5.4 Problems Communicating With the Computer

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

The ParkerVision USB Wireless LAN Adapter client cannot communicate with the other computer on the Ethernet when the Infrastructure mode is confi gured.

ParkerVision Status Utility Button displays No Signal.

There is too much radio interference (for example microwave oven or cordless telephone) around your wireless network.

Make sure that the AP and the associated computer are on.

Make sure your computer and the AP use the same SSID.

Make sure both computers are associated with the Access Point.

Use the Windows Ping Command to test communications to the access point’s IP Address. Consult your Access Point documentation for the address settings. If you can Ping the Access Point, you should then attempt to Ping the second computer. The IPCONFIG command will display a computer assigned IP Address when entered from a Windows Command Prompt.

Use the Site Survey utility to verify operating radio channel has low interference. Change the AP and all the stations within the BSS to another radio channel if interference is high.

Make sure that the computer and the AP share the same security option and key.

Move your computer closer to the AP within the transmission range.

Relocate or reduce the radio interference.
