Problems Communicating With RF Network Devices (continued)

Problem

Solution

The Network Connect icon blinks on the terminal screen and you see this message:

Unable to connect to controller. Error 102.

Unable to establish connection to host. Session ended.

The 2435 is connected to the access point but is trying to establish communications with the DCS 30X and the host computer. Make sure the terminal is correctly configured for your network. In a UDP Plus network, make sure the DCS 30X is configured and data collection is started. In a TCP/IP network, make sure the host computer is configured and running.

If the network is configured correctly, try shutting down and restarting the DCS 30X to establish communications. You can also reset the terminal. For help, see “Resetting the Terminal” on page 4-19.

The Network Connect icon is on, but you cannot establish a terminal emulation session with the host computer.

There may be a problem with the host computer, a problem with the connection between the DCS 30X and the host computer, or a problem with the connection between the access point and the host (TCP/IP). Check with your network administrator to make sure the host is running and allowing users to login to the system.

The Network Connect icon is on, but the host computer is not receiving any data from the 2435.

The 2435 is connected to the DCS 30X or host computer, and you move to a new site to collect data. The Network Connect icon was on and now begins to blink or turns off.

You are sending and receiving information through the network, and the terminal appears to be operating slowly.

In a UDP Plus network, there may be a problem with the connection between the DCS 30X and the host computer. Check with your network administrator or use the user’s manual for the DCS 30X to troubleshoot any potential problems with the server.

In a TCP/IP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the access point and the host computer. Check with your network administrator or use your access point user’s manual to trouble shoot any potential problems with the access point.

You may have gone out of range of an access point. Try moving closer to an access point or to a different location to re-establish communications. Once you are in range again, the Network Connect icon will appear and remain on. Any data you collected while you were out of range will be transmitted over the network.

The terminal may be configured for the 5x6, 6x8, or 12x16 font type. These font type values may cause the 243X to scroll, and therefore operate, more slowly when it displays information on the screen. Change the font type to a value other than 5x6, 6x8, or 12x16. For help, see “Display Font Type” or “Display Spacing” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual. If the terminal continues to operate slowly, contact your local Intermec service representative for help.
