LED

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

When the SlotServer is powered up, this light will start flashing after

 

Run

 

 

approximately 2 minutes. If this light does not flash, it is an indication that the

 

 

 

 

 

firmware is not running, and that the SlotServer will not be operating.

 

LonSvc

 

 

This LED indicates LonWorks activity. Refer to Figure 3.

 

 

 

 

 

This light indicates that a device bound to the SlotServer on the LonWorks network

 

NodeOff

 

 

is not communicating. Use the LonWorks Network Manager to troubleshoot the

 

 

 

 

 

problem.

 

 

 

 

 

This light indicates an error in the configuration of the card. Since this model is

 

Conf Err

 

 

shipped pre-configured, this light should never come on unless the card

 

 

 

 

 

configuration is tampered with

 

 

 

 

 

This light indicates that an unexpected operation state occurred. The light can be

 

Sys Err

 

 

reset by cycling power to the card. If the error re-occurs persistently, then contact

 

 

 

FieldServer Technical support for assistance with troubleshooting after setting up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the trade port as shown in Appendix A.

 

 

 

 

 

This light indicates that a communication error occurred. Use the LonWorks

 

Com Err

 

 

Network Manager to troubleshoot the problem, or refer to the SlotServer

 

 

 

 

 

configuration Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

These lights are related to the RS-485 serial ports provided on the SlotServer. The

 

 

 

 

 

Rx (Receive) light will flash red if the FieldServer is receiving data. The Tx

 

RS-485

 

 

(Transmit) light will flash red if the FieldServer is sending data. (Note that due to

 

(R1)

 

 

the nature of 2-wire RS-485 the Rx light will flash every time the Tx light flashes

 

 

 

 

 

too). The frequency of the flashing is directly related to the frequency of data

 

 

 

 

 

transfer.
