Radio Problems 167
E-EQ-MX3RG-J-ARC MX3 Reference Guide
Radio Problems
Problem: The radio is on, configured properly and still won’t transmit or receive data.
Solution Make sure the sending system is not busy or off-line.
The 2.4GHz Radios
Problem: The Proxim 2.4GHz radio won’t receive or transmit properly.
Solution: Check the settings in the NET.CFG or SOCKETS.CFG files (i.e.
communications parameters: station type, Domain, etc.) Refer to Chapter 6, “RF
Network Configuration” for information on how to modify these settings.
Problem: The Lucent 2.4GHz radio won’t connect to the network even though everything
else seems to be working properly.
Solution: Check WaveLAN/IEEE Advanced Setup configuration for the Access Point and
to see if you have configured the wireless network as a “Closed System”. If this
is the case then the WaveLAN Network Name on the station must match what is
configured in the Access Point.
- or -
The string for WaveLAN_Network_Name is case-sensitive. The WaveLAN
DOS ODI driver requires the use of only UPPER-CASE characters. If you have
configured the Access Points with lower-case names you will need to change
your Access Point WaveLAN_Network_Name parameter to UPPER-CASE
characters for proper operation.
The 900MHz Radios
Problem: The 900MHz radio won’t receive or transmit properly.
Solution: Refer to the appropriate Terminal Emulation Reference Guide for information
on how to modify RF parameters for the 900MHz PCMCIA radio.
