Cannot connect to a Station (A111 Card)

Follow the procedure below to configure yourA111 card.

a.Verify that the Network Type is in Ad Hoc mode.

b.Verify that the SSID of your A111 is set to the same SSID of the other station (or another WLAN card).

c.Verify that the channel of the A111 card is Auto or set to the same channel of the other station (or another WLAN card).

d.Verify that the Encryption type is the same as the other station (or another WLAN card). If WEP encryption is enabled, you must set the same “WEP” Keys on both stations.

Bad link quality or bad signal strength

There are two possible reasons. First is radio interference, keep the environment around the A111 card away from microwave ovens and large metal objects. Then try to reorient the A111 antenna. Second is the distance, decrease the distance between your A111 card and the Access Point or station (or another WLAN Card).
