content.
● Confirm a network link is established.
● Check whether the IP address, default gateway address, and DNS address
of the Media Server are correctly configured, when a static IP address is
used.
● Check if the Windows firewall setting is set accordingly.
PROBLEM: THE WAP-8600 IS UNABLE TO CONNECT TO NETWORK
Wired:
● Check the switch, hub, or router is turned on.
● Check the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAP-8600 and the switch,
hub, or router.
● If Static (fixed IP address) is selected, check the IP address is not already
in use.
● Check the IP address and subnet mask are in the same range, if you are
using a static IP address.
● If Static (fixed IP address) is selected, check the Default GW IP address is
properly assigned.

configured.
PROBLEM: WINDOWS SECURITY ALERT IS DISPLAYED AT STARTUP.

may block the Media Server program from accepting connections from the
Internet or the network when you start the program in an attempt to protect
your computer from possible malicious code or virus attacks. When you see
the security alert message: Click Unblock to continue and run the program.
