Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the JetWave 2800. For
warranty assistance, contact your service provider or distributor for the pro ce ss.

Q 1. How to know the MAC address of JetWave 2800?

MAC Address distinguishes itself by the unique identity among network devices. There are two
ways available to know it.

• Each device has a label posted on the back of the AP. There are MAC address for Ethernet
and Radio cards. Please refer below.

Figure 11 MAC Address

• On the JetWave 2800 Web-based management interface, you can view the MAC Address
from “Status” -> “System Status”.

Q 2. Wha t if I would like to reset the unit to default settings?

You may restore factory default settings in “Management” from “Administration”.

Q 3. Wha t if I would like to backup and retrieve my configuration settings?

You may do the backup by generating a configuration file or retrieve the settings you have backed
up previously in “Configuration Management” from “Administration”.

Q 4. Wha t if I can not access the Web-based management interface?

Please check the followings:

• Check whether the power supply is OK; Try to power on the unit again.

• Check whether the IP address of PC is correct (in the same network segment as the unit);

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Page 50

• Login the unit via other browsers such as Firefox.

• Use JetWave Viewer to scan the AP and modify the IP address.

Q 5. What if the wireless connection is not stable after associating with an AP under wireless

client mode?

• Since the JetWave 2800 comes without built-in directional antenna, it is recommended make
the external antennas’ face to the direction where the AP is to get the best connection quality.

• Check the “Distance (x100m)” setting in “Radio Setup”. Correct distance can help improve
the transmission quality.

• In addition, you can start “Site Survey” in “Utility” to check the signal strength. If it is weak or
unstable (The smaller the number is, the weaker the signal strength is.), please join other
available AP for better connection.
