Problem Recommended Action The digital entertainer does not respond to the remote control. Check the LED on the front panel of the digital entertainer to make sure the power is on. Make sure the television is turned on. The LED on the remote control should flash when you push a button. • If the LED does not flash, and the batteries are working, then the remote may be faulty. • If the LED does flash, reset the digital entertainer. The digital entertainer does not find my network. • For wireless networks, make sure that the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security settings of the digital entertainer and media server match exactly. • Restart the media server software, then power cycle the media player. The digital entertainer does not find the server. • Make sure your computer is running the media server software. • If you do not use DHCP on your network, you must set the IP address of the digital entertainer in the range of addresses on your network. See IP Address on page 4-4. Windows Media Connect Firewall Conflict If you are using Windows Media Connect and the built-in Windows firewall, the firewall automatically opens the ports needed to communicate with the digital entertainer. For other firewalls, you might need to open the following ports: Protocol Ports Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) 2869, 10243 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 1900, 10280, 10281, 10282, 10283, 10284 4-2 Troubleshooting v1.0, April 2006 Digital Entertainer Model EVA700 User Manual For security reasons it is better to open the ports only for your private and auto IP addresses. For more information, see the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com. Physical Connectivity Ethernet Link The digital entertainer uses Auto Uplink technology (also called Auto MDI/MDIX). It automatically senses the polarity of the Ethernet connection. You can use either a standard or crossover Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port of your digital entertainer will automatically configure itself properly. If connecting to your network using Ethernet, the link LED on the back of your digital entertainer and on your hub or router should both be on. If not, 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. Wireless Link Please be aware that wireless data rate and throughput decreases as the distance increases between the Access Point (AP) and the digital entertainer. If you are unable to detect any wireless networks, try the following: • Your wireless AP (access point) may be too far from the digital entertainer. It may be necessary to move either the AP or the digital entertainer so that they are closer together. • If you are using a wireless connection between the AP (or wireless router) and the computer that serves the media content, you might also need to move the computer and the AP closer together. • If your access point is configured to disable broadcast of SSID, the digital entertainer will not be able to detect it. You must manually configure your wireless settings as described in “WiFi Setup” on page 3-5. • The digital entertainer cannot connect to the wireless network while it is connected to the Ethernet network. Disconnect your Ethernet cable. Troubleshooting 4-3 v1.0, April 2006 Digital Entertainer Model EVA700 User Manual For detailed information about wireless networks, see the link to this topic listed in “Wireless Communications:” in Appendix B. IP Address If the digital entertainer does not receive a valid IP address, try the following: • Verify that a working DHCP server is on your network. PCs on the network should get IP addresses in the correct range. If the digital entertainer is set to use DHCP and fails to obtain an IP Address from the server, it will resort to an auto IP Address in the range of 169.254.x.x. You can use a Static IP Address if there is a problem connecting to the server. • If you are using a wireless network, verify that the digital entertainer is associated with the correct SSID. The SSID that is being used can be displayed by following instructions in “WiFi Setup” on page 3-5. • If you are using a wireless network, verify that the WEP settings on the digital entertainer match the settings on your access point. This must match the setting on your access point. For information about WEP, see the link listed in “Wireless Communications:” on page B-1. • If the digital entertainer is set to use DHCP and fails to obtain an IP Address from the server, it will resort to an auto IP Address in the range of 169.254.x.x. You can use a static IP address if there is a problem connecting the digital entertainer to the server. • If the network connection fails, the digital entertainer will time out. Reboot the unit. Connecting to a Server If the digital entertainer cannot find the correct server, try the following: • Verify that the Media Server software was installed on your PC. 4-4 Troubleshooting v1.0, April 2006 Digital Entertainer Model EVA700 User Manual • Verify that the digital entertainer and the PC running the Media Server software are on the same subnet and that they can communicate with each other. In most cases, this means that the first three fields of the two IP address should be the same. Communication can be verified using the Windows Ping utility. Using Ping To use ping, follow the steps below: 1. From the Windows toolbar, click on the Start button and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the EVA700. Displaying the IP address is described in “IP Config” on page 3-4. ping 192.168.0.2 3. Click OK. You should see a message like this one: pingingwith 32 bytes of data If the path is working, you see this message: reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx If the path is not working, you see this message: request timed out 4. If you cannot ping the media player, then your network may not be working correctly. Playing Media If the digital entertainer cannot play media or music, try the following: • Check to see if the file is protected. Windows Media Connect is required for Windows XP users to play protected files. See the Microsoft documentation for these products. • Verify that the file is not corrupt by double-clicking it in the Media Files tab on the Media Server.
