 Troubleshooting 
FX-DS110-APL 
51 
Check the peripheral environment and place of installation 
・ A nearby source of electromagnetic interference can prevent 
communication.    In general locations (excluding factories) the 
following may be sources of electromagnetic emissions.   
 ・ 2.4GHz band wireless networks not compatible with IEEE 
802.11b. 
 ・ Microwave  ovens 
 ・ Security  gates 
 ・ Copiers 
 ・ Elevator  motors 
Most electromagnetic sources other than wireless networks are 
local and not continuous, and therefore by moving the location of 
the unit and waiting briefly, communication may be possible.   
Also, do not place wireless devices too close together.    A distance 
of at least 1m should be allowed. 
・ Sometimes communication is hindered by attenuation of electric 
waves.    Attenuation occurs naturally as distance from the source 
of transmission increases, but may also be caused by objects in 
the path of the transmission.    The objects primarily responsible 
for attenuation are the following. 
 ・ Concrete  walls 
 ・ Metallic surfaces around antennas 
Stable transmission at 11Mbps requires an RSSI value of at least 80. 
The RSSI value can be verified on the Wireless Device Information 
tab on the Status screen using the utility software. 
When SNMP Connections Fail 
・ It is possible that the device cannot locate a control parameter, or 
that a private MIB has not been compiled.    See Chapter 6.   
・ If MIB settings have not been made, the correct community name 
may not have been entered.    Be sure the community name 
setting agrees with the network manager's setting.   
・ Check the SNMP settings that are being used.
