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.
