• Resetting or re-powering the host with the ACR-201-G turned on may be
necessary in order for the ACR-201-G to "learn" the MAC address of the host
computer.

If the "Communication Strength" stays in the Poor range, check for the following
conditions:
• Make sure that radio interference is not present in the radio network.
• Make sure that the radio is not surrounded by many strongly reflecting
surfaces (such as metal, one-way glass, etc.). With multiple reflecting surfaces
between the radio in question and the target radio, a severe "multi-path"
problem may introduce high bit rate error despite strong signal strength.
• Reduce severe packet collision by either re-arranging the Stations in question
such that the RF signals are mutually receivable by all Stations, or turn-on the
RTS/CTS protocol by setting the "RTS threshold" on the "Config" tab to a
reasonably small value (500, for example). There is no guarantee that the
packet collision can be entirely eliminated by invoking RTS/CTS protocol, but
the severity can be reduced enough to see visible improvement of the link
quality.
