Appendix B

Troubleshooting Guide

1. “

I can’t get a wireless connection with a client unit”.

•

Verify that the Client MAC address has been correctly added to the Base

Station and the Base MAC address has been correctly entered in the Client.

•

Verify that Base and Client are operating on the same Radio Spectrum

Bandwidth, Frequency and Data Rate.

•

If encryption is enabled, verify that the key information been entered

correctly.

•

Make sure that the distance between the base and client units is within the

specified system range. A quick check of the signal strength and quality

indicators can help assess a marginal RF link. Poor indicator response may

be due to the following reasons:

Your link distance has exceeded the unit’s capability: Review your

link budget to make sure that the system is able to handle the

distance. Use GPS devices to accurately determine the link distance

first. If you are unsure about the link budget, you may contact

Solectek Technical Support for help.

Antenna misalignment: antennas must be aligned correctly to

achieve maximum link distance.
