2.12 Notes and Troubleshooting Tips
•
Ensure that matching details entered at the ADPRO VideoCentral AND at the site
equipment are IDENTICAL.
•
If using a serial port connection, check the port configuration in the PC is set for the correct
speed and data configuration to match the modem type used.
•
If using a network connection, ensure the TCP/IP address and subnet mask are correct.
2.12.1 Setting the Date and Time
The ADPRO FastTx uses a stable internal clock that is based on UTC (Coordinated Universal
Time). Date and time settings of the unit operate in a way that is similar to a PC and a 'Time
Zone' value is provided in the
Date
/
Time Settings
option of the
Connection
menu /
Installer
Menu
option (refer to
Date/Time Settings
on page 56).
To ensure correct operation, the Time Zone value should be configured prior to any date or time
changes being made.
2.12.2 Front Panel LED
When power is first applied to the ADPRO FastTx unit, the red LED on the front of the unit will be
on. After approximately 60 seconds, the red LED should start switching on, then off, every two
seconds. Once the unit successfully completes the integrity check, the red LED will switch off,
and remain off.
If at any time during operation, the red LED switches on and stays on, this signifies a fault with
the unit and technical support is required.
2.13 ADPRO FastTx Connection Details Lost
If for any reason, the operational Site ID, password or network address for a ADPRO FastTx is
lost, use the following procedure to override the communication settings and restore this
information.
1.
Set the ADPRO FastTx's DIP Switch 7 (on the rear panel) to the 'ON' position.
2.
Power cycle the unit. This will override to the following settings:
-
Site ID: FASTRACE
-
Password: FT2222
-
Network Address: 192.168.1.1
-
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
3.
Connect a crossover network cable or the null modem (serial) cable between the unit and a
PC running ADPRO VideoCentral.
4.
There should be a ADPRO FastTx Default Site in
Database
/
Administration
/
Site Details
with details that match the Site Details as described in point 2 above.
5.
Modify the ADPRO VideoCentral settings (
Database
/
Administration
/
Site Details
) for
the connection type as follows:
-
(NETWORK connection) - Set 'Connection Type' = Network and 'IP Address' =
192.168.1.1
