PC Card Issues
In some circumstances, Cingular Communication Manager will not be able
to detect a user's wireless card that is installed in the system. The following
is a list of possible causes of this situation:
Card Driver and/or firmware are outdated
Communication Manager is an application that takes advantage of the
latest capabilities of GSM-certified hardware. As such, a card may not
function properly and may not be detected if recent firmware and drivers
have not been installed on a user's computer.
Resolution
You must re-install the device: See Re-Installing the Device.
Card Is Disabled
GSM cards, like any other network adapter, can be disabled in the
operating system. Communication Manager will indicate in the primary
window whether a card is disabled.
Resolution
Users can enable an inserted GSM adapter by selecting selecting Adapters
> Turn on GSM from the adapters menu. Likewise, an adapter can be
disabled by selecting selecting Adapters > Turn off GSM. This feature is
valuable to any user who needs to turn off the adapter in certain situations
such as travel on an airplane or in situations where low battery
consumption is critical. Wireless cards can also be enabled or disabled
under the Windows Network Connections Control Panel (also called
Network and Dialup connections).
