Troubleshooting

Q1: I specified the IP address http://192.168.0.228 in my Internet browser's address bar, but an error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How can I get into the TEW-453APB's web configuration page?

A1: Please make sure that your workstation and the TEW-453APB are in the same network segment. Make sure you change your workstation's IP Address to 192.168.0.X where “X” is a number from 1 to 227 and 229 to 254. If your workstation and the TEW-453APB lie in the same network segment, then double- check the connection between the TEW-453APB and your switch, and make sure that the power adapters for your switch and the TEW-453APB are plugged in.

Q2: After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network settings, I cannot connect to my network using wireless computers.

A2: If you have a DHCP server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP settings again and re-select "Obtain an IP automatically" for Windows 98/ME and "Obtain an IP Address automatically" for Windows 2000/XP to allow the PC to regain an IP address from your DHCP server.

Q3. When I configure the network settings for the TEW-453APB, I don't have a Domain Name Server, but the TEW-453APB requires a DNS entry. What do I do?

A3: In this case, your DNS entry is the same as your Gateway's entry. So if your Gateway is 192.168.1.1, then your DNS is 192.168.1.1.

Q4. All the settings are set correctly, but I still can't use the Access Point, what

should I do?

A4: You can find additional information in the User's Guide. If you still have problems, contact our Technical Support by email or phone.
