Check WLAN security settings
If the Connection status is something other than Connected in the parameter
setter, check:
•
WLAN encryption and/or authorization modes must agree with the settings in
the WLAN access point. Most corporate networks are probably using WPA or
WPA2.
•
The key is pre-shared and must be the same in the access point and in the
Kvaser BlackBird.
•
Check that you have typed in the key or passphrase correctly. The pass
phrase is case sensitive.
Check the WLAN encryption and authorization mode with your network
administrator. You can also use the Browse networks button in the parameter
setter, select the network in question from the list, and see some technical details
for that network in the pane to the right.
Some networks may have firewall rules that prevent unknown devices from
connecting to the network. Make sure you are allowed to connect.
9.5
Scan for networks
Use the Browse networks button in the parameter setter to check that the WLAN
network you want to connect to is listed.
9.6
Check IP number and network mask
If you have opted to use DHCP, check in the Info tab of the parameter setter that a
reasonable IP number has been assigned. If you have set a static IP, make sure
both the IP number and Network mask are correct.
9.7
Check that your computer and Kvaser BlackBird recognize
each other (ad-hoc mode)
View available networks by selecting Start->Control Panel->Network and
Internet->Connect to a network, see Figure 31 on Page 41.
The status should say Connected.
