Chapter 3: Maintaining the ITS 1.4 GHz Core Access Point
Maintenance Procedure
To ensure that IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4 GHz Core Access Point (AP) and
Remote Antenna (RA) continue to operate properly, you should perform the following
maintenance tasks periodically:
• V
entilation - The IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4 GHz Core Access Point and RA
cases are vented to provide air circulation and cooling for the devices. Keep the
immediate area around the AP and RA open to allow for natural air circulation
around the devices. Periodically, dust the AP and RA cases to keep their
ventilation holes open.
• A
ntenna Orientation - Under normal operation the AP or RA antennas may get
bumped by cleaning crews and/or construction crews and causing the
antennas to move from their original position set at installation.
Periodically check the antennas on all of the APs and RAs at the installation site
for correct orientation, alignment, direction, and placement. If necessary,
loosen the collar on the antenna and adjust the antenna for proper placement,
orientation, and direction. Then, re-tighten the antenna collar to secure the
antenna in place. Generally, you should orient the two local antennas on each
Core AP and RA such that they are perpendicular to the floor.
Troubleshooting the Core AP Using its LEDs
Complete test and inspection procedures for the IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4
GHz Core Access Point are given in Chapter 5 of the IntelliVue Telemetry System
Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide. You must perform these procedures
when the Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System is initially installed and after any
service event.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the ITS 1.4 GHz Core Access Point LEDs.
A summary of the Core AP’s system status LEDs is given below to help you
troubleshoot any AP operational problems that may arise.
The ITS Core AP provides the following status LEDs.
• W
ired/Ethernet Activity - The Core AP provides two LEDs to indicate wired/
Ethernet activity to the ITS infrastructure. During normal operation, these LEDs
indicate the following information:
