5.0 Troubleshooting

 

 

Below is a listing of several problems that may arise during the installation & operation of the modules.  If you 
are having difficulty installing or operating the modules please refer to this list below.   
 

Problem

:  

Module does not fit in chassis slots 

Action: 

Check module orientation.  Meridian “Globe” must be oriented on the top left hand side of the 
module 

 

 

Make sure the card guides in the chassis are aligned with the extrusion on the module 

Problem

Card power LED does not light when power to the module/subrack is applied or power indicator 
turns on and off 

Action

Check power supply to ensure that it is plugged in and turned on.  If flashing continues, move 
module to another chassis or location in the same chassis, if available. 

Problem:

 

No Video

 

Action: 

1 - Check the modem locations to ensure that the RGB-T module is connected to the video 
source (computer, camera, etc) while the receiver module (RGB-R) is connected to the video 
output device (monitor, etc.)

 

 

 

2 – Check to ensure that the modules are in the proper mode of operation (RGB or DVI) – 
onboard switch #1 (see section 3.4) 

 
If the problem still persists after reviewing the above items, please contact Meridian technical support (516-285-
1000).
