7.2 Configuration using link unit
7.2.1 No response (response not yet received), or occurrence of ille-
gal characters
In normal communication status, the STATUS indicators will appear as follows:
Check the following points based on the states of STATUS indicators on a link unit that has failed to
communicate.
■
Inability to communicate with any link unit
*1 A situation where the STATUS indicator intermittently lights and turns off though no command is cur-
rently being transmitted.
■
Inability to communicate with particular link unit (communication service is still
possible with certain link unit)
*2 For further details, see Sec. 2.3.2(1) Upstream controller connection port specifications.
