MX2A137REFGD Revision A MX2 Reference Guide
The MX2 seems to lock up for four or five seconds after it is
turned on.
Every time a MX2 is turned on, it must initialize the PC card. Wireless
LAN PC cards commonly take four or five seconds to initialize. After
the card is initialized, the unit should function normally.
The MX2 cannot communicate with a NetWare server.
The MX2 and the server may be using different frame types. Make sure
that the frame type in your NET.CFG file matches the server’s frame
type.
The MX2 cannot communicate with another machine on the
network.
The MX2 may not have the same domain and security ID as the other
machine.
The MX2 does not shut down properly when I remove the PC
card or take out the batteries.
Do not remove a PC card or the batteries while the MX2 is on or
immediately after turning it off. When you turn the unit off, it suspends
the RF driver, a process that can take one or two seconds. If you remove
the PC card or the batteries before the driver is suspended, the unit may
be left in an unstable state and may need to be reset.
The MX2 never turns itself off automatically, even when the
time-out value is correctly set.
The radio may be receiving broadcast messages from the access point.
See “Power Management at the RangeLAN2 Access Point,” for
information on filtering messages.
