AirCard Smart Cradle
The Connection Status screen displays.
6. Check the Connection Status screen to see if your PPPoE connection is up and working.
If the connection is not working, click the Connect button.
The cradle continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.
7. If you cannot connect after several minutes, the cradle might be set up with an incorrect
service name, user name, or password, or your ISP might be experiencing a provisioning
problem.
Unless you connect manually, the cradle does not authenticate using PPPoE until data is
transmitted to the network.
Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your cradle can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages
from the Internet, check the following:
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host
on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP
addresses.
Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you
entered a DNS address during the cradle’s configuration, restart your computer.
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as
explained in the documentation for your computer.
The cradle might not be configured as the default gateway in your computer.
Reboot the computer and verify that the cradle address (192.168.100.1) is listed by your
computer as the default gateway address.
You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a
program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that
software after installing your cradle. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select
Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select the Never dial a
connection. Other browsers have similar features.
Changes Not Saved
If the cradle does not save the changes you make in the cradle interface, do the following:
When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. It is possible that the changes
occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.
