•

Check that the

Quadra

is connected to the network using

a standard Ethernet cable.

Check that you are using the correct IP address.

•

If you are unable to connect and are sure that IP address is
correct, check the Subnet mask and make sure that it is
suited to your network configuration.

•

If you believe the IP address and Subnet mask are correct
but you still cannot connect, check that this is not a
duplicate IP address. Use the IP “ping” command from
the Windows

®

command window, and see if there is a

response. If there is a response, turn off

Quadra

and ping

the IP address again. If there is still a response, a duplicate
address exists.

Check that you are using the correct IP address.

•

If you are unable to connect and are sure that the IP
address is correct, check the IP settings of your PC. Many
PCs are set to work with a DHCP server which is not
present when connecting directly to

Quadra.

•

If you believe that

Quadra

’s IP address is correct and

your PC has a valid IP address, but you still cannot
connect, check that this is not a duplicate IP address. Use
the IP “ping” command from the Windows command
window, and see if there is a response. If there is a
response, turn off

Quadra

and ping the IP address again.

If there is still a response, your PC has been set with the
same address as the

Quadra
