Problems With Wireless Connectivity
Problem Solution
When you turn on the computer after
it was suspended for a while (10 to 15
minutes or longer), it can no longer
send or receive messages over the
network.
Host may have deactivated or lost current terminal
emulation session. In a TCP/IP direct connect network,
turn off the “Keep Alive” message from host to maintain
the TCP session while the computer is suspended.
The CN3 is connected to the network
and you move to a new site to collect
data. Your CN3 now shows you are
not connected to the network.
Move closer to an access point or to a different location
to reestablish communications until you reconnect with
the network. Any data collected while out of range is
transmitted over the network.
