Troubleshooting
The table below and continued on the next page provides corrective action for
possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron
customer service representative.
NOTE:
To minimize system diagnostics and troubleshooting, Crestron recommends
defining the touchpanel as a wired unit in SIMPL Windows, then test functionality as
a wired network device prior to testing the STRFGWX transceiver operations. This
will help in determining whether there is a programming problem, an RF setting
conflict, or RF interference in the environment.
NOTE:
The diagram shown on page 21 is a typical “wired” hookup.
