4.4.1 Initial Test of the IP Interface
Module(s)
Before You Begin: Ensure the IP interface and
other items have been set up as described in
Chapter 2 and/or 3, as applicable.
1) Ensure the IP interface board is
powered up, and the "Network
Connection" LED’s operating as
described in Sect
4.2. If they are not
working,
check network link, cable, and
plug(s).
2) 'Pinging' the IP address of the IP
interface board is a good / basic test:
(Pinging procedure described in Sect. 2.3,
Step 2)
a) For PC
Panel communications go to
the PC running the Director
communications
software, and ping the
IP address of the interface board. You
should get a successful response
within
≈2 sec.
b) For central monitoring with IP, ping the
interface IP from the SIP Receiver PC.
3) If the interface board can only be
'pinged' from a PC on its local LAN (not
through a WAN connection), check to
ensure that the 'default gateway' and
'netmask' values configured for the IP
board are correct as seen from
its
segment of the network
(To view or change these settings,
refer to section 2.3).
4) If you cannot ping the interface at all,
check for:
• Network cable not plugged in, or
faulty cabling;
• Server or WAN problems (routers
down, firewalls blocking
communications).
Network Reliability: IP connectivity is subject to
network reliability. Check to see if other network
aspects are 'down'. Network troubleshooting
should be done by persons trained in this. If you
cannot successfully ping the IP interface board,
get help from your network service person as
needed.
5) If the 'ping' is successful, you can
proceed to the following sections, as
applicable.
Ensure you are aware of any security features
that have been enabled. For details on a specific
security feature, refer to section 4.3.
4.4.2 Troubleshooting IPPanel
Communications
Before You Begin: Ensure you can 'ping' the IP
interface board as described in section 4.4.1.
1) Check Your IP board Wiring. All
connections must be correct and
secure. For
PCPanel wiring, and
Central Monitoring with SIP refer to
section 4.2.
2)
Director Configuration Issues:
• Ensure the communications client
software is running;
• Check all Director communications
settings (for details, see section
2.4).
3) Check IP Interface LED’s.
(LED Reference
: See section 4.2).
For IP Interface Module connections, if
a communications session has been
initiated at the Director PC, the green
Dir RX LED should pulse repeatedly
indicating that data is being received
from ISM / AFx Director. If the green
LED is not pulsing at all, go to step
4. If
the red Dir TX LED is pulsing, this
means the panel understands the
incoming message from ISM / AFx
Director and is responding. If the red
LED is not pulsing, go to step
5.
Otherwise, go to step
6.
4) Status LED’s look dead. Re-check the
IP Interface network settings (IP
address, default gateways), Panel
settings, Sect.
2.3. Director settings
Sect.
2.4. SIP settings sect. 3.3 and SIP
Director settings Sect.
3.4, in a very
detailed manner.
Status information pertaining to SIP
Reporting is available from viewing the
poll and response IP Receiver Program
debug screen mentioned under “Buttons”
Sect. 3.5.4 or through an LCD keypad,
Sect. 4.6.
