TECHNICAL SUPPORT ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION 1.1 About this software This Driver supports the following network interface cards: * Avaya Wireless PC Card (Silver and Gold) * WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo 11 Mb Card * WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo Card (8 Mb) * WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card (2 Mb) 1.2 Files Installed The following files will be installed in the Windows designated directory: WDLUC48.DLL WLLUC.CNT WNLUC.HLP WNLUC48.CPL WLLUC48.INF WLLUC48.SYS WULUC48.VXD WCLUC48.EXE ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Operating System This Driver is for the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. NEW IN THIS RELEASE * Now supporting Ruby PC Cards. * Enabled both IEEE 802.11 client mode and Outdoor Router client mode without re-installing the driver * IEEE 802.11 client mode matches the 7.02 release of the Agere NDIS driver * New release of the PC Driver requires use of new PC Driver license keys. The new license keys are of the form 'SHKG-A105-CA40-42L9-AKDJ'. Notice that the new license key is visibly different from older license keys. - New license key DOES NOT protect the System Access Pass Phrase. - New license key contains the Data Rate throttle embedded inside of it, so the user does not have to enter the Data Rate separately * Added OR Client Frequency Channel Auto-Select functionality for automatically detecting the frequency channel the ISP Base Station is running on. This makes installation and migration to different frequency channels much easier to manage. - For OR Client Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work correctly, the NWID and Frequency Channel numbers MUST match (i.e. Frequency Channel 6 and NWID 6). If the channel number and NWID used by your ISP Base Station are not the same number, then the PC driver WILL NOT correctly establish a connection when Channel Auto-Select is enabled. - For Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work, you MUST run kernel version 3.88 or higher on your ISP Base Station. - The PC Driver will work correctly with all existing ISP Base Stations when Frequency Channel Auto-Select is DISABLED. * Solved a bug where the OR Client PC Driver could hang the user's PC under certain conditions, including when the output queue fills (e.g. if the connection with the ISP Base Station was lost). * Fine-tuned the data rate throttling mechanism to obtain more accurate throttling, and to correctly throttle at speeds above 1 Mbps. * Increased OR Client performance by up to 20%. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. INSTALLATION NOTES 4.1 Standard Installation Please refer to the install.txt file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS 5.1 Compatibility with previous ISP Base Station versions The Frequency Channel Auto-Select feature IS NOT compatible with older versions of OR Client ISP Base Station software. All other features should work with older ISP Base Stations. 5.2 Frequency Channel Auto-Select * For OR Client Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work correctly, the NWID and Frequency Channel numbers MUST match (i.e. Frequency Channel 6 and NWID 6). If the channel number and NWID used by your ISP Base Station are not the same number, then the PC driver WILL NOT correctly establish a connection when Channel Auto-Select is enabled. * For Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work, you MUST run kernel version 3.88 or higher on your ISP Base Station. * The PC Driver will work correctly with all existing ISP Base Stations when Frequency Channel Auto-Select is DISABLED. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. KNOWN ISSUES * When installing the driver into a Windows desktop PC using an ISA- or PCI-to-PCMCIA adapter, you MUST correctly install the adapter card BEFORE attempting to install the OR Client PC Driver. Failure to correctly install the adapter card before installing the OR Client PC Driver will cause the OR Client PC Driver to be installed incorrectly, causing unpredictable results. Observed symptoms include: - Not recognizing the Avaya Wireless PC Card when it is inserted into the PCMCIA slot - Automatically detecting the Avaya Wireless PC Card when it is inserted, and allowing you to install the driver, but the driver does not load correctly at system startup - Windows Device Manager reporting that 'The device is disabled, not installed correctly, or is not plugged in'. - On Windows 2000, driver may appear to install correctly. The Client Manager may report a normal connection when in IEEE 802.11 client mode, but always report 'No ISP Base Station in Range' when in Outdoor Router Client mode. In both cases, the Windows networking cable connection indicator ALWAYS reports 'Network Cable Unplugged'. =================================================================== END OF FILEDownload Driver Pack
