TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION PROBLEMS

If you fail to connect to a system from a hardware receiver, check the following to pinpoint the problem:

¥Do not connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver to receiver).

¥Make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping command as described above).

TROUBLESHOOTING THE VIDEO CONNECTION

If no video or a distorted video image is displayed at the receiver during a connection to a transmitter:

¥Make sure to use the right unit for your application: a camera can be connected only to a transmitter, never to a receiver.

¥Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the transmitter.

¥Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera to check that the camera is functioning correctly.

¥At the receiving system, make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the receiver.

¥Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel, if the monitor features more than one video channel.

¥If the monitor can display only a single video standard (PAL or NTSC), check the setting of the video output format on the Video Settings configuration page.
