Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the R1 Extender.
Q 1.What if my R1 Extender fails to connect to the remote one?
•Ethernet Link: Check the availability of power to the bridge by observing the LED status on the power injector.
-Green: The R1 Extender is connecting to the backhaul network.
-Off: The R1 Extender disconnects from the wired network, check whether the power cord and Ethernet cables to the network and bridge are correctly connected.
•Basic Configurations: Mismatched basic settings among bridges are the most common cause of connectivity fail. If the bridge does not associate with a remote bridge, check whether options in each device are identical.
•Security Settings: Remote bridges attempting to authenticate to your R1 Extender must support the same security options configured in your bridge, such as WEP and WPA
•Antenna Alignment: If the methods above are all checked to be correct, you can observe and verify antenna alignment with RSSI value.
Q 2.What if I would like to reset the unit to default settings?
You may restore factory default settings in “Backup/Restore Settings” from “Management”
Q 3.What if I would like to backup and restore my configuration settings?
You may do the backup by generating a configuration file or retrieve the settings you have backed up previously in “Backup/Restore Settings” from “Management”.
