good source of information that may be used remotely to provide pre-
liminary diagnostic information, or may even provide a path to cor-
recting the problem.
Table 7-3. Basic Troubleshooting with the entraNET MS
Symptom Problem/Recommended System Checks
Remote does not
connect
a. Verify the AP has sufficiently large number in the “Max
Remotes” parameter of the Network Configuration Menu.
b. If “Approved Remotes” is enabled on the Security
Configuration menu (at the AP), verify the correct serial
number is listed in the Approved Remotes List.
c. On the Remote, if “Restrict” is turned on in the APLIST
command, verify the Access Point is included in the list of
Approved APs.
Cannot access the
entraNET AP Menu
(through COM1)
a. If the unit is an AP, connect via Telnet or Web browser
b. Disable the serial mode for COM1
(Serial Gateway Configuration>Com1 Serial Data
Port>Status>Disabled)
Or, if you know the unit’s data configuration:
a. Connect to COM 1 via a terminal set to VT100 and the
port’s data baud rate.
b. Type “+++ [ENTER]”
c. Change the terminal’s baud rate to match the transceiver’s
Console Baud Rate.
d. Type “+++ [ENTER]”
Cannot access the
Remote’s
command interface
a. Connect to the AP’s menu and manage the Remote via the
Serial Configuration menu. Check the configuration for
COM1 or 2, as applicable.
Display on
terminal/Telnet
screen garbled
a. Verify the terminal/terminal emulator or Telnet application
is set to VT100. Restart terminal program.
Cannot pass IP
data to WAN.
a. Verify the AP’s IP settings.
b. Use the PING command to test communication with the AP
and endpoints connected to Remote radios in the local
radio system.
c. If successful with local PING, attempt to PING an IP unit
attached to a radio.
d. If successful with the LAN PINGs, try connecting to a
known unit in the WAN.
Wireless Retries
too high.
Possible Radio Frequency Interference—
a. If omnidirectional antennas are used, consider changing to
directional antennas. This will often limit interference to and
from other stations.
b. Try skipping some zones where persistent interference is
suspected or packets-per-zone are disparate.
c. The installation of a filter in the antenna feedline may be
necessary. Consult the factory for further assistance.
Password
forgotten.
a. Connect to the transceiver using a terminal through the
COM1 Port.
b. Call MDS. Get a password-resetting Authorization Key.
c. Enter the Authorization Key at the login prompt as a
password.
