8 Trouble Shooting
This chapter will assist you for troubleshooting. For debugging circumstances it might be
helpful to install a terminal program to analyze the system.
8.1 Programs
8.1.1 Terminal Program
A Terminal program is useful for analyzing the system. The recommended terminal program
is RealTerm. It is Open Source Software and can be downloaded from the webpage
http://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm. Install the program on your PC.
8.1.2 Command Window (only for LPR-B Station with TCP/IP interface)
The easiest way to check a connection between a LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface and
your PC/network is the command window. The command window is preinstalled in the
operating system Windows. Click on the window button Start Enter cmd and
click on OK.
8.1.3 Telnet (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface)
A short way to check the functionality of the LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface is Telnet.
Telnet is preinstalled in the operating system Windows. Click on the window button Start
Enter telnet IP-address Port and click on OK. E.g. enter telnet 192.168.1.99 3045
to open the configuration port of the LPR-B station with IP-address 192.168.1.99 and the port
3045.
8.1.4 Browser (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface)
A webbrowser is necessary to make all settings of the LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface.
You can make network settings as well as settings for the protocol.
8.1.5 Network Scanner (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface)
A network scanner like the program SoftPerfect
(http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/) is for analyzing your network useful.
8.2 Hardware
The following additional hardware is useful:
Serial Cable less than 2 meters (if there is a LPR-B station without TCP/IP interface )
LAN-cable (if there is LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface)
USB -RS232 converter (if there is no COM-port at your computer)
8.3 Connection to the LPR-B station with RS232 interface
If you have a station without TCP/IP interface you only can connect your PC via the RS232
interface to the LPR-B station. For the connection you need a RS232 cable which should be
less than 2 meters. A longer cable cannot guarantee a trouble-free transmission of data
between the LPR-B station and the PC.
