TROUBLESHOOTING

This section will help you locate problems related to setup. The most common
installation problems relate to IP Addressing.
IP Address management is fundamental. It is suggested that you create a chart to
document and validate the IP addresses for your WLAN bridges.
If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the Wireless Bridge to
default values. The Reset Default procedure resets configuration settings, but
does not change the current wireless bridge Image. The Upgrade procedure
erases the current wireless bridge image if you need to upgrade to a new image.
Use this procedure to reset the network configuration values, including the wireless
bridge IP Address, Subnet Mask, and so on. The current wireless bridge Image is
not deleted. This procedure may be required if the device password is forgotten.
1. Press and hold the RESET button for at least 5 seconds. Result: The wireless
bridge reboots, and the factory default network values are restored.
NOTE: on the outdoor bridge, the RESET button is located on the PCB, behind
the removable panel. Once the panel is removed, the reset button is located
next to the CAT5 connection on the PCB
2. After it starts up, use 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (WIDMAN)
to discover the wireless bridge.
Use the following procedure to set an IP Address for your wireless bridge.
The network administrator typically provides the IP Address.
Microsoft Windows OS, with 20M free disk space and at least 64M Memory.
An Ethernet LAN interface card.
1. Power on the wireless bridge and your computer. By default, the wireless
bridge will work as DHCP client to get it's IP address.
NOTE: The B2B Bridge may take up to 60 seconds to boot after power is
applied. The bridge will not appear in WIDMAN until it is done booting.
2. Install the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (WIDMAN) from the
CD attached with the wireless bridge on your computer.
3. Start up the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (WIDMAN).
4. It will discover your wireless bridge and list it on the list box.
