TESSCO Sku 226396
Troubleshooting Process
1. Place the multimeter leads to the DC input on the PoE injector, POE1 (positive to vin+ and negative to vin-).
2. Verify that the voltage is between 10 ~ 36 vdc. If the voltage is outside this range, then check the source
voltage and adjust so that it is in the input voltage range of the PoE injector.

3. Verify that the DC power cable from enclosure is properly connected to the source: DC V-(white); DC V+
(black); GND (green) is not connected.
4. Verify that the 2.4 GHz antennas are connected to the ports on the top of the enclosure (MO1: Port B and
MO1: Port D) per the door diagram.
5Verify that the 5.0 GHz antennas are connected to the ports on the bottom of the enclosure (MO1: Port A and
MO1: Port C) per the door diagram.
6. Verify the LED operation of MO1. A green LED means the radios are connected. A blue LED means the
radios are not connected. If the LED is nonoperational, then the PoE injector is not operational.
7. Connect a computer to the Rajant radio with an ethernet cable.
8. Open the control panel on the computer. Select NETWORK AND INTERNET -> CHANGE ADAPTER
OPTIONS.
9. Select the adapter being used from the file menu. Select PROPERTIES.
10. In the PROPERTIES menu, scroll down to the INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4 (TCP/IPV4) item, select
it, then select properties. NOTE: This window allows manual configuration of the network adapter's IP
addresses.
11. Select "USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDRESS".
12. Enter 10.26.50.2 under "IP ADDRESS". Do not use a 1 in the last octet.
13. Enter 255.0.0.0 under "SUBNET MASK". Press the "OK" button and then close the window.
14. Open the "RAJANT BC COMMANDER" application on the laptop. You should see all the breadcrumb radios
on the network in the "BREADCRUMB TABLE" tab.

1. Identify the radio you are troubleshooting at the node via the radio’s serial number located on the label by
the ZEROIZE button. If you don’t see the breadcrumb radio with that serial number on the network in the
"BREADCRUMB TABLE" tab, then the radio is not operational.
16. Verify that the circles under the flags column in the "BREADCRUMB TABLE" tab are green. A green circle
means the radios are connected. A blue circle means the radios are not connected. If the blue LED is
nonoperational, then the either the antennas are not operational.
17. Link on the "TOPOLOGY VIEW" tab.
18. From the main menu, select VIEW -> TOPOLOGY LAYOUT -> DEFAULT LAYOUT
19. Click on the light blue and green links between the radios in the "TOPOLOGY VIEW" tab to verify all the
antennas are connected. There will be data listed in all fields in the pop-up window (shown above). The
antenna with no data listed is not operational.

20. Click on the radio with serial number under test in the "TOPOLOGY VIEW" tab. Click on the "PEERS" tab.
22. Verify all the antennas have good cost values. The cost should be under 1000. If the cost is over 1000,
then there is interference in the area where the enclosure system is deployed which is not allowing it to
connect. The enclosure system will need to be relocated.
