WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo 11 Mb PC Card B-7
Unlike the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating systems,
Windows NT is not able to check automatically whether the
proposed values are already used by another device.
To avoid or troubleshoot hardware conflicts with another device,
you are advised to use the Windows NT Diagnostic program, to
determine whether the default I/O port and IRQ for your WaveLAN
card are available, and if not to select an alternative value.
NOTE:
Sometimes it may be pretty difficult to determine where a
device conflict is locared. As a rule of thumb, you can use
the following troubleshooting hint:
■ When the conflict is related to an conflcitng I/O Base
setting, in most cases the WaveLAN card will not work
at all: i.e. you will not see any LED activity.
■ If the problem is related to a conflicting IRQ value,
LEDs may flicker, but you can notconnect to the
network.
In a number of cases you may be able to verify that
the card succeeded in establishing a radio connection
with a WavePOINT-II device, but fails to really
connecting to the network operating system.
Running Windows NT Diagnostics B
When installing the WaveLAN card, the Windows NT operating
system will prompt you to confirm or modify the factory-set device
values for your WaveLAN card:
Starting Windows NT Diagnostics B
1. Click the button on the Windows NT Taskbar.
2. Click on Programs, and then “Administrative Tools”.
