Section 2: System Operation
In addition to the Scope default protocol, the Xlite can be ordered with a number of industry standard
protocols. Please check before ordering a unit for any specific application and always confirm the port
configuration, e.g. N,8,1. The system will auto detect baud rate from 600 to 9600.
Sending data in the correct format (see Technical Section, Calling Pagers) will invoke transmitted
messages to the relevant pagers.
Problems and Fault Finding.
1
Check and re-check the data cable connections. This, together with an incorrect signaling
format, result in more faults than any other problem.
2
Check that the communications configuration and protocol on the host matches the system
(e.g. 8,N,1, Scope). Note: auto baud rate detection is from 600 to 9600 baud.
3
Check that the pagers are at least 3 meters from the transmitter and aerial. Under certain
conditions it is possible to flood the pager receivers and corrupt the data received.
4
Check that the pagers have the battery installed with the correct polarity and are correctly
powered up.
5
Check that the red power LED on the front of the transcoder is lit. If not, check the power
hook up with the aid of a suitable meter.
6
Check that the green LED lights for the duration of the transmission. If not, go back to the
data cabling and re-check the signal format.
7
Check that the aerial is correctly installed.
8
Check the pagers are set to alphanumeric 1200 baud and are resident on the correct radio
frequency.
