Troubleshooting procedures

FiberPatrol FP1150 Product Guide

Page 69

Installation, configuration, or calibration issues generally become evident when the system is first 
armed and tested. Any problems must be rectified before commissioning the system. In addition, 
care must be taken to avoid any installation, configuration, or calibration issues following system 
repairs, reconfigurations, or upgrades. Accidents, such as falling trees and tree limbs and 
installation problems at gate areas are the leading causes of outdoor sensor cable damage.

Troubleshooting procedures

This section outlines the procedures to follow when checking, or troubleshooting an installed 
FiberPatrol system. The initial steps in addressing a system malfunction are:

•

System inspection

•

Connections check

•

Sensor unit reboot

•

Documentation and reporting

Facility and Equipment Access 

Obtain the necessary permissions and means (keys, codes, etc.) to access the facility, the 
equipment room, and the equipment cabinet. 

System Inspection

Note the general conditions in the equipment room and rack enclosure, including:

•

Ambient temperature

•

Electrical power

•

The state of other equipment

•

Network and Internet connectivity

Sensor unit hardware check

Inspect the sensor unit and note the following:

•

General state (ON/OFF)

•

LED states (ON/OFF/Flashing)

•

Fan  noise

•

Beeping sounds

•

Other noises

•

Other abnormal indications

Sensor unit interface check

Use the rack-mount keyboard, monitor and mouse to access the sensor unit. Document any of the 
following display conditions: 

•

OFF (no video signal)

•

ON, but blank

•

Blue screen

•

Frozen with a BIOS screen
