LED
Description
Run
When the SlotServer is powered up, this light will start flashing after
approximately 2 minutes. If this light does not flash, it is an indication that the
firmware is not running, and that the SlotServer will not be operating.
LonSvc
This LED indicates LonWorks activity. Refer to Figure 3.
NodeOff
This light indicates that a device bound to the SlotServer on the LonWorks network
is not communicating. Use the LonWorks Network Manager to troubleshoot the
problem.
Conf Err
This light indicates an error in the configuration of the card. Since this model is
shipped pre-configured, this light should never come on unless the card
configuration is tampered with
Sys Err
This light indicates that an unexpected operation state occurred. The light can be
reset by cycling power to the card. If the error re-occurs persistently, then contact
FieldServer Technical support for assistance with troubleshooting after setting up
the trade port as shown in Appendix A.
Com Err
This light indicates that a communication error occurred. Use the LonWorks
Network Manager to troubleshoot the problem, or refer to the SlotServer
configuration Manual.
RS-485
(R1)
These lights are related to the RS-485 serial ports provided on the SlotServer. The
Rx (Receive) light will flash red if the FieldServer is receiving data. The Tx
(Transmit) light will flash red if the FieldServer is sending data. (Note that due to
the nature of 2-wire RS-485 the Rx light will flash every time the Tx light flashes
too). The frequency of the flashing is directly related to the frequency of data
transfer.
The LonWorks Service pin can be used for commissioning the SlotServer
into a LonWorks network.
