yes i mentioned that in an earlier post...also in my earlier post is a link to a little more info about the PDA's.

btw what do you see as a major diff between the IBM & Lucent PDA's?

Spammy · 07-13-2003

Well, an Avaya and Lucent PDA is very similar, with only a couple of lines different. This IBM PDA has upwards of 10 lines different, and I'm therefore curious as to what those lines are changing.

change it to '3fff' and you get the Japanese channel set (14 channels).

you tried reading the PDA off your Cisco card spammy?

Yeah, no joy though. Same error as you. I got the CIS from it though. If we could program an American CIS to the card, it might allow for 100mW setting, but then again, it could be set in the PDA. There's no way of telling

probably more likely to be the PDA. No doubt cisco have their own proprietary utils for this purpose.

The cards will however freely switch modes as detailed below.

Quote:

The client adapter scans for beacons and probe responses transmitted by the access point that contain country information. The client uses this information to set the frequency and transmit power levels for the regulatory domain in which it is operating.

Not sure whether these beacons are a cisco access point feature only.

I imagine it is only Cisco AP's.

Wouldn't it be great just to be able to transmit an upgrade over the air to cards... wishful thinking (unless there's any Cisco developers on here willing to share some info

)

interesting, i might try opening up some more of the channels on my US orinoco gold card also (possibly even the new proxim a/b/g gold card that i have from the US also!)

haven't got round to flashing my silver to a gold card yet, but i'll give it a go soon

I work at a school where we have some mobile wireless laptop carts which we upgraded from the 2MB Symbol cards to some Avaya Silver's about a year ago. Well, now we've upgraded the whole campus to Prism Gold, so I decided it would be a good idea to try to upgrade the old Avaya Silvers.

No problems really, but when loading the new pda onto a lot of cards, I had to reboot the laptop (IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1422) about every 8th card because I'd start getting the message about a write bit not being set or something. But, after rebooting, everything works fine until the next 8-9 cards, then I just reboot again.

I had 38 cards to upgrade, and that was the only snag I ran into.

Dear Peekitty,

Could you send me the flash.xe, flash.ini and flash.pdf ?
Because Intersil already remove the link.
Thanks.

peekitty · 07-26-2003

Send it where? Why don't you try the links I listed on page one of this thread. I just tested them, they work.

Wiyadi · 07-26-2003

Can someone post the xx code for Avaya Silver Card wanna flash to Avaya Gold Card? Thanks.

Wiyadi · 07-27-2003

When I dump the pda there is no error message, but after I wanna to programming the flash using the card.pda there is an error.

I'm using :
flash -5v -pd avaya.pda, then edited.

flash -5v -p avaya.pda

message :
RID read error. Offset busy bit never cleared.
RID FD01 read error.
FAILED.
Error encountered. Returns ERRORLEVEL=1

Do you have any idea?

Regards,

Wiyadi

Hey, All

Can somebody please send me (PM) a .HEX & .PDA
for an ORIG ORINOCO GOLD Card? If Possible
one that has a ETSI REG. ID..

I need to use Orig. Orinoco Drivers on an Avaya Gold...
I'm tired of tring the Hex edit Driver files to use them.

Of course I've done the searching,but can't find the needed files.
If you have one of these cards you can use the FLASH.EXE
programs mentioned in this thread..

Thanx

you don't need to hack anything to use original orinoco drivers w/ the avaya gold. just tell the device manager "have disk," point to the orinoco INF, and select the orinoco driver. the hacks are only needed if you want to run the client manager or firmware updaters.
