MA401 Wireless Connection Indicators

The MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card provides the following two indicators
which give you feedback on the status of your wireless connection:
• The green LED on the MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card indicates the
wireless link condition of the MA401 Wireless PC Card with another wireless
node or associated access point.
• The SysTray icon is on the System Tray portion of the taskbar in the
Microsoft Windows desktop. The color of this icon indicates the status of the
wireless connection.

Interpreting the LED on the MA401

• If the LED is on, the card is plugged in to the notebook PC.
• If the LED is on and is a steady green, the MA401 has a connection with an
access point or another 802.11b device.
• If the LED is blinking, the MA401 is trying to establish a connection but is
unable to do so.
If the LED is blinking, check the following:
• If your Wireless Radio setting in the SysTray popup menu is turned off
• If your configuration matches the wireless network settings
• Try moving to a different location where the wireless signal quality is
better
