If not, check the DCE/DTE switch on that unit. Once

simultaneously the RD LED should flash on the other
SHM-B unit. If not, go to step 2.
2. Inspect the wiring between the two modems. Have the
wires been properly installed? Tr (TX+) on
one modem must be wired to R (RX+) on the
other modem; also, Transmit - (TX-) must be wired to
Receive - (RX-). Refer to Figure 2 during your
inspection of the four-wire circuit.
3. Try a local test using the Loopback mode (see
Chapter 4
). If there is no transfer, check the setting of
S1 and the wiring of your EIA-232 cable.
4. The EIA-232 control signals are at the wrong levels.
Check the EIA-232 interface using a breakout box.

• a defective transmission line or connection
• a defective remote SHM-B
