Appendix A: Troubleshooting
This section answers some Frequently Asked Questions (
FAQ
). These
are the answers for the most common problems encountered. If your
problem persists, contact with our Technical Support Department.
Q1:
Media-Link Device is not connecting to Media-Link Software
Answer:
Your Media-Link device can be connected to Media-Link
Server PC via a home network using either a wired or wireless
configuration. Firstly, go into the IP Configuration setup page :
Press the Setup button on your Remote Control. Select IP Config using
the Navigational buttons on your remote control, press Enter. Make
sure that automatic configuration is selected if you have a DHCP server
available in your home network. If not, please manually key-in the
configuration according to your network environment settings.
Q2:
Media-Link Device still not connecting to Media-Link
Software although the network settings are configured properly
Answer:
If you have a wired network configuration make sure that
the LAN cable is firmly plugged into both your Media-Link device
and the switch/hub you are using.
Q3:
Media-Link Device is not connecting to the internet
Answer:
Your Media-Link Device may be connected to the internet
via your home network if you have a DSL or Broadband Internet
connection. Make sure that the following connections are active and
working:
1. Your Media-Link's connection to your home network.
2. Your home network's connection to the internet
If your Media-Link device is having trouble connecting to the
internet, please check the following :

SECTION THREE: Appendix
Check the internet link is available
Using your PC, try to navigate the Internet by accessing
any website. If you have problems, you need to verify if
your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is working correctly or not.
If you are using Dial Up Service connection
Ensure that the dial-up modem is connected to the phone line
and that internet activity is available by first surfing the net through
via your browser.
Using broadband
If you have a broadband internet connection, try connecting to
any website that always have reliable access. Also ensure that
the broadband internet connection is always connected.

Q4: Media-Link is not connecting to my home network
Answer:
Any of the following may help you troubleshoot the
problem. You may not need to follow every step of the following,
just follow the ones that most fit to the symptom you are facing.
Check network adapter
For wireless networking, the network adapter connected may
not be supported. If the network adapter you are using is
compatible and functioning properly, check for the MAC address
by going to the IP Configuration setup page. Make sure that the
MAC address, which is a 6 field with 2 digit number, is di
played. If you do not see a value, then the network adapter is
not recognized by Media-Link or the network adapter is not
working properly. Further steps would be to check on your base
station you are using. Ensure that there is LAN connectivity and
activity. For wired networking, the network cable could be
defective. Upon plugging in the network cable to the Media-Link
device, you should see the LINK/ACT LED light ON (in front of
the Media-Link device). If you have another cable available, try
swapping it.
10
Check connection to the network adapter
Unplugged either the WIFI network adapter or your LAN cable
and plug it back in again. Make sure the card or cable is plugged
all the way in. Once if it is connected correctly, you will be able to
see the LED turn ON in the LINK/ACT indicator.
Restart Media-Link
The network settings may not be complete during the initial star
up of your Media-Link device. Please reboot your system by
pressing the "Power" button on your remote control.
Check physical connection and activity
Ensure that all network equipment is receiving power and that all
cable connections for routers, hub, access points and computers
in your home network are working. Verify the "LINK/ACT" light is
lit on all the devices connected to the network.
Power-Cycle Network Devices
If you have a wireless access point or a router, please reset it by
turning off the power and turning it back on. Wait for a few
minutes to allow these devices to complete it's startup. And retry
your home network connection again.
Check your network settings
Verify that your Network Settings are correct. Complete the TCP
IP settings on your DHCP server, if one is available. Else, ensure
that the manually input IP address is correct to the corresponding
server.
Checking static IP address
If you have assigned a static IP address for you Media-Link, make
sure that the IP address is unique in your network and within the
same network Class specifications.Which is to confirm the first 3
sets of the IP address in Media-Link are same as the other
devices connected to your home network. For example, if your
computer's IP address starts with "192.168.0", then your Media
Link IP address should be set to "192.168.0". Further static IP
address settings are available in Page 6.
Q5: Media-Link is not connecting to my Wireless Network
Answer: Checking the power on your access point
Make sure that the wireless access point or wireless router in
your home network is receiving power and that the "LINK/
ACT" light is ON.
11
Check access point settings
Maybe the channel settings and the encryption format doesn't
tally with the ones set on your access point. You can follow
the instructions on these setups in
Wifi Setup Page, Page 7
.
Check for 802.11g compliant in your access point
Media-Link uses the 802.11g wireless network standard and is
currently not compatible with other wireless network standard
such as 802.11a.
Check signal strength.
The following steps may be able to help improve the signal
strength: Make sure the wireless adapter is placed well away
from any power supply, power line or surge protectors. Any of
these items may cause interference and reduces the signal
strength. Some household appliances (e.g. cordless phone,
microwave, etc.) may also reduce the signal strength.
Make sure that the access point's antenna is fully extended.
Move the access point to higher position or give a better line
of site to your wireless network adapter.
Reduce the distance between your wireless adapter card
and access point. Wireless networks typically have a range
of 100 to 300 feet. This distance may vary depending on any
physical blockage found (i.e. wall, partitions, etc.).
Consider adding signal booster to your network (available
from some wireless equipment manufacturers)
Check network name
In the WIFI settings in your Media-Link, ensure that the network
name (SSID) is listed correctly. For further details on the WIFI
settings, please refer to Wifi Setup Page, Page 7.
