4. Does the FE260 have the option "Local interface" (optical interface) ?
→
If so, follow all the instructions in Chapter 4.4 from page 23 onwards.
5. Does the volume corrector display the status message " Call Win.1" or " Call Win.2" ?
(Message "16" in the status "St.1" or "St.2")
→
Calls can only occur within one of the time windows. If none of the above messages
are displayed, set the time window according to your requirements. You can set the
time window with the values "CW1.S", "CW1.E", "CW2.S", "CW2.E" in the display
column "Ser.IO" of the volume corrector.
6. Is the modem parameterisation in the FE260 correct ?
→
The modem must be suitably parameterised for the parameter "Md.S2" in the
volume corrector: With "Md.S2 = 5" the modem accepts calls automatically, with
"Md.S2 = 3" it does not. If the FE260 is fitted with the option "Local interfaces" or
"CL interface", the modem must accept the calls automatically.
→
If a modem has been retrofitted, which was intended for a different device (e.g.
DL240), the modem parameterisation may need to be changed.
7. When "Md.S2" in the volume corrector is set to "3": Does the signal "online" on the
housing cover of the FE260 illuminate or flash ?
→
If not, check whether you have entered the correct telephone number for the call in
your data recall software (e.g. "WindPADS" or "WinCOMS"). A telephone exchange
may also require a leading zero.
Only when using a cordless radio modem (GSM modem):
If the FE260 "online" signal slowly flashes, the following possible faults are eliminated and
do not need to be checked.
Otherwise, check the following points:
8.
Is the antenna correctly connected to the modem ?
→
Insert the antenna connection firmly into the modem.
9.
Is a suitable SIM card inserted into the modem ?
→
To operate the modem you need a SIM card from your provider (e.g. D1 or D2
network) with the following properties:
- Release for data transmission via GSM modem
- PIN interrogation switched off
A "normal" SIM card for mobile telephones cannot be used.
10. Is the mobile radio network (GSM network) strong enough ?
→
Check whether the data transmission functions correctly when you mount the
FE260 at another point or connect an external antenna.
11. Are there interference sources in the vicinity of the FE260 or the antenna ?
→
Check whether the data transmission functions correctly when you mount the
antenna at another point (this may need to be repeated).
