Power

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.

Figure 2-5 Setup of LAN connections for 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

of the DI-704 is 192.168.123.254, and the default

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:

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

A communication link between your computer and the DI-704 has been successfully

established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:

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.
