Communication issues

 

12. Problem: The device is being initialized, but one or more drives are not
      accessible.

  • Solution:
    Please check, if all plug connections are mechanically secured, especially those of the device-intern Modulo Bus cable (9-pin plug-in connector with flat cable at the drives and the transceiver module).

 

13. Problem: The device is indicated in the Bluetooth manager, a connection is
       set up, but RODEONmodular reports a failed initialization.

  • Solution 1:
    Please check, that no further data cable is connected to the transceiver or to the USB expander rack. If you remove a cable, the device has to be switched off and on again.

  • Solution 2:
    Some Bluetooth adapter install two serial interfaces for one RODEONmodular device: one outgoing and one incoming. The incoming interface should be deactivated or removed, and in the file "MyDocuments\RODEONmodular\settings.cfg", the port number should be set to the respective outgoing port.
