4 Check that EAP type settings are correct (passwords,
user names, certificates, etc.).
• Problems with access point configuration: if you
encounter these, check the following:
1 Many WLAN access points contain proprietary
“Turbo” mode’s claiming to enhance data rates.
These functionalities should be disabled from the IAP
if there is any reason to believe that they are causing
problems to legacy WLAN terminals (including Nokia
9500 Communicator).
2 Many access points contain an option to configure
them for different wireless modes. These are usually
called something like “802.11g Only”, “802.11g
Auto”, “802.11b Only”, “Mixed mode”. If the IAP is
configured to a “802.11g Only” mode it means that
802.11b devices (including Nokia 9500
Communicator) are not able to associate with the
IAP.
3 Many interoperability problems are solved by
updating the IAP firmware to the latest version.
• Finally...: remember that all Wi-Fi certified devices are
unfortunately not compatible, even if they are
supposed to be.
