Troubleshooting

* For problems related to communication, refer also to the owner’s manual of your wireless LAN access point.

* For details on operating your wireless LAN access point, refer to its owner’s manual.

Problem Action

• Make sure that your wireless LAN access point supports WPS. If your wireless LAN access point does not support WPS, you can connect using the procedure described in “Connecting to a Wireless LAN Access Point That You Select (SELECT ACCESS POINT)” (p. 2).

• The 802.11a/b wireless standard is not supported. Please use the 802.11g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless standard.

• The WEP authentication method is not supported. Please use the WPA or WPA2 authentication method.

Can’t connect to a wireless LAN access point

The TD-15/TD-11 indicates “Could not make the wireless connection.”

The display indicates “This Access Point is not supported,” and can’t connect to the wireless LAN access point

Communication is unstable

The TD-15/TD-11 is not found in the instrument connections of the app (such as the iPhone app V-Drums Friend Jam for iPhone)

Your iPhone or iPod touch won’t connect to the Internet

The TD-15/TD-11 indicates “When streaming wirelessly, songs can not play back.”

The changes of Ad-Hoc or Wireless ID settings does not became eective.

• Make sure that DHCP is enabled for your wireless LAN access point.

• If you don’t get connected to the previously-connected wireless LAN access point when you turn on the unit, check and make sure the setting described in “Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode (Ad-Hoc Mode)” (p. 3) is OFF.

• The connection might not occur successfully due to the state of the radio signal. If so, use the procedure described in “Connecting to a Wireless LAN Access Point That You Select (SELECT ACCESS POINT)” (p. 2), and select your wireless LAN access point and reconnect.

• There is a limit to the connection data that can be remembered. Making a new connection may cause older connection data to be deleted. All connection data will be deleted if you execute a factory reset. If the connection data has been deleted, please re-connect to the wireless LAN access point.

• Connection data is not included in a backup saved in the USB ash drive, please re-connect to the wireless LAN access point.

• This Access Point is not supported. Please use the WPA or WPA2 authentication method.

Communication may be unstable depending on the usage of the radio frequency spectrum.

If communication is unstable, the response may be sluggish, or if using audio communication, there may be dropouts in the audio.

The following actions may improve the situation.

• Move the wireless LAN access point and the TD-15/TD-11 closer to each other.

• Change the channel setting of the wireless LAN access point.

• Is the TD-15/TD-11 powered up?

• Is the wireless USB adapter (WNA1100-RL) inserted to the TD-15/TD-11?

• Is the TD-15/TD-11 connected to the wireless LAN?

• Are the TD-15/TD-11 and the iPhone connected to the same network (the same wireless LAN access point)?

• Is the wireless LAN access point set to allow communication between wireless LAN devices? For details on settings, refer to the owner’s manual of your wireless LAN access point.

• Is the wireless LAN access point connected to the Internet?

• Could you be connected in Ad-Hoc mode? The iPod touch or other wireless device connected in Ad-Hoc mode will be unable to communicate with the Internet or with another wireless device. However, an iPhone or other wireless device that has cellular capability will be able to connect to the Internet via the cellular connection. Please be aware that if you use a cellular connection for Internet connectivity, you may incur costs depending on your rate plan. A wireless device such as an iPod touch that does not have cellular capability will become unable to connect to the Internet in this case.

• When using the wireless LAN audio functionality, it is not possible to play back songs at the same time.

• These settings will take eect after you’ve turned the unit o, then back on again.

Concerning the limitations on the USB audio/MIDI functionality and the wireless LAN functionality

When the USB COMPUTER port of the TD-15/TD-11 is connected via USB to your computer, it is not possible to use wireless LAN functionality at the same time as the USB audio/MIDI functionality.

• When the TD-15/TD-11 and your computer are connected via USB, it is possible to establish a wireless connection using the specied method; however, you won’t be able to carry out audio or MIDI communications with the wirelessly connected application. You must disconnect the USB connection between the TD-15/TD-11 and your computer before using the wireless LAN functionality.

• Although you can specify the “TD-15” or “TD-11” (USB) as the output destination for your personal computer’s audio and MIDI data even when you’re using a wirelessly connected application, no audio or MIDI data will be input or output using the TD-15/TD-11’s USB connection. You must disconnect the wireless connection between the TD-15/TD-11 and a wirelessly connected application before using the USB audio/MIDI functionality.
