Solution
No lights are lit on
the wireless adapter
The wireless card driver is not
inserted into the CardBus PC
card slot properly Or the proper
HA501 wireless adapter driver is
not loaded.
• Remove and reinsert the wireless adapter.
• Check the device manager in Windows to see if the adapter
card is properly recognized in the Windows operating system.
Reload the driver if necessary.
• Try to install the driver in different CardBus PC card slot on
your Windows NT system if it’s available.
The two LED’s are
blinking alternately
The wireless adapter is not
associated to any access point
properly. You may not have
configured the wireless
parameters of the wireless nodes
to be the same as the access
point.
• The access point may not be powered on.
• The access point and the PC card are not configured with the
same wireless parameters. Check into the SSID, Turbo mode
option and WEP encryption settings.
• The access point may be out of range. Try moving the system
closer to the access point or readjusting the antenna on the
access point. You may also move the access point to a higher
location for better signal reception by the wireless adapter.
I am associated and
connected to an
access point, but I
cannot see the other
computers on the
Ethernet side of the
network
This could be a physical layer
problem or a network
configuration problem.
• Check to make sure that the access point is physically
connected to the Ethernet network.
• Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking
parameters are all configured correctly.
