Troubleshooting - MikroTik RouterOS v2.9 Reference Manual

Example
[admin@MikroTik] > interface print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME
0 R outer
1 X arlan1
[admin@MikroTik] interface> enable 1
[admin@MikroTik] > interface print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME
0 R outer
1 R arlan1
More configuration and statistics parameters can be found under the /interface arlan menu:
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="arlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:40:96:22:90:C8 arp=enabled
frequency=2412 bitrate=2000 tma-mode=no card-name="test"
sid=0x13816788
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan>
You can monitor the status of the wireless interface:
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan> monitor 0
registered: no
access-point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
backbone: 00:00:00:00:00:00
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan>
Suppose we want to configure the wireless interface to accomplish registration on the AP with a sid
0x03816788. To do this, it is enough to change the argument value of sid to 0x03816788 and
tma-mode to yes:
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan> set 0 sid=0x03816788 tma-mode=yes
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan> monitor 0
registered: yes
access-point: 00:40:88:23:91:F8
backbone: 00:40:88:23:91:F9
[admin@MikroTik] interface arlan>

Troubleshooting

Description
Keep in mind, that not all combinations of I/O base addresses and IRQs may work on particular
motherboard. It is recommended that you choose an IRQ not used in your system, and then try to
find an acceptable I/O base address setting. As it has been observed, the IRQ 5 and I/O 0x300 or
0x180 will work in most cases.
• The driver cannot be loaded because other device uses the requested IRQ.
Try to set different IRQ using the DIP switches.
• The requested I/O base address cannot be used on your motherboard.
Try to change the I/O base address using the DIP switches.
• The pc interface does not show up under the interfaces list
