Appendix A

Troubleshooting

Use the following checklist to troubleshoot anomalous

Axis

receiver operation. Table 1 provides a problem symptom,
followed by a list of possible solutions.

Symptom

Possible Solution

Receiver fails to
power

• Check that the power LED is illuminated
• Ensure that batteries are properly charged and

connected

No data from Axis

receiver

• Check receiver power status (PWR LED

illuminated?)

• Verify that Axis receiver is locked to a valid

correction source (DGPS LED Illuminated)

• Verify that Axis receiver is locked to GPS

satellites (GPS LED illuminated)

• Check integrity and connectivity of power and

data cable connections

Random data from

Axis

receiver

• Verify baud rate settings of Axis receiver and

data collector

No GPS lock

• Check integrity of antenna cable
• Verify Axis antenna unobstructed view of the sky
• Verify antenna cable length < 10 meters
• Ensure secure antenna connection
• Ensure secure Axis connection

No Beacon lock

• Check antenna cable connections on both

antenna and Axis

• Verify MSK rate is set correctly

Low SNR

• Check integrity of antenna connections
• Select alternate antenna position
