DR LCD Display Possible Causes Suggested Action
A flashing P appears in the
upper left corner, indicating
the DR is not receiving
enough power.
The HAL is not powered. Power on the HAL.
A mis-wired or broken cable is dis-
rupting power to the DR.
Use a cable tester to verify
shielded CAT 5e termination.
If using a punch block, verify
that the brown pair is prop-
erly punched. (Assuming
T568B termination).
The cable is not plugged into a
HAL.
Plugging the DR cable into
some other device (like an
Ethernet switch) will not
supply power to the DR.
The shielded CAT 5e cable between
the DR and the HAL is too long.
Shorten the cable!
There is excessive voltage drop
between the HAL and DR.
Verify it is 24 AWG (or
heavier) cable.
Verify the cable length from
HAL to DR has not
exceeded 150 meters.
A spinning wheel and the
words
Connecting ... never
go away.
The twisted pair in the shielded
CAT 5e cable that carries com-
munications data is mis-wired or
broken.

CAT 5e cable.
If using a punch block, verify
that the orange pair is prop-
erly punched (assuming
T568B termination).
A flashing exclamation
point and the words
Con-
figuration Mismatch .
The physical DR model detected on
