Troubleshooting

Problem 2: When you start the PassageWay Configurator and use the Auto Detect feature, you receive the message “Device Not Present.”

In configuring the service provider, you may choose to let the Configurator search for the COM port to which the PassageWay link is connected. All of the COM ports known to the system will be searched. If the Windows system comes across a PCMCIA COM port that is not physically there, but is available to Windows, you will receive the following error message (“Device Not Present”). The following example is for COM4.

“A PCMCIA Card for the COM4 port is not present in a slot. Insert a card for the port and select the OK button. You may have to reconfigure the COM port.”

Problem 3: The PassageWay Link is not always detected.

During the installation, you will be asked if you would like the system to search for your PassageWay link/adapter. If you choose to have this done for you, it is possible that the link will not be found. Assuming that you know the proper serial port, you can use the Auto Detect button on the PassageWay Configurator - COM Port dialog box to verify that the system can find the PassageWay adapter. Even though the automatic search did not find the link, assuming that you are properly connected and there isn't a conflict in the system, the adapter should be found. This problem will be addressed in a later release of the PassageWay Service Provider.
