This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.

Overview

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the TW100- BRV204 and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the TW100-BRV204 still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.

General Problems

Problem 1: Can't connect to the TW100-BRV204 to configure it.

Solution 1: Check the following:

The TW100-BRV204 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.

Ensure that your PC and the TW100-BRV204 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 com- patible with the TW100-BRV204 's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the TW100-BRV204 .

In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel- Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

Internet Access

Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.

Solution 1: A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.

Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.

If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the TW100-BRV204 . Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)

If the TW100-BRV204 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.

Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the TW100- BRV204 .
