Diagnostic Cable Tester is an advanced feature that integrates a LAN cable tester on

Tester can be used to remotely diagnose and report cable faults such as opens,

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and 
operation of the DI-614+ Wireless Access Point.  We cover various aspects of the 
network setup, including the network adapters.  Please read the following if you are 
having problems. 
(Note:  It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DI-614+ 
Access Point.)
1.  The computer used to configure the DI-614+ cannot access the 
Configuration menu.
 Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-614+ is ON.  If the LED is not 
ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely 
inserted.
 Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly.  Please see 
item 6 (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed 
properly) in this Troubleshooting section to check that the drivers are 
loaded properly.
 Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the 
DI-614+.  Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the 
Networking Basics section of this manual.
Note:  The IP Address of the DI-614+ is 192.168.0.1.  All the computers on the network 
must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. and a Subnet Mask 
of 255.255.255.0. Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the 
network.
 Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-614+ is responding.  Go to 
Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1.  A successful ping 
will show four replies.
