Troubleshooting
The LED are used to indicate I/O status, power and radio communication.
No LED indicates radio communication on the transmitting IRIS. The IRIS does either not react on the event that is used to
generate the radio package or the action is not connected to the event properly.
· Check that the event works and that it is connected to the right action. The easiest way to check that the event works is to
trigger another action. For example set an output high and check the LED on the side of the IRIS-IO.
The LED of the transmitting IRIS unit indicates radio communication but the LED on the receiving IRIS unit does not. The
radio connection is not working properly.
· Check the radio link by moving the two IRIS units closer together and make sure that there is a free line of sight between
them.
· Check the radio settings so that they are set to the same radio channel, that message events for radio communication are
correct and that there are a link between the units either direct or via repeaters.
Both the transmitting IRIS and the receiving IRIS indicates radio communication but there is no reaction on the expected
event.
· Check that the event works and that it is connected to the right action. The easiest way to check that the event works is to
trigger another action. For example set an output high and check the LED on the side of the IRIS-IO.
It is always possible to change the configuration back to the original configuration using the IRIS configuration tool. The
original configuration file is found on the CD. The IRIS will only accept configuration files with the own ID or ID set to
0000000000.
To change the configuration file you will need either an IRIS with a serial interface or an IRIS-Evaluation board found in the
IRIS-Starter kit.
Change configuration using an IRIS-Evaluation board:
· Open the IRIS-IO and move the IRIS-Base to the IRIS-Evaluation board
· Connect the serial cable and power supply
· Send the configuration file
· Move the IRIS-Base back to IRIS-IO
Change configuration via radio using another IRIS:
· The IRIS used to relay the configuration must have CRLF as End of data.
· Add the target IRIS as a lower unit to the IRIS used to relay the configuration.
· Make sure that relaying IRIS is set to the same radio channel as the target IRIS.
· Connect the serial cable and power supply to the relaying IRIS and the power supply to the target IRIS.
· Send the configuration file to the relaying IRIS and it will be sent to the target IRIS.
