If it just doesn’t work...
1. Check that the Power LED on the
Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G
if it is
on, if
not:
•
Check the AC cord.
•
Make sure the AC outlet is working by plugging something else into it. If this
works, try another outlet. If this fails as well, try 2. – 4.
2. Check the Ethernet cables:
The
Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G
has a LEDs on the LAN part of the
Ethernet side labeled
LINK/ACT
. If it is not on:
•
Check if the device at the other end of the Ethernet cable is switched on.
•
Try a different Ethernet cable.
3. Check that the devices exist on the network:
Start the Setup Tool, click
Next
and see if all devices on your network are found. If all
devices are listed, skip this section. If a device is missing:
•
Make sure all computers have active current network slot.
•
Make sure the Corinex Powerline Adapters are plugged straight into the power
socket.
•
Unplug
all
Corinex
Powerline Adapters and plug them back in again, one by one.
Run the Setup Tool again.
•
The devices may be programmed with different passwords. Setup all devices with
a new password as described in the previous chapter.
4. Check that TCP/IP detects the
Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G
:
From the command prompt, run
ping
and type the computer name or IP address of the
computer you are working on [ping your computer name]. This should return 4 good
packets. Now try to ping another computer on the network. If a timeout occurs:
•
Go into the TCP/IP properties and check that the buttons for automatically
obtaining IP addresses and gateway are checked. If not, make sure that both
computers are on the same subnet.
•
Run
ipconfig /all
from the command prompt on all computers to verify that all
computers have valid IP addresses on the same subnet.
•
The IP tables may be corrupted, reboot all computers and try again. If these tests
work, you have basic connectivity and can use all network services. If this does
not work, you may have a faulty device. Please contact your reseller or local
distributor.
I have got all that, it still doesn’t work...
