Power inlet. This is where you connect the included power adapter.
Note that,
the included power adapter is DC 5V/1A. Using the wrong type of power
adapter may cause damage to the DI-704
.
2.2. Installation Requirements
The DI-704 can be positioned at any convenient place in your office or house. No special
wiring or cooling requirements is needed. However, you should comply with the following
guidelines to install:
l
Place the DI-704 on a flat horizontal surface.
l
Keep the DI-704 away from excessive heat.
l
Do not place the DI-704 in a dusty or wet environment.
The recommended operational specifications of DI-704 are:
Temperature
0
o
C
~
55
o
C
Humidity
5 %
~
90 %
In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep
your hands dry when you install the DI-704.
2.3. Procedure for Hardware Installation
1.
Setup LAN connection:
connect
an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port
to one of the LAN ports of the DI-704.

2.
Setup WAN connection:
prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the DI-704 to your
cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure 2-5 illustrates the WAN connection.
3.
Power on:
Connect the power cord to power inlet and turn the power switch on. The
DI-704 will automatically enter the self-test phase. When in the self-test phase, the
indicators M1 and M2 will be lighted ON for about 5 seconds, and then M1 and M2 will
flash three times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1 will
flash continuously once per second to indicate that the DI-704 is in normal operation.

Network Settings and Software Installation
To use the DI-704 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your
computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform
(Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000).
3.1 Make correct network settings to the computer
The default
IP
address
subnet mask
is
255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed to meet your need, but the default values are
used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been
configured, you can refer to
Appendix B
to configure it. For example,
1.
configure
IP
as 192.168.123.1,
subnet mask
as 255.255.255.0 and
gateway
as
192.168.123.254, or,
2.
configure your computers to load TCP/IP settings automatically, via the DHCP
server built into the DI-704.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the
ping
command to
check if your computer has successfully connected to the DI-704. The following example
shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the
ping
command
ping
192.168.123.254
If the following messages appear:
A communication link between your computer and the DI-704 has been successfully
established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,
Request timed out.

there must be something wrong with the installation.
Follow the steps again to make sure the
network settings are correct. You should check the following items in sequence:
1.
Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the DI-704 and your computer?
Tip
: The LAN LED of the DI-704 and the link LED of network card on your computer
must be lighted.
2.
Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip
: If the IP address of the DI-704 is
192.168.123.254, the IP address of your
computer must be 192.168.123.X and default gateway must be
192.168.123.254.
