Indication
Possible cause
Corrective action
Red LED is on
Hardware fault which makes 
normal operation of the Gateway 
impossible.
Try powering the Gateway down 
and up again. If the problem 
persists, please return the device 
to P+F for repair.
Red LED 
flashes
Under certain conditions the LED 
flashes while the Gateway 
application tries to eliminate the 
fault.
Please contact P+F customer 
service for guidelines.

Fault
Possible cause
Corrective action
The host is not 
able to 
establish an 
Ethernet 
connection to 
the Gateway.
The Gateway is connected to the 
Ethernet with a straight through 
connection although a crossover 
connection is neccesary (or vice 
versa).
Access the Gateway's Ethernet 
interface (see chapter 2.4). 
Interchange the green wire with 
the orange one, and the 
white/orange wire with the 
white/green one. (see Figure 3.10 
on page 26). This action changes 
a crossover connection into a 
straight through connection and 
vice versa.
The Ethernet parameters of the 
Gateway are incorrect.
Check the Gateway's Ethernet 
parameters (see chapter 5.5.2). 
The Local Area Connection 
Properties of your PC are not 
configured correctly.
Configure the Local Area 
Connection according to the 
instructions given (see chapter 
4.5).
If you are parameterizing via the 
web interface: Maybe your web 
browser uses proxies.
Deactivate proxies in your 
browser.
The host is not 
able to 
establish a 
serial 
connection to 
the Gateway.
Wrong parameters (e.g. COM 
port, address range) are set in the 
communication DTM.
Check the parameters in the 
communication DTM (see chapter 
4.6.2). Also check the COM port 
configured on your PC(see 
chapter 4.4) and the baud 
rate/polling address configured via 
the DIP switches in the Gateway 
housing (see chapter 6.1.2).
The host is not 
able to 
establish a 
serial 
connection to 
the Gateway, or 
the signal 
qualitiy is poor.
The terminating resistor is not 
activated.
If the RS-485 cable ends at the 
Gateway (Gateway is last device), 
activate the terminating resistor 
via the DIP switch inside the 
Gateway housing (see chapter 
6.1.2) or via the DTM (see chapter 
5.5.1).
