shows the proper type of Ethernet cable to use with the radio

when connecting to external devices.

7.1.2 Troubleshooting Using the Embedded

Management System

If following the suggestions in

Table 7-1

does not resolve the problem,

there are additional tools and techniques that you can use. The
Embedded Management System is a good source of information that

Table 7-1. Symptom-Based Troubleshooting Using LEDs

Symptom

Possible Cause and Resolution

PWR LED does not
turn on.

a. The voltage is too low, or is the wrong polarity. Check for

the proper supply voltage at the power connector
(6–30 Vdc). See

Figure 2-4 on Page 20

for polarity details.

b. This is a transient condition. Cycle the power and wait

approximately 30 sec for the radio to restart. Recheck for
normal operation.

LINK LED does not
turn on.

a. The Remote network address does not match the desired

AP. Verify that the system has a unique network address.

b. The Remote is not yet associated with a transceiver having

the same network address. Use the

RADIO

command to

check the status of the process of associating the radio
with the AP.

c. Poor antenna system. Check the antenna, feedline, and

connectors. Reflected power should be less than 10% of
the forward power reading (SWR 2:1 or lower). Also, check
for the proper heading of the directional antennas as
described in

Aiming Directive Antennas for Maximum RSSI

on Page 162.

PWR LED is
blinking.

The radio is reporting an alarm condition. View the current
alarms and the Event Log. Correct the problem if possible
(

see

“Using Logged Operation Events”

on Page 172

Blinking continues until the source of the alarm is corrected
(for example, a valid IP address is entered, and so on).

LAN/ETH LED
does not turn on.

a. Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected at both ends.

b. Verify that the proper type of Ethernet cable

(straight-through or crossover) is used. See

Table 7-2

for

the proper cable type.

COM1 or COM2
LED does not show
traffic.

Check the configuration of the COM port and the remote serial
gateway settings.
