General Troubleshooting
(continued)
Symptom:
When the gateway is switched on without a WNTD antenna plugged in, only one
Battery Voltage LED is lit, despite being fully charged.
This is a known issue, which I didn
’
t pick up until releasing a few units from manufacture.
The gateway is stuck in a loop waiting for the WNTD antenna to send its data. It
’
s so busy,
that it forgets to update the battery voltage LEDs (also, I
’
m shit)
Symptom:
When connected via WiFi, the screen occasionally pauses for up to ten seconds
without updating, before resuming as normal
Occasionally, something may interfere with your WiFi signal resulting in a momentary loss
of reception. The software on the microprocessor within the gateway makes a copy of each
RF Qualification page, and beams it over to your phone in small chunks, so as not to flood it
with data.
If you happen to lose connectivity while receiving a chunk of data, the microprocessor will
enter into a fail-safe mode, where it will wait up to ten seconds for your connection to
stabilize, before trying to transmit the data again.
If all else fails, disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi usually does the trick.
Symptom:
After the WNTD antenna boots, the RF qualification page is not displayed, only
a page showing the battery percentage and
FIFO: 4096/4096
–
without anything else at
all
Ericsson have likely updated the firmware on the WNTD antennas to
‘
talk
’
at a higher speed
on the console port. Try connecting via USB instead of WiFi momentarily.
If USB works as intended, please email
urgently with a
screenshot of the issue, as well as a screenshot of everything working via USB (such that
the version number is showing in the qualification page)
