Client Card Installation 1 - 7
Table 1.1 - LED Display
When viewing the LED Display, keep in mind the following:
When the PC is initially powered up, all LEDs will be off, unless a
network driver was loaded during power up. After a driver is loaded,
the Status LED is either steady or flashing and the Activity LED is
off. If the power on self-test finds a failure, then one of the two fail-
ure indicators will be displayed instead.
When the Activity LED is flashing green, this indicates the success-
ful reception or transmission of a packet over the radio.
When configured in ARLAN mode, the Aironet PCMCIA Status
LED will blink green until the Card has registered with an Access
Point. Once registered, the Status will go steady green.
If there is a suspected problem, as indicated by the LEDs, run either
the ARLANDGS or WinDGS diagnostic utility (see
Chapter 3 - Util-
ities
).
