74 Reciter Fault Finding
We recommend that you use the latest version of the Service Kit when
carrying out these fault finding procedures. The latest version is available
from the Tait Technical Support website
You must use the version of the Calibration Kit which is compatible with
the version of firmware loaded into the reciter.
1. To find out the firmware version, run the Service Kit and connect to
the reciter. Select Monitor > Module Details > Reciter. The
firmware version is displayed in the Versions area.
2. To find out which version of the Calibration Kit to use, refer to the
Compatibility Table in the TB8100 Base Station Release Notes.
These Release Notes are on the TB8100 Product CD, and the latest
version is also available from the Tait Technical Support website.
If you are testing a reciter separately from the other modules in the
customer's base station, we recommend you consult the customer before
changing the reciter's firmware version. The new firmware may not be
compatible with the other modules in the customer's base station.
Ensure that any TB8100 modules used to test the functionality of the reciter
under repair are loaded with compatible firmware. Details of compatible
firmware combinations are provided in the Compatibility Table in the
TB8100 Base Station Release Notes.
