Check the channel configuration:
Use the
CHANNEL
command on each radio to make sure the radios are both using the same common channel.
Make sure the remote radio is using the
AUTO
channel control mode.
Check to make sure the Base radio has a local channel configured.
Check to make sure the base beacons are enabled:
On the Base radio, use the
BBEACON
command and ensure that base beacons are configured for the common
channel.
Check to make sure base beacons are transmitted and received:
On both the Base radio and the remote radio, enable the
IDLE
trace by using the command
TRACE,ON,IDLE
.
Ensure that you see an ITCBB trace from the Base radio at approximately the rate configured in the
BBEACON
command.
Check that the remote is receiving the base beacons. They are shown with a similar trace.
Note:
Heavy tracing can affect radio performance. Do not leave traces running at the site.
