Troubleshooting
Description
Keep in mind, that not all combinations of I/O base addresses and IRQs may work on particular
motherboard. It is recommended that you choose an IRQ not used in your system, and then try to
find an acceptable I/O base address setting. As it has been observed, the IRQ 5 and I/O 0x300 or
0x180 will work in most cases.
•
The driver cannot be loaded because other device uses the requested IRQ.
Try to set different IRQ using the DIP switches.
•
The requested I/O base address cannot be used on your motherboard.
Try to change the I/O base address using the DIP switches.
•
The pc interface does not show up under the interfaces list
Obtain the required license for 2.4/5GHz Wireless Client feature.
•
The wireless card does not register to the Access Point
Check the cabling and antenna alignment.
Application Examples
Point-to-Multipoint Wireless LAN
Let us consider the following network setup with CISCO/Aironet Wireless Access Point as a base
station and MikroTik Wireless Router as a client:
The access point is connected to the wired network's HUB and has IP address from the network
10.1.1.0/24.
The minimum configuration required for the AP is:
1.
Setting the Service Set Identifier (up to 32 alphanumeric characters). In our case we use ssid
"mt".
2.
Setting the allowed data rates at 1-11Mbps, and the basic rate at 1Mbps.
3.
Choosing the frequency, in our case we use 2442MHz.
4.
(For
CISCO/Aironet
Bridges
only)
Set
Configuration/Radio/Extended/Bridge/mode=access_point. If you leave it to 'bridge_only', it
wont register clients.
5.
Setting the identity parameters Configuration/Ident: Inaddr, Inmask, and Gateway. These are
required if you want to access the AP remotely using telnet or http.
The IP addresses assigned to the wireless interface should be from the network 10.1.1.0/24:
