The IP Address of the radio connected to the configuration PC is automatically
displayed.

Note:

Full network diagnostics are available only when you are connected to the Master radio. If

you are connected to a Remote or a Repeater radio, you are only able to retrieve status

information for the radio to which you are currently connected.

The f

ollowing is the ControlScape FH’s graphical representation of a network

with intact communication links. The functioning RF communication links are
represented as solid colored lines.

The colored lines indicate the signal strength of each radio. If any of the
communication links show red dashed lines, then see Troubleshooting Missing
Radios (page 55).
