If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing your PC Card CP 1515
product, the error may be related to various causes:

•

Out-of range situation, which prevents the PC Card CP 1515 from
establishing a wireless connection with the network.

•

Configuration mismatch, which prevents the PC Card CP 1515 from
establishing a wireless connection with the (correct) network.

•

Absence of, or conflict of the CP 1515 Driver.

•

A problem or conflict with the PC Card slot which prevents the PC Card
CP 1515 from powering on.

•

A conflict of the hardware with another device.

The starting point to troubleshoot problems with your wireless network is
looking at the LED activity of the CP 1515.

Table 2 LED Activity

provides an overview of the various modes of operation

and the associated LED activity. It also includes a number of troubleshooting
hints, that may help you solve the problem.
