C.1 Troubleshooting
Q1: Why is the Error LED blinking?
A1:
1. The Coordinator is not hosting a PAN yet. The PAN ID and Channel might be
occupied by another Coordinators. Change to different PAN ID and Channel in
initial mode.
2. The Router/End Device is not joining a PAN. Check if there is a coordinator with
specified PAN ID and Channel to join.
3. Battery level is low.
Q2: Why does the amber LED on Coordinator automatically add a count in initial
mode?
A2: The Coordinator will automatically add the Pair ID while there is another Coordi-
nator nearby and can be detected.
Q3: What are the functions of the amber LEDs in Router and End Device?
A3:
1. Press side button 1 time for LQI.
2. Press side button 2 times for battery level.
3. Press side button 5 times to change the Pair ID to associate with the specified
Pair ID coordinator.
Q4: Why are all the amber LEDs on coordinator blinking while operating in initial
mode?
A4: Four Pair ID can be selected in initial mode of coordinators. If there are five coor-
dinators set in initial mode at the same time, the last one will blink to indicate there
are no available Pair ID to use.
Q5: Does the ADAM-2520Z support the HW/SW flow control of serial communica-
tion?
A5: The ADAM-2520Z does not support the HW/SW flow control and the user appli-
cation/software must turn off the HW/SW flow control.
Q6: Can I use the recharging battery as the ADAM-2000 series power input?
A6: The ADAM-2000 can use the Alkaline battery only. Besides, the Alkaline battery
will not be charged while using the external power.
Q7. Does the utility support Microsoft Windows 7 32 & 64 bit versions?
A7. At present it just supports the 32bit version. A 64bit version will be released soon.
