All radios in the network must meet the following requirements
for proper operation. Check these items first when
troubleshooting a communication problem:
• Adequate and stable primary power
• Secure cable connections (RF, data, and power)
• A clear transmission path between Master and each Remote
• An efficient and properly aligned antenna system providing
adequate received signal strength.
• Proper programming of the transceiver’s parameters
• The correct interface between the transceiver and the
connected data equipment (correct cable wiring, proper data
format, timing, etc.)
LEDs
The radio’s power LED indicator panel provides useful
information when troubleshooting a system problem.
Continuous—Power is applied to the radio; no problems
detected
Flashing (5 times-per-second)—Fault indication. Use PC
or top panel screen for more information on fault
condition
Off—Radio is unpowered or in Sleep mode
Event Codes
When an alarm condition exists, the transceiver creates a
message that can be read on a connected PC by using the
ALARM command.
Types of Alarms
Minor Alarms—report conditions that, under most
circumstances, will not prevent transceiver operation. These
include out-of-tolerance conditions, baud rate mismatches,etc.
The cause of these alarms should be investigated and
corrected to prevent system failure.
Major Alarms—report serious conditions that generally
indicate a hardware failure, or other abnormal condition that
will prevent (or hamper) further operation of the transceiver.
Major alarms may require factory repair. Contact your factory
representative for assistance.
