R100 Wireless Gateway 87
Problem
My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the R100 Wireless
Gateway.
Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of
range of the R100.
2. Confirm that the R100 and PC Card have the same SSID.
3. Confirm that the R100 and PC Card have the same Encryption settings,
if enabled.
4. Confirm that the R100’s Air and Link LEDs are solid green.
5. Confirm that the authorization table includes or excludes the MAC
address of the WLAN PC card if Wireless Access Control is enabled.
Problem
The throughput seems slow.
Solution
To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-
placed, not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between
them. If you move the client closer to the R100 and throughput
increases, you may want to consider adding a second R100 Gateway
and implementing roaming.
• Check antenna, connectors and cabling.
• Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
• Check to see that the wired network does not exceed 10 broadcast
messages per second.
• Verify wired network topology and configuration.
