Connect the DA100 and PC through a hub, independent from the network, as described in “Con-
necting only the DA100 and PC” (page 4-8) and test the connection status again.
If the result is normal: The problem is with the network. Consult your network administrator.
If the result is abnormal: The DA100 must be repaired.
