Verifying Base Station status
Before performing any programming, it is important to verify that all Base
Stations are present on the system at the expected location.
You can verify Base Station status by checking that every Base Station is
connected to a CMCC, CMRC, or CMBC.
Note: If a Base Station is not connected to a CMCC, CMRC, or CMBC, the
MDF wiring is incorrect, the Base Station connections are incorrect, the
powering is off (check the RPI), or the Base Station is defective. Correct
and repeat the process before continuing with system programming.
