CHAPTER 5: Troubleshooting Your HAL System Installation DR LCD Display Possible Causes Suggested Action The HAL is not powered. Power on the HAL. A mis-wired or broken cable is disrupting power to the DR. Use a cable tester to verify shielded CAT 5e termination. If using a punch block, verify that the brown pair is properly punched. (Assuming T568B termination). A flashing P appears in the upper left corner, indicating the DR is not receiving enough power. The cable is not plugged into a HAL. Plugging the DR cable into some other device (like an Ethernet switch) will not supply power to the DR. The shielded CAT 5e cable between the DR and the HAL is too long. Shorten the cable! There is excessive voltage drop between the HAL and DR. Verify it is 24 AWG (or heavier) cable. Verify the cable length from HAL to DR has not exceeded 150 meters. A spinning wheel and the words Connecting ... never go away. The twisted pair in the shielded CAT 5e cable that carries communications data is mis-wired or broken. Use a cable tester to verify the wiring of the shielded CAT 5e cable. If using a punch block, verify that the orange pair is properly punched (assuming T568B termination). A flashing exclamation point and the words Configuration Mismatch. The physical DR model detected on the port does not match the configured model for that port. See Resolving a Device Mismatch. A flashing L appears in the upper right corner The DR is in Locate mode. End Locate mode for that DR from within Halogen. The display is blank, yet the DR is connected to a live HAL. The DR control is configured as a Selector but is not properly linked to another Selector control. The DR control is configured as a Toggles/Commands control or as a List of Levels control, but no toggles, commands, or levels are defined. In Halogen, create or fix the control link. In Halogen, add the appropriate toggles, commands, or levels to this DR. 105

DR LCD Display
Possible Causes
Suggested Action
A flashing
P
appears in the
upper left corner, indicating
the DR is not receiving
enough power.
The HAL is not powered.
Power on the HAL.
A mis-wired or broken cable is dis-
rupting power to the DR.
Use a cable tester to verify
shielded CAT 5e termination.
If using a punch block, verify
that the brown pair is prop-
erly punched. (Assuming
T568B termination).
The cable is not plugged into a
HAL.
Plugging the DR cable into
some other device (like an
Ethernet switch) will not
supply power to the DR.
The shielded CAT 5e cable between
the DR and the HAL is too long.
Shorten the cable!
There is excessive voltage drop
between the HAL and DR.
Verify it is 24 AWG (or
heavier) cable.
Verify the cable length from
HAL to DR has not
exceeded 150 meters.
A spinning wheel and the
words
Connecting ...
never
go away.
The twisted pair in the shielded
CAT 5e cable that carries com-
munications data is mis-wired or
broken.
Use a cable tester to verify
the wiring of the shielded
CAT 5e cable.
If using a punch block, verify
that the orange pair is prop-
erly punched (assuming
T568B termination).
A flashing exclamation
point and the words
Con-
figuration Mismatch
.
The physical DR model detected on
the port does not match the con-
figured model for that port.
See Resolving a Device Mis-
match.
A flashing
L
appears in the
upper right corner
The DR is in Locate mode.
End Locate mode for that DR
from within Halogen.
The display is blank, yet the
DR is connected to a live
HAL.
The DR control is configured as a
Selector but is not properly linked
to another Selector control.
In Halogen, create or fix the
control link.
The DR control is configured as a
Toggles/Commands control or as a
List of Levels control, but no tog-
gles, commands, or levels are
defined.
In Halogen, add the appro-
priate toggles, commands, or
levels to this DR.
