TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

WHAT TO DO

No response from plug-in via
VXIbus.

•

Option-01T not installed in
the carrier controlling the
1260-100X, or installed in
incorrect module.

•

Module

addresses

conflicting.

•

Plug-in not fully seated.

•

Communication problem with
Option-01T, 1260-100X
Carrier, or plug-in.

•

Option-01T must be installed in
left-most carrier or 1260-Series
module in group. See

Option-01T

Chapter 2:

Getting Started

•

Please note that currently 1260-
100X does not have an Option-
01T feature. It requires another
carrier with an Option-01T to
control it.

•

Ensure that each plug-in and
1260-Series module has its own
unique module address. See

Module Address Switch

Chapter 2: Getting Started

•

Ensure that plug-in is firmly
engaged.

•

See special troubleshooting
procedure below, entitled
“Communications
