 Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

  

+

Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding

+

Pilot Lite and CCS applications such as Navigator or Pilot cannot run 

on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but 
only one can be opened at a time.

+

Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing 

in the Control Window

Consider these questions:

Did you physically set the jumper for local control? If so, set this 
jumper to the REM position for remote control.

Does the card name in the control window physically match the 
card type in the frame? 

Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the positioning 
of the module in its slot in the frame.

Does the Control window indicate the device is “ready”? The 
device may be powered off or disconnected from the network.

+

Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports “Not Ready”

+

Pilot Lite reports each device’s connection status in the status bar. If 

the connection status message reads “Not Ready,” check the following:

Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the position of 
the module in the frame.

Is the frame connected to the network? Check the device’s network 
connection.

If the status bar

 

still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or 

device, try restarting 

+

Pilot Lite. 

CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does 

Not Communicate with Module

CCS software applications (such as Pilot, CoPilot, and Navigator) and 
remote control panels require the purchase and installation of an 
ICE6800

+

 module in an FR6802

+

 frame in order to communicate 

remotely via Ethernet.
