Troubleshooting
Common Situations
If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing these cards in your Access
Point, the error may be related to various causes:
■ The cards are not firmly inserted into the card slot.
■ Client is out of range (too far away from the access point). This
prevents the cards from establishing a wireless connection with the
client.
■ Configuration mismatch, which prevents clients from establishing a
wireless connection with the access point.
The configurations for the AP and the client may be different in some
way, perhaps due to the wrong kind of radio or an improper setting in
the configuration for one of the two devices.
Most configuration problems can be fixed by changing the settings for the
520wl Access Point using the browser-based interface. Configuration prob-
lems may include:
■
SSID (Service Set Identification) misspelled
■
IP Configuration (Static IP is incorrect). If you did not use auto
configuration by DHCP server, then check configuration parameters
to ensure they are correct.
■
VLAN (May exclude your Access Point)
■
Password Settings
■ Management Services Settings (SNMP, Telnet, CLI, and HTTP)
■ Intra-BSS Traffic Operation set to Block
■ Security Settings (WEP Encryption Keys, 802.1 x , MAC Access)
