5.2 Problems With the Utility Configuration

PROBLEM

While starting the confi guration utility, the program starts up and terminates immediately with no errors.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

The D2D/ParkerVision software may not recognize that the USB adapter has been connected. Try removing and re-connecting the USB plugs. Make sure that Windows is recognizing the adapter when it is inserted.

Note for Windows XP users: Another reason the utility may terminate results from Windows XP controlling the adapter services at installation time. You may check this with the following steps: Click Start, Control Panel. From Control Panel, select Network, then Wireless Network Settings, and uncheck the “Use Windows to confi gure my wireless network settings.” More information on this can be found in this manual in Section 4.11.

5.3 Problems With Access Point Settings

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Problems with AP settings.

Make sure that the Access Point (AP) and the associated computer are turned on.

 

Check to see if the access point is displayed in the available connections section of the

 

D2D/ParkerVision Management Utility.

 

From a Windows Command Prompt, use the Ping Command to test connectivity to the

 

Access Point. Consult your Access Point manual for the appropriate IP Address.

 

Consult your Access Point Manual for additional troubleshooting tips.
