Troubleshooting RedMAX Boot Issues
This section covers troubleshooting procedures for various hardware and software issues
which may affect the startup of the your RedMAX sector controllers.
AN100U/UX Does Not Power-up
The first step in troubleshooting power-up issues is to inspect the power source and all
related connections.
Verify that your AC and/or DC power supplies are able to meet the power demands for your
network configuration. Refer to the RedMAX Base Station Installation Guidelines foe
details of the power supply requirements.
AC Powered Devices
Step 1
If the unit has an AC power supply, check that the power cord is securely connected to both
the device and to the power bar or wall outlet.
Step 2
Verify that power cord is not the source of the failure, by replacing the existing cord with
another cord that you know is working. If the device is restarts and there are no issues,
then mark the defective power cord and discard it.
Step 3
If you are using a power bar, ensure the power cord is connected and that the power bar
is on.
Verify that the power bar is not the source of the failure, by connecting a different device
(your desk light, for example) to the same power bar port to which the AN100U/UX was
initially connected.
If your power bar has a fuse, ensure the fuse has not been blown. If the fuse has been
blown, disconnect all of the devices and reset the fuse. Add devices one at a time to ensure
the fuse does not blow again. If your power load exceeds the capacity of the power bar or
the outlet, you may need to use another power bar or split the electrical load over two
separate circuits.
Step 4
Check the power outlet. Ensure the power bar or the device cord is securely connected to
the power outlet.
Verify that the power outlet is not the source of the failure, by connecting a different device
(your desk light, for example) to the same power bar port to which the AN100U/UX was
initially connected.
Step 5
Ensure that you have not blown a fuse or breaker. The same considerations apply to the
power outlet as listed above for the power bar: disconnect all of the devices and reset the
fuse. Add devices one at a time to ensure the fuse does not blow again.
Use caution when connecting power-intensive devices such as air conditioners, heaters,
motors to your indoor circuits. To avoid power issues refer to the plans for your indoor
facility to ensure the existing circuits can support the required electrical load. It may
necessary to rewire some circuits in order to distribute the load effectively.
