Troubleshooting You are Unable to Connect or Establish a Session with the DPG-2000W If you see the window below while trying to establish a session with DPG-2000W(s): Verify the SSID of the wireless adapter matches the SSID of the DPG-2000W displayed on the banner page on boot up. Ensure the computer’s wireless network adapter is set for Infrastructure mode. If the DPG-2000W’s encryption settings were modified, verify that the computer is using the same encryption settings.
Troubleshooting (Continued) With certain brands of 802.11g cards, it might take a bit longer to link with the DPG-2000W than with other brands of wireless cards. The reason for this is that the drivers and features set of each brand might cause the link up time between the DPG-2000W and the computer to take longer. Retry establishing a session with the DPG-2000W using the PSM. For more troubleshooting information, please refer to the Technical Manual on the CD-ROM.
Troubleshooting (Continued) Right-click on Network Connections and select Properties. Right-click on Local Area Connection. Double-click on Properties.
Troubleshooting (Continued) Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties. Input your IP Address and subnet mask. (The IP Addresses on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP Address of 192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP Addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.) Input your DNS server addresses.
Troubleshooting (Continued) The Presentation Screen Appears Frozen During a Presentation This indicates that the DPG-2000W has detected a link-loss. The DPG-2000W and DPG-2000W PSM have an intelligent built-in mechanism to detect the link-loss and can automatically restore the connection. When a link-loss has been detected, DPG-2000W PSM will display a message box and attempt to automatically restore the connection. If the auto-reconnection attempt is successful, the user does not need to do anything.
Troubleshooting (Continued) 2) If the current presenter failed to resume presentation by clicking “Establish a Session”, another presenter should try to “Establish a Session.” If this new presenter can successfully start a presentation, the problem was localized on the previous presenter’s computer and/ or its wireless card. Address that problem after the meeting. 3) If a second presenter also fails to “Establish a Session” to the DPG-2000W, a persistent abnormal condition has to be identified.
Reset to Factory Defaults The hardware reset button is located at the back of the DPG-2000W. You can use a bent paper clip to access the hardware reset button. The main function of the hardware-reset button is to reboot the DPG-2000W. To reboot the DPG-2000W, only a light tap on the reset button is required.
