Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1350.

Read

the following descriptions if you are having problems.

(The examples below are illustrated in Windows

®

XP.

If you have

a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a

website on 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.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

- Microsoft Internet Explorer

®

6.0 and higher

- Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and higher

- Google

™

Chrome 2.0 and higher

- Apple Safari 3.0 and higher

• 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.

• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,

Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows

®

XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the

help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
