Real-time troubleshooting via the serial
port
If there is a problem during initialization the
Nokia A032 may stop and display an error code
on the
info LEDs. This presents two problems.
• You can’t view the contents of the log file
because the Nokia A032 is not operating.
• The log file does not get updated with
information because the file update only
occurs after successful initialization.
To provide a solution to this problem, the Nokia
A032 also writes all log file entries to the serial
port during initialization. If the unit fails to
initialize and you can’t discover the problem,
try attaching a serial terminal to the unit.
Connect a serial terminal to the serial port with
the following settings:
Baud rate: 9600 bps
#bits: 8
No parity
This will result in the display of progress
messages. You’ll see log messages written to
the terminal – these might provide useful
information.
