8.  Resetting the DI-624 to Factory Default Settings
After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may
choose to Reset the DI-624 to the factory default settings.  Remember that D-
Link AirPro products network together, out of the box, at the factory default
settings.
To hard-reset the DI-624 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following:

Frequently Asked Questions
When entering the IP Address of the DI-624  (192.168.0.1), you are not connecting to
the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in
to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to
connect to the web-based utility.
To resolve difficulties accessing a  web utility, please follow the steps below.
Step 1
      
 Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If
you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different
port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be
on.
The following connections require a Crossover Cable:
Computer to Computer
Computer to Uplink Port
Computer to Access Point
Computer to Print Server
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Rule of Thumb:
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)
What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through
cable?
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two types
of cable have different purposes for different
LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B
define the wiring standards and allow for
two different wiring color codes as
illustrated in the following diagram.
*The wires with colored backgrounds may
have white stripes and may be denoted
that way in diagrams found elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from
a crossover cable:
The main way to tell the difference
between the two cable types is to compare
the wiring order on the ends of the cable. If
the wiring is the same on both sides, it is
straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of
the two cable ends and the following rules:
A straight-through cable has identical ends
A crossover cable has different ends
It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through
cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable
with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no
functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is
important. Using a pattern other than what is specified in the above diagram
could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:
Computer to Computer – Crossover
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through

Step 3 Configure your Internet settings. Step 2  Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software
firewalls like Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, etc. might
block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your
firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
