Frequently Asked Questions
When entering the IP Address of the DI-624S
(192.168.0.1), you are not connecting to 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.
To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.
Step 1
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.
The following connections require a Crossover Cable:
Computer to Computer
Computer to Uplink Port
Computer to Access Point
Computer to Print Server
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Rule of Thumb:
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)
What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through cable?
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two types of cable
have different purposes for different LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B define the
wiring standards and allow for two different
wiring color codes as illustrated in the following
diagram.
*The wires with colored backgrounds may have
white stripes and may be denoted that way in
diagrams found elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from a
crossover cable:
The main way to tell the difference between the
two cable types is to compare the wiring order
on the ends of the cable. If the wiring is the
same on both sides, it is straight-through cable.
If one side has opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of the two
cable ends and the following rules:
A straight-through cable has identical ends
A crossover cable has different ends
It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through cable
ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable with either
standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no functional difference
which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is important. Using a pattern
other than what is specified in the above diagram could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:
Computer to Computer – Crossover
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through
