Questions
Q - My receiver doesn’t appear to be communicating, what do I do?
A - This could be one of a few issues:
1. Examine the cables and connectors for signs of damage.
2. Ensure that you are properly powering the system with the correct
voltage.
3. Since you’re required to terminate the power input with your choice
of connector, ensure that you have made a good connection to the
power supply.
4. Check the documentation of the receiving device, if not a PC
computer to ensure that the transmit line from the receiver is
connected to the receive line of the other device. Also ensure that
the signal grounds are connected.
5. If the receiver is connected to a custom or special device, ensure
that the serial connection to it does not have any incompatible signal
lines present that may not allow either to communicate properly.
6. Make sure that the baud rate of the receiver matches the other
device. The other device must also support an 8 data bit, 1 stop bit,
and no parity port configuration (8-N-1). Some devices support
different settings that may be user-configurable. Ensure that the
settings match.
7. Consult the troubleshooting section of the other devices reference
manual to determine if there may be a problem with that equipment.
