Controller-Assisted Tuning
cannot be Performed
If controller-assisted tuning cannot be performed, a
message indicating the cause is posted on the
service configurator. Instances the software
recognizes are:
• Tx set to off in the service configurator
• Tx inhibit active
• Auto line delay not ready
• Key switch turned to off (locked).
Another possible cause of controller-assisted
tuning failures is a mismatch between the address
switch on the antenna cap board and the antenna
connector on the AMS-9040 (for example, setting
the address switch on the antenna cap board to 3
when the antenna Tx/Rx cable is connected to the
first connector). Controller-assisted tuning will not
work but no error message will be displayed.
Once the CE has turned the transmitter on,
controller-assisted tuning can be performed.
Local Diagnostics
You can troubleshoot and change controller
parameters using your laptop computer and
AMS-9040 service configurator software.
The following hardware is required:
• Service cable with a male RJ-10/22 phone
connector on one end and a male RJ-11/12
connector on the other
• DB-9-to-RJ-11/12 connector.
How to Connect Cables
1. Connect the DB-9-to-RJ-11/12 connector to the
DB-9 serial port on your laptop computer. Only
pins 2, 3, and 5 are used.
2. Connect the RJ-11/12 connector of the service
cable to the DB-9 connector and the RJ-10/22
connector on its other end to the RS-232
service port (RJ-10/22) on the controller.
