Make sure that you are using one of the following Web

browsers: - Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later

- Netscape version 5.0 or later.

3. Ensure that you are not using a proxy server for the connection with your Web

browser.

4. Double-check the physical network connections (includes the cables and the

connectors). Use a well-known unit to ensure the network connection is properly

functioning.

9-3 Configuration Issues

The following problems relate to setup and configuration problems:

These are some basic configurations might make the link fail:

•

RF Channel

•

SSID

•

IP address

•

Rule of MAC address filter

•

Rule of security settings (such as WEP or WPA)

•

Rule of authentication (such as settings of radius server and 802.1x)

•

Configurations of WDS page

Please double-check the configuration in Chapter 3 “Configuring the 802.11 a
Radio”

9-4 Communication Issues

If two radios work within close distance of each other and do not work while separated,

then there are two possible reasons why wireless connectivity isn’t working properly:

An RF path problem is one possibility. For example, poor antenna alignment, the

tower is not tall enough when the radios are installed at a long distance or the

connectors are not seated properly, etc (these are the most common problems in

installations).

The other possibility is interference problems caused by high signal levels from
