8.2  SERIAL TERMINAL TROUBLESHOOTING

SITUATION

ACTION

Cannot connect the D2O to the Serial 

Terminal

 

software

• 

Ensure the 

4-Pin M12 to USB-A Cable 

is properly connected to the D2O with the M12 

threaded connection fully fastened

• 

Ensure the USB-A connector of the 

4-Pin M12 to USB-A Cable

 is directly connected to 

an active port on the Computer, avoiding the use of USB hubs or other intermediate 

connections

• 

Ensure the USB-A port of the Computer is capable of supplying at least 500mA of current

• 

Remove all other USB connections from the Computer (except mouse and keyboard) to 

remove potential port conflicts

• 

Ensure that the Computer has its USB ports available (not blocked by an administrator or 

security setting) and that the Serial Terminal

 

software has appropriate permissions to run

• 

Ensure the correct COM Port is selected in the Serial Terminal software.  Experiment with 

different ports if the D2O’s Port is not obvious

• 

Review the 

“SERIAL TERMINAL SETTINGS”

 section to ensure the Serial Terminal software’s 

connection settings are correct.

• 

If problems persist please contact your support representative for more detailed 

assistance

The D2O is connected to the Serial Terminal 

software, but is not responding

• 

Repeatedly press the 

Enter

 key until a Chevron 

>

 appears in the Serial Terminal software 

as more than one press is required to wake the D2O from sleep mode

• 

If no Chevron appears, continue intermittently pressing the 

Enter

 key over the next 30 

seconds as the D2O may be busy performing synchronisation tasks with the satellite 

network

• 

If problems persist please contact your support representative for more detailed 

assistance

The parameter values shown on the 

Commissioning Report do not appear to 

match the data being recorded by the D2O

• 

Ensure that changes made to the 

Admin Restricted

 parameters of 

acq

 and 

inp

 

commands are applied and executed by running the 

apply

 command.  The 

Commissioning Report will show the modified values for 

acq

 and 

inp

 commands 

even if they have not been applied, however the D2O system will not incorporate those 

changes in its normal operation until the 

apply

 command has been executed

Require a list of all available CLI commands

• 

Once a Chevron 

>

 is shown, type 

help

 into the Serial Terminal software to see a full list 

of available CLI commands
