Appendix 3: Using the TS Wireless option (IR)
When a wireless link breaks
When the wireless link breaks:
•
The light on one or both of the transceivers turns amber.
•
Data stops flowing between your whiteboard and your computer.
•
Your Webster software may give you an error message.
The Webster software error message can appear even when both
transceiver lights are green. This means that one of the two transceivers
has come unplugged from the serial connection on the board or the PC or
that the board itself has lost power.
Re-establishing a broken link
It is possible to break the link in several ways. The two most obvious ways
are to cover one of the transceivers or to unplug one of the transceivers
from power. It is also possible to break the link by “shadowing” one of the
transceivers. Because you can’t see IR light, you can’t see a shadow in the
IR light being sent from one transceiver to another. A shadow usually
occurs when a large object, like a person, is placed very close to one of the
transceivers so it cannot see or bounce light off of the ceiling.
Remove the cause of the broken link and the link will automatically restore
itself. The troubleshooting section gives you a list of symptoms, probable
causes and cures for broken links.
