Network Connections The following sections provide recommendations for how to troubleshoot network connections. Ethernet LAN Connection The Digital Entertainer HD expects to be connected to a hub, switch, or router using a standard Ethernet cable. If you connect to your network using Ethernet, the link LEDs on the back of your Digital Entertainer HD and on your hub or router should both be on. If they are not lit, try the following: • Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation. • Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation. • Make sure you are using a standard Ethernet cable and not a cross- connect cable. Troubleshooting a Wireless Network Connection If you did not connect an Ethernet (LAN) cable, the Digital Entertainer HD scans for wireless networks. If it does not find your network, check the following items: • The Digital Entertainer HD cannot connect to the wireless network while it is connected to the Ethernet network. Disconnect your Ethernet cable. • Move the Digital Entertainer HD closer to the wireless access point or router. See "Wireless Range and Interference" on page 7-11. • If there is more than one network in your area, then you must know the network name. The network name is also called the service set identifier (SSID). • If your access point or router does not broadcast its SSID, then it is a hidden network, and the Digital Entertainer HD cannot detect it. - The SSID, and passwords keys are case-sensitive. For example, NETGEAR is not the same as Netgear. 7-10
