Remote-i Net

Normal operation steps

The data download operation considered to be normal involves the following sequence of events:

1. after installation of the network cables and connection to the power source, the LED identified as

POWER should light up in green, whenever the 

Remote-i Net

 is switched on;

2. immediately after the 

Remote-i Net

 is switched on, the three LEDs will be lit, indicating that the

equipment is attempting to connect to

 

the local network. After 3 seconds the LEDs identified as

COMMUNICATION and LINE should turn off, and only the POWER will be lit. This indicates
that the 

Remote-i Net

 is ready to operate on the local network;

3. the user places the 

Guardus

 on the metal receptacle mounted on the front of the 

Remote-i Net

and this carries out a rapid reading of its content. This reading is signaled by a very brief flashing
of LINE;

4. assuming that the data necessary for the download is correctly stored in the 

Guardus

, the

Remote-i Net

 will respond by lighting up COMMUNICATION in red. This indicator will remain

unaltered during the entire download process, and the user shouldn't remove the 

Guardus

 from

the metal receptacle as this will interrupt the operation;

5. when the remote computer is connected to the 

Remote-i Net

, the 

Guardus

 will immediately emit

a sound and light signal, indicating that the two parts have been synchronized and download of
data can commence;

6. the download process will proceed for a few seconds and may be accompanied by rapid flashing

of LINE;

7. at the end of the download process, the 

Guardus

 will again emit a sound and light signal

indicating that everything went well and the 

Remote-i Net

 will signal this with a color change of

COMMUNICATION from red to green;

8. the user removes the 

Guardus

 from the metal receptacle and waits for the LED identified as

COMMUNICATION to turn off, indicating the end of the download cycle.

The procedure described above assumes that everything occurred without problems. However, some
difficulties may arise during this process which will be immediately signaled by 

Remote-i Net

 through a

combined flashing of the COMMUNICATION and LINE LEDs. 

In order to understand what 

Remote-i Net

 is trying to indicate with the light signals, read the section

'Frequently Asked Questions', on page 12.
