When Communication Fails
Check this section if communication is disabled while the driver has
been installed normally.
Check hardware
- Check if the antenna is loose or if there is any shielding object
covering the antenna.
- Check whether the PC Card has been plugged deep into the PC
Card slot.
Check software
- Check whether the operation mode has been set correctly. For
communication with the AP, also check its settings. To use the
user unit in the ADHOC (Simple) Mode, place the AP in the
simple mode. To use the user unit in the Infrastructure
(Standard/Brouter) Mode, place the AP in any mode other than
the simple mode.
- Check whether the ESS ID is the same as that of the recipient.
- Check whether the data encryption setting is the same as that of
the recipient.
- Check whether the driver has been installed normally. Check
the properties of the “CONTEC FX-DS110-PCC” under Network
Adapters in Device Manager.
- Check whether the channel being used matches that of the
recipient.
Check the peripheral environment and place of installation
- A nearby source of electromagnetic interference can prevent
communication. In general locations (excluding factories) the
following may be sources of electromagnetic emissions.
- Another wireless network using the 2.4 GHz band
- Microwave ovens
- Security gates
- Copiers
- Elevator motors
Most electromagnetic sources other than wireless networks are
local and not continuous, and therefore by moving the location of
the unit (the PC containing this product or the recipient) and
waiting briefly, communication may be possible.
