Verifying the Cellular Transceiver Unit
To verify that the cellular transceiver unit is working and
communicating with the cellular service tower, confirm that the
Status LED is blinking rapidly (twice a second or faster). This
indicates that the cellular unit is receiving a strong signal.
If the Status LED is OFF or blinking slowly (once a second or
slower), the cellular unit is receiving a weak signal. OMEGA
might not transmit and receive data reliably if the cellular signal is
weak. In this case, relocate OMEGA to a different location to
improve cellular performance. You can also replace the OMEGA
antenna with an external high-gain antenna that complies with the
OMEGA specifications to improve reception, without jeopardizing
the OMEGA warranty. Contact Telenetics for more information.
Operating OMEGA
After you set up OMEGA, use the procedures in this section to test
OMEGA’s originate and answer capabilities.
WARNING!
Before you perform the following call-origination and call-
answering procedures, replace and hand-tighten the
OMEGA cover. Otherwise, the antenna can interfere with
OMEGA’s performance.
Activating Your Cellular Transceiver
To operate OMEGA the cellular transceiver must be activated for
service. To activate the cellular transceiver, contact your cellular
service and provide them with the OMEGA electronic serial
number (ESN). The ESN is located on the bar code on the
OMEGA cellular transceiver. The ESN is an 11-digit number that
starts with 236 (i.e., 236-xxxxxxxx).
IMPORTANT: The cellular phone number must be available to complete the
following procedures.
Call Origination Testing
If the OMEGA 8-Port Line-Sharing Module is installed, use the
call-testing procedures in the OMEGA 8-Port Line-Sharing
Module Quick Start Guide. Otherwise, use the following procedure
