INTRODUCTION 1
If you have previous knowledge of networking, you will most likely be best
served by the Quick Start Guide (page 6).
If you are new to networking and have no previous knowledge of the sub-
ject, please follow the step-by-step procedures for configuring, installing,
and accessing your 7700 Video Flex.
Please follow the entire walk-through without skipping any steps. The
walk-through was designed to teach the typical inexperienced user how
to configure their 7700 using the simplest techniques and terminology.
Some of these techniques or terms may actually be considered techni-
cally inaccurate, but should suit the needs of most users. Consult the
FAQ and Appendices for further information when required.
If, after following the walk-through and exhausting all literature, addi-
tional assistance is still required, please contact Ken-A-Vision for techni-
cal support.

My power switch is not lit.
Power is not being supplied to the unit. Verify the switch is pushed
in. Please use the power supply shipped with the unit and verify
that a power source is active from the attached power outlet used
to connect the adapter. You can test this by plugging in any other
electrical device and verify its operation. After using the power
supply shipped with the product, checking the power source, and
reinserting the power connector into the 7700, please contact
Ken-A-Vision for support. The power supply may be defective.
My 10M light is not flashing or solid.
Verify the cable connection. 99% of the time the cable's connec-
tion to the unit is causing this problem. Try using a different
network cable or crossover cable (for PC connection only). Try
reinserting the cable, if this still doesn't solve the problem, contact
Ken-A-Vision for support.
