Page 12: Troubleshooting
MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Common Problems In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ CAT5 Video System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. - Page 13 CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting Problem: Serial communication doesn’t work correctly. Solution: • Are the serial devices connected properly? Are the serial parameters correct for source/destination devices? • Are the serial cables terminated correctly? If a null-modem cable is used, it must be placed at the receiver end. •...
