Verifying Communication

ControlScape FH provides several ways to verify that the radios are configured
and communicating with each other.

1.9.1 Viewing Operating Network

To view a graphical representation of a network's communication links, connect a
radio to the Configuration PC.
From the ControlScape FH Main Menu, select:

Diagnostic / Network
the network by name (from the displayed list of configured networks)
o
Select which radio is connected to the Configuration PC from the Radio Name
drop down list. The IP Address of the radio connected to the configuration PC is
automatically displayed.
Note: For IFH radios, full network diagnostics are available only when you are
connected to the Master radio. If you are connected to a Remote or a Repeater
radio, you will only be able to retrieve status information for the radio to which
you are currently connected.
Following is the ControlScape FH's graphical representation of a network with
intact communication links. The functioning RF communication links are
represented solid colored lines.
The colored lines indicate the signal strength of each radio, see Viewing Signal
Strength. If any of the communication links show red dashed lines see Broken
Links in a Radio Network (page 76).
