●
Frequency band mismatch; 2.4 GHz WaveLAN cards
will not communicate with 915 MHz cards, nor will
2.4 GHz cards of different frequencies communicate
with each other.
●
Can’t find encryption key. If the network is using the
security feature, the Enabler is installed, and the
encryption key is present as a parameter in the
network configuration file, the utility needs to be
able to locate the network configuration file to access
the encryption key. The location of the network
configuration file is given by the WAVELAN.INI file
which must be present on the utilities diskette.
Chapter 3, “Installing the Software” describes how to
create a WAVELAN.INI file.
Selecting a Test
Partner

Use the Up- and Down-arrow keys with the Enter key to
select from the displayed list which remote station is to
participate in the diagnostic test. After the selection is
made the program executing at each participating station
begins to measure signal reception conditions. Based on
these measurements the utility displays an assessment of
the Link quality. Link quality can be “Good”,
“Acceptable” or “Poor”.
You can investigate the Link Quality in more detail by
pressing [Enter] or the Cursor key to display the
Measurement Data screen (Figure 5-2 on page 5-6).
