3.1
Check the Ethernet cable
If you connect a radio and the Ethernet LED does not light on the radio, there
may be a problem with the Ethernet cable. Verify that the cable is plugged into
the radio at one end, and to an Ethernet hub or a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch
at the other end.
Note:
The RLXIB-IHW radio auto-detects the Ethernet connection type, and does not require a
crossover cable for direct connection to a PC.
3.2 LED
display
The RLXIB-IHW front panel includes a set of LEDs that indicate the radio’s
status:
LED Description
Power
This green LED indicates that the radio has power.
RF Transmit
This yellow LED indicates RF transmission.
RF Receive
This green LED indicates RF reception.
Serial
If this green LED is lit, the serial cable is connected. If this LED is flashing, a
serial packet is being transmitted or received (The serial port is not available in
the first release of the radio).
Ethernet
If this green LED is lit, the Ethernet cable is connected. If this LED is flashing, an
Ethernet packet is being transmitted or received.
Signal Strength
If only one of these three LEDs is lit, then the radio is linked. If two LEDs are lit,
the radio’s signal strength is fair. If all three LEDs are lit, the signal strength is
good.
If a radio is configured as a master, the middle light of the three Signal Strength
LEDs will always be on, and the bottom Signal Strength LED will always be off.
The top LED on the master will flash if any radios are linked to this master.
