Determining the Driver Version and Client Utility Release
Determining the Driver Version and Client Utility Release
To determine the driver version, select Status from the Commands pull-down menu in ACU. The driver
version is displayed in the Status screen.
Follow these steps to determine the client utility release:
Step 1 Open the ACU.
Step 2 Select the Commands tab and click About.
In the output returned, the ACU version is indicated by v.xx, which appears before the date/time stamp.
Problems after Installing the Driver
Note If you experience problems during driver installation, you might want to restart the installation process.
Go to the “Uninstalling the Driver and Client Utilities” section on page 7-5 to start with a clean install.
Follow the instructions in this section if you experience difficulty with your client adapter after installing
the driver (for instance, your computer repeatedly freezes at the network login screen, the green LED
does not blink to indicate that the adapter is active, etc.).
Client Adapter Recognition Problems
If your client adapter is not being recognized by your computer’s PCMCIA adapter, check your
computer’s BIOS and make sure that the PC card controller mode is set to PCIC compatible.
Note A computer’s BIOS varies depending on the manufacturer. For support on BIOS-related issues, consult
your computer’s manufacturer.
Problems Associating to the Access Point
Follow these guidelines if your client adapter fails to associate to the access point.
• If possible, move your workstation a few feet closer to the access point and try again.
• Make sure the client adapter is securely inserted in your computer’s PC card slot or PCI expansion
slot.
• If you are using a PCI client adapter, make sure the antenna is securely attached.
• Make sure the access point is turned on and operating.
• If you have access, check the access point’s console to see if it is returning any error messages.
