Actions:
• Contact the LAN administrator to verify the wireless network name
assigned to the wireless infrastructure network. Be aware that the
wireless network name is case sensitive.
• If using ANY as the wireless network name, verify that the RoamAbout
AP does not have Secure Access enabled.
• The client may not be within range of an AP or ad-hoc network.
Off Off Card is not powered on. The cause may be:
• No driver loaded or installed.
• Card and driver mismatch that prevented the driver from loading.
• Device conflict that prevented the driver from loading.
Actions:
• Verify that a driver has been installed. If not, install the driver.
• Determine if there is a conflict with another device as described in the
“Device Conflict on a Windows System” section on page 7-23.
Typically, this only happens on a Windows NT system.
• Verify the versions of the PC Card driver as described in the “Checking
RoamAbout Product Version Numbers” section on page 6-13
.
• Consult the RoamAbout web site to see if newer versions are available
and if so, upgrade the driver to the latest available version.
