ComCenter-II ‘Outdoor’
Product Manual
The next step in the Pre-Use Test Process will be to connect the power and at least one telephone handset. This will allow
you to double check that the unit, and your cables, will perform properly once fully installed.
Pre-Use Testing of Components and Connectivity
(Continued)
Preparation
To properly test the system, you’ll need to
place the antenna unit in a position with a
360 degree view of the sky. Any obstructions
will cause a lapse in connectivity between
the ComCenter and the orbiting satellites.
Run the cable to the supplied adapter (see
below)
Locating Satellite-Viewable Work Area
If you intend to use the supplied power
transformer, then connect the power jack the
wall plate as shown in the top illustration. If
you prefer to connect the system to another
DC power source*, then simply separate the
wires as shown in the bottom illustration and
connect those to the alternate source.
Next connect a standard analog/POTS
telephone into the RJ11 jack.
*24 - 36VDC, 15 Watts
Attaching Phone and Power
Once the initialization has completed (about 30 seconds), you should hear one of
the following tone patterns (depending on your system settings).
[Long] (Constant Dialtone)
[Found Home Network]
or
[Pause]-[Short]-[Pause]........
[Waiting for PIN code]
This indicates that all elements of the system are operating properly If any element
of the system is not operating correctly, the earpiece will emit a ‘fault code’.. Refer
to Appendix A for code definitions and the troubleshooting steps to resolve them.
Activating and Testing the System
NOTE:
At this point, you should be able to pick up the Handset and hear a tone
pattern. If not, you should check all your connections and try again.
IMPORTANT:
For a complete listing of the meaning behind system tone messages, see Appendix A.
