Troubleshooting
One of the following indicates that there maybe something wrong with the connec-
tion:
• The list does not scroll as shown in the preceding image.
• The message “Hardware error” or “Request timed out” appears
• A message other than “Reply from 192.168.0.1:….” appears.
If an error exists, check the following:
1. Verify that the IR2 works with the direct connect mode. This significantly reduces the
possibility of failure in the IR2 Control box and focuses our attention on the network.
2. The PC and the radar are connected to a router/hub using straight through cables (hold
connectors upside down side-by-side and verify that the color order is the same on both
sides.)
3. The Network Interface Card software is installed correctly.
4. The power is turned on to the radar and has been for at least one full minute.
5. The LEDs on the RJ-45 connector on both the PC and the MDS box are illuminated and/
or blinking. The left most LED should remain solid, while the other LED may blink.
6. Verify the IP address and Subnet mask are obtained automatically.
7. If you are uncertain about the PC’s network configuration, please contact the network
administrator or the NIC card provider technical support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
I was tracking a target on my radar screen and it suddenly disappeared. What
happened to it?
A:
One of the most critical pieces of data for target acquisition is a stable and correct
heading value. MARPA or AIS targets are generally lost when the target is too small,
returning too weak of an echo, or the heading fluctuates too much. If you experi-
ence lost targets on a consistent basis, you can create a recording of your radar and
send it to us for further troubleshooting. To start recording, right click on the Radar
window and select Record/Playback. Select Record, and the software will ask you for
a file name. The extension for the existing IR2 radar is .RAD. Please zip your playback
file and e-mail to [email protected] with a description of your problem.
Q:
My radar image occasionally looks “smeared”. What is causing this?
