned on.

Check the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAP-4500 and the switch, hub, or router.

If Static (fixed IP address) is selected, check the IP address is not already in use.

Check the IP address and subnet mask are in the same range, if you are using a static IP address.

If Static (fixed IP address) is selected, check the Default GW IP address is properly assigned.

Wireless:

Check the signal strength is acceptable.

Check the WLAN security setting, if enabled, is correct.

Follow steps of static wired connection to confirm the IP address is properly configured.

PROBLEM: WINDOWS SECURITY ALERT IS DISPLAYED AT STARTUP.

If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), the Windows Firewall may block the Media Server program from accepting connections from the Internet or the network when you start the program in an attempt to protect your computer from possible malicious code or virus attacks. When you see the security alert message: Click Unblock to continue and run the program.

PROBLEM: THE WAP-4500 IS UNABLE TO CONNECT TO INTERNET RADIO

An Internet connection is not available. Confirm the Internet connection works. If not, refer to the router/gateway manual for Internet connection settings.

The Internet radio service is not available. The Internet radio station might be off line or exceed its service capacity. Wait for a few minutes and retry.

The Internet radio streaming format is not supported. The WAP-4500 only supports MP3/WMA Internet radio content.
