Refer to “4.2 Network Settings” in Chapter VI for details about network settings. 

 

 

Follow the sequence shown below to check network settings. 

Check network cable connections (cables and hub) 

↓ 

Check the set values (DS-L1 IP address and PC network settings) 

↓ 

Check the presence in a LAN (ping from the PC) 

↓ 

Check browser settings 

Check FTP settings 

connections 

<Checking types of cables> 

•  Check that the twisted pair cables for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX are 

used. 

•  If the DS-L1 is connected to a LAN via a hub, check that straight 

cables are used. 

•  If the DS-L1 is connected directly to a PC without going through a 

hub, check that crossed cables are used. 

<Checking hub connections> 

See the instruction manual supplied with the hub for details, and follow 
the description written in it. 

•  Do not connect the DS-L1 to the Uplink. Be aware that Uplink on some 

hubs is indicated as “MDI,” “≡,” “Uplink-1 ×,” “1-1 ×” or “8-8 ×.” Also, 
if a hub has cross and straight ports, caution must be exercised. 

• There is a limited number of useful ports on a hub. Be careful when 

connecting to an empty port, because doing so could exceed the limit. 

Checking the set values 

<Settings on the DS-L1> 

•  Make network settings in Network Settings of the DS-L1 SETUP menu 

(e.g., Enable Network or IP Address). 

•  Always be sure to make gateway settings if data communication 

between different network groups is to be performed (e.g., sending or 
receiving data to and from a distant place of business). 

<Settings on a PC> 

•  When connecting from a PC that is not connected to a LAN, check the 

network settings on the PC first. 

•  Set the IP address and other information specific to the PC.
