Troubleshooting

This section discusses ways to eliminate trouble on the network. We will provide cross-references to other options in the manual, which support corrective action.

The DockLINK bridges traffic between the local station and the wireless network. The unit provides several indicators of its status and, with either a serial terminal or Web based access, a user may use the tools built into the DockLINK to further examine the network connection and help troubleshoot a problem report.

Indicators

In normal operation, verify that the power, 10BaseT, and radio connectors are attached. Verify that the Power LED is illuminated, and that the Status 1, or Status 2 LEDs are not lit. If either of these are lit, it may indicate a problem, and you should contact your distributor for assistance. If you cannot reach your distributor, or purchased the units directly from RadioLAN, contact RadionLAN Support.

Problem: No traffic passed

Using either the VT100 or Web management tools, check that the configuration is set correctly. Verify that the filters are not set to block all traffic or stop a specific protocol. Examine the statistic counters and use the node discovery screen to “see” the wireless network. Verify the SUBNET ID is set to the correct value.
