Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

 

If a module is plugged into the frame after a discovery, 

+

Pilot Lite 

does not automatically detect the module. Refresh 

+

Pilot Lite (

File 

Refresh

) to discover the newly installed module.

If a Legacy 6800 series product is in the frame, 

+

Pilot Lite will not 

detect it. 

+

Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series 

products. They will not be discovered or controlled by 

+

Pilot Lite 

although they can be installed in the FR6802

+

XF frame and work using 

card edge controls. For 

+

Pilot Lite to find a module, it must be from 

the 6800

+

 product family.

+

Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding

+

Pilot Lite and CCS applications such as Navigator or Pilot cannot run 

on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but 
only one can be opened at a time.

+

Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing 

in the Control Window

Consider these questions:

Did you physically set the jumper for local control? If so, set this 
jumper to the REM position for remote control.

Does the card name in the control window physically match the 
card type in the frame? 

Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the positioning 
of the module in its slot in the frame.

Does the Control window indicate the device is “ready”? The 
device may be powered off or disconnected from the network.

+

Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports “Not Ready”

+

Pilot Lite reports each device’s connection status in the status bar. If 

the connection status message reads “Not Ready,” check the following:

Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the position of 
the module in the frame.

Is the frame connected to the network? Check the device’s network 
connection.

If the status bar

 

still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or 

device, try restarting 

+

Pilot Lite.
