Troubleshooting a Matrix 3200/6400 System Problem

All Matrix 3200/6400 BME front panels include LEDs at the bottom of the panel
which are bracketed and labeled DIAGNOSTICS. These LEDs (Figure 5-6.A)
indicate the current status of the BME power supplies, the RS232/BME/MKP

1

Communications RX and TX lines, and the System Status. The following
descriptions include normal/failure/status conditions for each LED.

Power Supplies

Primary +V

Green LED

ON = Normal
OFF = Failure

Primary -V

Green LED

ON = Normal
OFF = Failure

Redundant +V

Green LED

ON = Normal
OFF = Failure (or Redundant not present)
Blinking = Redundant +V supplying full +V load

(indicates Primary +V power supply failure)

Redundant -V

Green LED

ON = Normal
OFF = Failure (or Redundant not present)
Blinking = Redundant -V supplying full +V load

(indicates Primary -V power supply failure)

______ If a BME fails to power ON, check the BME external AC fuse (see Page 5-6).

If the Diagnostic LEDs indicate that a power supply has failed, check the power
supply fuse (see Page 5-6).

BME #0 must be powered ON at the same time or after other BMEs. Any BME
powered on after BME #0 will not be seen by the internal system software.

Communications

RS232 TX - Red LED ON/Blinking = BME is transmitting data to Host
RS232 RX - Green LED ON/Blinking = BME is receiving data from Host
BME TX - Red LED ON/Blinking = BME is transmitting data
BME RX - Green LED ON/Blinking = BME is receiving data
MKP TX - Red LED ON/Blinking = BME is transmitting to Remote keypad
MKP RX - Green LED ON/Blinking = BME is receiving from Remote keypad

______ 1. MKP TX/RX LEDs are not present on SYNC BMEs.

2. MKP LED conditions above apply only to BME #0.
3. RS-232 LED conditions above apply only to BME #0.
4. A communications failure between BME #0 and other BMEs could be caused
by one BME loading down the BME TX or RX line. To determine if that is the
case, run the RJ-11 BME COMM interconnecting cable to bypass each BME one
at a time.

System Status

Amber LED

ON = Normal
OFF = System failure - Call Extron Tech Support
Blinking = Busy
