General Troubleshooting
The following table shows general troubleshooting suggestions:
Problem
Solution
Won’t power on
• Verify fixture is plugged in to an appropriately-rated power source
(power ratings are shown on
• Check power cord wiring.
• If the unit’s previous shutdown was done remotely, you may have to
manually turn on the power switch located behind the right front cover.
Powers on but no image
• Make sure a video output is physically attached to the Axon server,
and that the video feed is active.
Powers on but does not display the
CMA screen.
• An active display device must be attached to both DVI ports before
booting up the system. When only one port is connected, it defaults to
display the graphics engine output and will not display the CMA
screen.
Fixture behaves erratically or won’t
respond to DMX control
• Verify that the last unit on the DMX link is properly terminated, (see
page 8).
• To control Axon with DMX, you must first enable DMX through the
CMA (see
