PCMCIA card and then on PCMCIA Card service, you can see the status of PCMCIA 
card. If there are yellow sign either on adapter or PCMCIA card, please check followings. 

ƒ

2-1) Check if your Notebook supports 3.3V card. 

ƒ

2-2)Check if your Notebook has a free  IRQ 

ƒ

2-3) Check that you have inserted the right card and have installed the proper driver. 

If the GL-241102 does not function after attempting the above steps, remove the PCMCIA adapter, 
and do the following: 

ƒ

From the run window enter, c:\windows\system, locate and delete the cw10.sys file  

ƒ

Open the “Control Panel” double-click “System” and delete PRISM2 IEEE 802.11b PC-
card Adapter.  

ƒ

Restart the PC and repeat the hardware and software installation steps outlined in 
Chapters 3 and 4. 

 

The GL-241102 station cannot communicate with other computers linked via Ethernet in the 
Infrastructure configuration.

 

Probable Solution: 

ƒ

Ensure that the GL-241102 with which the station is associated is powered on. 

ƒ

Confirm the station is configured with the same operating radio channel as the GL-241102. 
If the IDs are different, change the GL-241102 and all the stations within the BSS to 
another radio channel. 

ƒ

Ensure that the station is configured with the same security options as the GL-241102, and 
can be turned off and on with the same security key. 

ƒ

Confirm that the BSS ID is the same as the GL-241102 for a roaming disabled station. 
Alternately confirm that the ESS ID is the same as the GL-241102 for a roaming enabled 
station.
