Daktronics Venus 1500 Radio – Gen 2 - Manual (Page 31)

5. If the same message appears in the Received box as in the Sent box, the loop-back test
was successful, implying that the radios are communicating.
6. If "No Response" appears in the Received box, the test failed due to one of the
following problems:
a. The computer COM port or the USB port being used is not configured as a
"serial" port.
b. Communication problem: the wire to the server radio or the terminations are
bad.
c. A problem occurred while conducting the test:
• The serial cable to the J-box/signal converter is bad or not plugged in.
• The J-box/signal converter is not plugged in.
7. If the following message is seen: "It appears as if this port has a modem attached",
the modem will need to be moved or a different COM port used.
After the test is complete:
1. Remove the wire jumper and make sure terminations are correct.
2. Run the test again without the jumpers and the test should fail.
3. Use Venus 1500 Display Manager to get status to ensure communication now works
correctly.
