ETHERNET TECHNOLOGY
Networking today has opened a whole new world in data communications. Networking is simply connecting individual computers in a
way so that they can share resources such as files, applications,
and peripherals connected to the Local Area network (LAN).
The most popular and cost efficent type of network is an “Ethernet”
network, which has created a large abundance of Ethernet prod-
ucts on the market today.
A Local Area Network is the most convenient way to share infor-
mation and resources. A LAN is a network that covers a “local”
area, like a floor or building. It let’s you easily transfer files
between PCs, share printers, and share a Cable or DSL modem
among several users.
The basic components of a network are: PC’s, Cables, Network
Interface Cards (NICs), Hubs or Switches, and Network Operating
Systems (NOS).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Computer Networking can be easy to install and maintain, giving the
user the ability to share and transfer files. Occasionally, network prob-
lems arise and the user is faced with having to troubleshoot the network problem. Taking the best approach to trouble shooting a network
problem is to start at the very simplest level and work your way up.
On the following pages we have covered common troubleshooting situations. Please read the following section. (Please see the disclaimer
on page 43).
UNDERSTANDING INDICATORS

Indicator Lights:
Power The power LED will light up when DHN-1000 is
powered up.
Ethernet Will light up when corresponding port is sending
data over the network.
HPNA Will light when HPNA to Ethernet is being bridged.
Activity Will light up when there is network activity.

Problem 1: The LEDs on my DHN-1000 are not lighting up.
Solutions
· l Make sure the DHN-1000 bridge is plugged into
a power strip.
· l Make sure that your HPNA network does not
exceed 1,000 feet. If your HPNA PC's are more
than 1,000 feet apart, your network performance
may be diminished, which may result in data
loss.
· l Make sure that your RJ-45 cable is properly
inserted into the DHN-1000's Ethernet port as
well as your Gateway or Switch.
Problem 2: My DHN-1000 is not working.
Solutions
· l Make sure the Cat5 cable from the Gateway to
the DHN-1000 is in good condition.
· l When connecting the bridge to your PC, Switch
or Gateway, make sure all your network
devices are powered down. Connect all cables
to your devices, then power on.
Problem 3: Cannot get connected to the LAN network
using only a 10/100Mb Ethernet NIC card and HPNA 2.0
PCI or USB adapters.
Solutions
l Make sure that your Cat5 cable is in good working
order.
l Check for proper configuration of your 10/100
and DHN-520 adapters in your Network
Neighborhood properties.
