Problem 5 - Detection Problem for ODI Workstations Important This section only applies to DOS and Windows ODI wireless workstations with a PCMCIA Type II slot. If the PCMCIA Credit Card is not detected when you start your computer: 1. Be sure there is no potential conflict (memory allocation, IRQ, PORT ...) 2. Your PCMCIA machine does not have an INTEL 82365SL or compatible port controller. You must add Card and Socket Services support to your machine. Radio Interference Problem If there is radio interference caused by other equipment, follow these steps: Determine what equipment is creating the interference. For example, a microwave oven or any product working in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz frequency band. Move the base radio module. Move the equipment (if possible) that is causing the interference. Move the base itself. When you have identified the frequency on which there is interference, go to the NAP and forbid that frequency. See Installing and Operating Your Network manual for a table of radio allocations by country. Running Adapter Diagnostics from the Utilities Diskette To run the adapter diagnostics, do the following: 1. Insert the IBM Wireless LAN 'Utilities diskette' in drive A, and restart the workstation by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. Reference Information 243
