- Does the PRICOM C-6400W turn on?
- Is the USB cable connected correctly?
[Infrastructure Mode]
- Are the SSID, Channel and WEP key correct ?
- Are the network cables for your PC and access point connected correctly?
- Are network cables for your PC and access point damaged ?
- Are the Link LED's for your PC and access point lighting ?
- Is the Ethernet HUB working correctly?
- If you can use the TCP/IP protocol, use the ping command to verify the proper response from the IP address assigned to the PRICOM C-6400W. If the PRICOM C-6400W does not respond, it is possible the IP address is incorrect. Restore factory defaults in the PRICOM C-6400W and configure the IP address again.
Example) Execute the ping on MS-DOS of Windows 98 To execute the ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX command click Start - Program - MS-DOS

Other functions

This chapter explains other functions about the PRICOM C-6400W. A web browser or TELNET is required for configuration.
- For further details on how to use the PRICOM C-6400W Web browser, TELNET or the procedure to change the PRICOM C-6400W configuration, refer to "Connect to the PRICOM C-6400W from a Web browser" or "TELNET" in this section.

IP filtering

The PRICOM can define scopes of IP addresses to allow or deny communication. When setting up for "DENY", communications from the designated IP address scope will be prohibited. When setting up "ALLOW", communication will be allowed only from the designated IP addresses. Up to 4 IP address scopes can be registered for the DENY/ALLOW functions. IP filtering can protect illegal access from unexpected network client users.
(Example)
To allow access from the IP address scope between 192.168.20.1-192.168.20.50 using a web browser;
1. Log in to the PRICOM via a web browser, then go to the "TCP/IP" tab.
2. Enter the necessary parameters at "IP filter Configuration" in the "TCP/IP" item. For this case, enable "ALLOW" at the Filter Mode, then enter
192.168.20.1 and 192.168.20.50 for both "Start Address" and "End Address" area respectively.
