2.12 Wireless LAN Troubleshooting

This section describes how to determine if the computer’s wireless LAN is functioning properly.
Perform the steps below starting with Procedure 1 and continuing with other procedures as
required.

Procedure 1:  Transmitting-Receiving Check
Procedure 2:  Antennas' Connection Check
Procedure 3:  Antennas' Capability Check
Procedure 4:  Replacement Check

Procedure 1

Transmitting-Receiving Check

Make sure the wireless communication switch on the computer is turned on. If it is not, turn the
switch on.

Check 1 Execute the test program for the wireless LAN function to check the transmitting-

receiving function of the wireless LAN. You will need a second computer that can
communicate by the wireless LAN.
If the computer passes the test, the function is correctly working.

If the computer does not pass the test, perform Procedure 2.
