Problems

If you have difficulty with the Bridge, try the solutions in the following
table.

Table 15 Troubleshooting

Symptom

Solution(s)

16 devices have been
connected to the Bridge,
either simultaneously or
sequentially. After
connecting another device,
the new device cannot
associate with the network.

The Bridge supports up to 16 specific clients (for
example, computers and printers) and keeps track of
them using a client list of MAC addresses. After the
client limit is reached, you must clear the client list to
allow a new client to associate. For example, in a hub
configuration with 16 clients connected, if you
disconnect a desktop computer and connect a laptop
in its place, you must clear the client list to establish
network association.

1 Disconnect a client by unplugging its Ethernet cable

from the hub.

2 Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device

Manager to select the Bridge and launch its
Configuration Management System.

3 Under System Configuration, click Ethernet Client

List. The Ethernet Client List page appears. Click
Clear Client List.

4 Connect the new client by plugging its Ethernet

cable into the hub.
