5 Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	CORRECTIVE ACTION
None of the LEDs turn on when you turn on the Prestige.	Make sure that you have the correct power adapter connected to the Prestige and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Check all cable connections. If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.
Cannot access the Prestige from the LAN.	Check the cable connection between the Prestige and your computer or hub. Refer to the Rear Panel section for details. Ping the Prestige from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly.
Cannot ping any computer on the LAN.	If the 10/100M LAN LEDs are off, check the cable connections between the Prestige and your LAN computers. Verify that the IP address and subnet mask of the Prestige and the LAN computers are in the same IP address range.
Cannot get a WAN IP address from the ISP.	The WAN IP is provided after the ISP verifies the MAC address, host name or user ID. Find out the verification method used by your ISP and configure the corresponding fields.
	If the ISP checks the WAN MAC address, you should clone the MAC address from a LAN computer. Click WAN and then the MAC tab, select Spoof this Computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC address you are cloning.
	If the ISP checks the host name, enter your computer's name (refer to the Wizard Setup section in the User's Guide) in the System Name field in the first screen of the WIZARD.
	If the ISP checks the user ID, click WAN and then the ISP tab. Check your service type, user name, and password.
Cannot access the Internet.	Check the Prestige's connection to the cable/DSL device. Check whether your cable/DSL device requires a crossover or straight-through cable.
	Click WAN to verify your settings.
