Troubleshooting

6.1 No Connection to the AIMS Server.

If the AIMS client is not connected follow the instructions listed in Error! Reference source

not found.. Be sure that the correct IP address and Port number are entered on the Network tab.

If all settings are correct and no connection can be established;

1. Open a command window and use ping to check the communication link to the AIMS

Server, enter ‘Ping’ followed by a space and the IP address for the server.

2. Check the IP configuration of the client computer by typing “ipconfig” in the command

window. The client (or local) machine running the AIMS Client software should have an

IP address similar to AIMS Server.

3. If the local machine and radar can be pinged, use Remote Desktop to connect to the

Radar. Be sure that the AIMS Server application is running. Start the application if it is

not.

4. If no communication to the Radar is possible, but local PC appears to be functioning

normally, you may need to cycle the power to the Radar (a last resort).

6.2 The AIMS Server crashes.

This may happen if the AIMS Server application was restarted and there are erroneous values in

the default parameter set file.

1. Connect to the AIMS Server using Remote Desktop.

2. Delete the SrvrSet.txt file located in the DMTLLC folder in the root directory (normally

c:\DMTLLC\SrvrSet.txt)

3. Restart the application.

6.3 I’m getting too many False Alarms

This happens when one or more parameters have been set incorrectly, if the environment has

changed significantly since installing the system, or if a man-made or object in nature begins to

suddenly move dramatically.

There are several ways to control False Alarms:

– Set Range properly (

e Scripted Mode when possible)

– Set Gain properly (Default set at installation)

– Set Sensitivity (Default set at installation)

– Set Clutter Cancellation (Clutter X):

• Used to create a clutter notch (eliminates frequencies around 0 hertz)
