18 The transmitter is requesting a
transmit pointing test This condition can occur during installation when the Antenna Pointing program
requests that the transmitter perform a transmit pointing test. This condition
persists until the NOC responds that the transmitter is either actively performing
the pointing test or is queued to perform the test when test resources become
available in the NOC. This is a normal condition for initial installation. The
transmitter may also periodically go into this condition for short periods of time
(less than 5 seconds) to perform periodic transmit pointing tests. These periodic
tests are performed to ensure that the antenna is pointed accurately.
19 The transmitter is queued for a
transmit pointing test This condition can occur during installation when the Antenna Pointing software
requests a transmit pointing test and the NOC has responded that the
transmitter is queued for the next available test time. It may also occur when the
transmitter is performing periodic background transmit pointing tests at the same
time that other users on the network have requested tests. This is a normal state
after initial installation.
20 The transmitter is performing a
transmit pointing test This condition occurs when one of the following tests are active:
• During installation, the Antenna Pointing software requests that the transmitter
perform a transmit pointing test. This condition will persist until the Antenna
Pointing software exits from the transmit pointing test mode.
• The DW6000 performs a periodic background transmit pointing test to make
sure that the antenna is still pointed correctly. This periodic test takes less than
5 seconds.
If the problem persists, try power-cycling the DW6000 by unplugging the wall
outlet and plugging it back in.
21 The transmitter is disabled
because a transmit pointing
test failed This condition occurs when the transmitter fails a transmit pointing test. This
indicates that the transmitter did not meet the minimum specifications required.
This is likely due to an antenna installation problem. The antenna installer needs
to fine-point the antenna. The transmitter will not transmit until the transmit
pointing test passes.
22 The transmitter is disabled
pending a transmit pointing
test This condition occurs when the transmitter is required to perform a periodic
background transmit pointing test, but has not been able to perform the test
within the time window required. The transmitter is expected to be in this
condition for no more than two minutes at random periodic intervals. This
condition can also occur after the transmitter is first powered on after it has been
powered off for more than a day. If the unit remains in this condition for more
than two minutes, then the automated transmit pointing components in the NOC
are likely experiencing problems. This condition should clear in a few minutes.
23 The transmitter is disabled
because a transmit pointing
test cannot be performed This condition occurs when the transmitter cannot perform the transmit pointing
test when initially installed or when the transmitter is required to range. The
condition indicates that the NOC components needed to perform the transmit
pointing test are not operational.
