WLS-9163: No wireless tab appear in config, only one configuration tab for LAN settings

[electron1999]

I have a NI9206 in WLS-9163 carrier. I found it with MAX and configure options seems a little different than expected because there is no Wireless configuration tab. I can use it from LAN but not from Wireless, because I cannot even configure the SSID or any other wireless settings. I though I should perform a firmware upgrade for this device, but when done, it says it already has the 2.0.1 version installed.

Have anyone an idea regarding what the problem could be?

There is an attached JPG of the configuration screen in MAX.

I'll appreciate any help. My direct email: electron1999@hotmail.com

Hi,

In order to communicate with your WLS-9163 through a wireless connection, you need to follow some required steps. Those steps are described at the following link:

I have the same problem. Your link does not solve it. Any other possibilities?

Hello Electron;

I have seen this problem before when running a virtual machine and working with MAX simultaneously .

So I see that you are working with the 2.0.1 firmware version; however, what OS and version of DAQmx do you have installed?

Problem solved: the wlan card inside the module went slightly out of the slot and so wireless function was off.

Thank you!
