Chapter 5 -Troubleshooting
Problem
My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the SpaceLink Access Point.
Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of
range of the SpaceLink Access Point.
2. Confirm that the SpaceLink Access Point and PC Card have the same
SSID.
3. Confirm that the SpaceLink Access Point and PC Card have the same
Encryption settings, if enabled.
4. Confirm that the SpaceLink Access Point's Air and Link LEDs are solid
green.
5. Confirm that the authorization table includes the MAC address of the
SpaceLink PC card if "Authorization Table" is enabled.
6. Confirm that the operational mode is "Access Point" mode.
7. Confirm that the SpaceLink Access Point and SpaceLink PC card have
the same preamble mode.
Problem
The throughput seems slow.
Solution
To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed,
not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If
you move the client closer to the SpaceLink Access Point and throughput
increases, you may want to consider adding a second SpaceLink Access
Point and implementing roaming.
•
Check antenna, connectors and cabling.
•
Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
•
Check to see that the wired network does not exceed 10 broadcast
messages per second.
•
Verify wired network topology and configuration.
