Problem Determination
4
Problems in a WaveLAN network can be related to:
●
Component failure (of card or antenna).
●
Environment and operation.
Component Failure
4
Component failure is normally detected by a startup
diagnostics routine built into programs which use the
WaveLAN card.
Environment and Operation
4
Environment and operation-related problems can be
caused by one or more of the following:
●
Placing the computer in a "noisy" area.
●
Path defects (antenna connection, barriers, distance).
●
Competition from adjacent networks.
●
Network loading.
The Point-to-Point
Diagnostics Utilities
4
The Point-to-Point Diagnostic utility allows you to verify
the communications path between two stations. You can
use it to measure local noise and to find the best antenna
position.
Installing and using Point-to-Point Diagnostics is
described in Chapter 5, “The Point-to-Point Diagnostics
Utility”.
