3.4 Troubleshooting ControlScape FH Error Messages
ControlScape FH displays informative error messages for many types of
communication problems. The following topics describe how to interpret these
messages.

communicate with a radio network in Diagnostic mode, and ControlScape FH is
not able to connect with any radios on the network.
 Click Retry to attempt an automatic baud rate detection sequence.
 Click Cancel to stop attempting to connect to a radio.

The Invalid Password dialog box opens when you enter the network password
incorrectly. Check the status of the Caps Lock key on your keyboard, and then
try entering the password again.

 Help: Click Help to read the online help for ControlScape FH.
3.4.3 Check the Ethernet cable
If you connect a radio to a PC or network using an Ethernet cable and the
Ethernet LED does not light on the radio, you may have used the wrong cable
type. In other words, you may have used a crossover cable when you should
have used a straight-through cable, or vice versa.
 Use a straight-through cable when connecting the radio to an Ethernet hub or
a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch. Straight-through cables are used in most
cases.
