11.10 WLAN access point not detected by external PC,
mobile or tablet
With the first R&S TSMA6 devices shipped, the WLAN module is configured to use the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.
In environments with high traffic on the 2.4 GHz band, the R&S TSMA6 access point
sometimes switches into the 5 GHz band after power-up. The effect is that notebooks /
PCs / handheld devices with a 2.4 GHz limited WLAN module could no longer detect
the TSMA6 WLAN access point. To overcome this error, the driver settings of the
WLAN module of the TSMA6 need to be adapted.
1. Check the "Mode" LED.
● "Mode" LED is permanently green => continue with step 2
● "Mode" LED is permanently blue => continue with step 3
● Other color => check error states (see Chapter 11.1, "LED indicated errors",
on page 125)
2. Check the WLAN switch on the rear panel of the device. It must be "On".
3. Verify the WLAN AP settings via the web GUI.
Navigate to "Configuration" > "Connectivity" > "WLAN AP".
The "Status" must be "On".
