Hints for problem solving
In case of an error or malfunction during operation of your PC card cifX,
observe the following troubleshooting instructions:
General
Ø
Check that the requirements for operation of the PC card are met
according to the information provided in this user manual.
SYS and COM status LEDs
You can troubleshoot the system by checking the behavior of the LEDs.
·
The SYS LED on the device indicates the general device status and can
permanently light yellow or green, or blinking yellow/green.
·
The COM LEDs on the detached network interface indicate the status of
the device communication and can be switched on or flash cyclically or
acyclically, green or red (or orange = red/green simultaneously).
If the SYS LED lights static green and the communication status LEDs light
as shown in the table below, the PC card is in the "operation" state, the
Master is exchanging data with the connected Slaves and communication
is running touble-free.
