AV UPnP media server is the UPnP-server that provides media library information and streams media-data (like audio/video/picture/files) to UPnP-clients on the network. It is a computer system or a similar digital appliance that stores digital media, such as photographs, movies, or music and shares these with other devices. User can plug in

USB disk to product USB port and use AV UPnP client to play USB disk media-data

(like audio/video/picture/files)

5.10.8 Route Setup

Dynamic routing is a distance-vector routing protoc ol, which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15

Static routing is a data communication concept describing one way of configuring path selection of rout ers in computer networks. It is the type of routing characterized by the absence of communication between rout ers regarding the current topology of the net work. This is achieved by manually adding routes to the router routing table. http://www.sapido.com.tw/

Chapter 6 Q & A

6.1 Installation

1. Q: Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network?

A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN.

Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub

(switch or computer).

2. Q: Why does the throughput seem slow?

A: To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter. If you have to do so, we advise you to purchase a bridge to place it in the middle of the route in order to keep the quality of transmitting signal. Out of this condition you would better test something else.

Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.

Check to see that the network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages per second.

Verify network topology and configuration.

6.2 LED

1. Why doesn’t GR297N power up?

A: Check if the output voltage is suitable, or check if the power supply is out of order.

2. The Internet browser still cannot find or connect to GR297N after verifying the IP address and LAN cable, the changes cannot be made, or password is lost.

A: In case GR297N is inaccessible; you can try to restore its factory default settings.

Please press the “Reset” button and keep it pressed for over 7 seconds and the light of STATUS will vanish. The LEDs will flash again when reset is successful.

3. Why does GR297N shut down unexpectedly?

A: Re-plug your power adapter. Then, check the STATUS indicator; if it is off, the internal flash memory is damaged. For more help, please contact with your provider.

6.6 Wireless LAN

1. Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?

A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go over some of more common ones.

For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's

Workgroup or Domain name.

When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you might have configured.

Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A

HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is going to be the key to a successful installation.

Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being received by the workstation.

Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams. http://www.sapido.com.tw/

98

User Manual v1. 0.0

2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.

A: Check the following:

Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure

Mode.)

The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match

“workgroup”.

Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for

WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled.

If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match.

If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected

Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been selected, or access will be blocked.

To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.

3. Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow.

A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with following:

Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access

Point.

Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.

Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy” devices should be shielded or relocated.

RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Access Point.

4. Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.

http://www.sapido.com.tw/

99

User Manual v1. 0.0

A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.

Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function.

This should work with almost every application, but:

It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.

Only one (1) PC can use this feature.

5. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.

A: Check the following:

The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.

Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.

If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.

If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP

Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the

Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In

Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

6. Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with SAPIDO

GR297N’s wireless interface.

A: The default WEP of WinXP is

Authentication Open System - WEP

, but the WEP of

SAPIDO GR297N is only for

Shared Key - WEP

, it caused both sides couldn’t communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to

, and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and

SAPIDO GR297N would be communicated.
