3.1 Diagnostics Overview
Use the Diagnostic function in ControlScape FH to:
 View a graphical representation of the overall function of a network.
 Query an individual radio and display its operating parameters.
You can use the information from the diagnostics function to:
 Optimize network function.
 Determine the source of failed communication.
3.2 LED Status Indicators
The RLX2- IFHxE front panel includes a set of LEDs that indicate the radio’s
status.
After you first plug in the power cable to the radio, the Power/Status LED should
be green, meaning that the radio has power. The RF Transmit and RF Receive
LEDs should blink.
LED Description
Power This LED indicates the power and boot status of the radio. Upon application of
power to the radio, the LED lights for about 20 seconds and then begins to flash
slowly for about 30 seconds. The slow flash indicates that the RLX2-IFHE is in
its startup sequence. Once the LED stops flashing and remains lit, the RLX2-
IFHE is ready for normal operation.
Ethernet If this green LED is lit, the Ethernet cable is connected.
If this LED is flashing, an Ethernet packet is being transmitted or received.
RF Transmit This yellow LED indicates RF transmission.
Link/RF Receive This green LED indicates RF reception.
232 / 485 On (lit) for RS-232, Off for RS-485/422
