TROUBLESHOOTING
If the installation and configuration procedures described in this manual have
been followed, the Plessey
EasyReach should work correctly when it is first
turned on. If, however, the Plessey EasyReach does not work as expected,
there are three general methods that can be used to determine equipment status
and operating conditions:
•
If the front-panel status indicators are not showing normal (all green)
status, refer to the procedures under “Status Indicators” below. The error
table on page 18 gives a summary of how various error conditions can
affect the status indicators.
•
If the performance is such that the antenna systems are suspect, the two
EasyReach terminal units of a link can be brought together and bench
tested with the antennas bypassed. The procedure for this is detailed in
“Bench Testing” on page 19.
•
If system performance is thought to be below standard, the EasyReach
Element Manager can be used not only to monitor ongoing system
performance parameters but also to perform system loopback and other
tests. These procedures are detailed in “Control and Configuration Using
EasyReach Element Manager” on page 22.
In the event of a faulty EasyReach , refer to qualified service personnel or return
the EasyReach for service.
