Troubleshooting

Q1: Why is the Error LED blinking?
A1:
1.
The Coordinator is not hosting a PAN yet. The PAN ID and Channel might be
occupied by another Coordinators. Change to different PAN ID and Channel in
initial mode.
2.
The Router/End Device is not joining a PAN. Check if there is a coordinator with
specified PAN ID and Channel to join.
3.
Battery level is low.
4.
Network is associating.
Q2: Why does the amber LED on Coordinator automatically add a count in initial
mode?
A2: The Coordinator will automatically add the Pair ID while there is another Coordi-
nator nearby and can be detected.

2.
Press side button 2 times for battery level.
3.
Press side button 3 times for network association
4.

Pair ID coordinator.
Q4: Why are all the amber LEDs on coordinator blinking while operating in initial
mode?
A4: Four Pair ID can be selected in initial mode of coordinators. If there are five coor-
dinators set in initial mode at the same time, the last one will blink to indicate there
are no available Pair ID to use.
Q5: Does the ADAM-2520Z support the HW/SW flow control of serial communica-
tion?

cation/software must turn off the HW/SW flow control.
Q6: Can I use the rechargeable battery as the ADAM-2000 series power input?

be charged while using the external power. We suggest using Energizer L91 Ultimate
Lithium AA battery.
