Wireless Validation
Overview
System validation allows you to affirm that all work to this point has resulted in a successful installation and
complete wireless functionality.
You will first verify the installed
TGX™ Gateway
is receiving power, and, if it is not, identify possible causes
and remedies. After power is verified, functionality of cellular then satellite will be validated along with iNet
Now and GPS. To support wireless verification, identify ahead of time a site that meets the requirements
noted below.
•
GPS requires an unobstructed view of the sky above.
•
Satellite requires an unobstructed view of the sky above and of the surrounding horizon; avoid
obstructions (e.g., buildings) that can block wireless signals.
System validation requires that the Ventis Pro have no connection to iNet Control
other than
through the
installed TGX Gateway. To achieve this, take these precautions:
•
Keep all other gateway units (TGX or RGX) well out of Ventis Pro range (100 m or 109 yd).
•
Do
not
equip the Ventis Pro with a wireless battery; if no other battery is available, turn off
the battery’s
wireless setting using instrument settings.
Power On
Start the vehicle engine to power on the installed TGX Gateway, which requires 10 VDC for start-up and 12
VDC for operation. The TGX will complete its start-up process, boot its operating system, and make its
wireless connections, all within two to six minutes.
Important:
When initially powering on the TGX, for proper operation, be sure to wait the recommended
two to six minutes
for the
unit to receive an initial time update
before
connecting any LENS devices.
