8. Troubleshooting
© 2008 MeshNetics
In case of any operational problem with your system please check the power first, and
make sure that all of your equipment is properly connected.
Check if your PC conforms to the minimum system requirements (see Section 3.2). Check
if the PC interfaces (COM, USB) are present and drivers are installed.
Check on LED indication of a node if it is not responding or behaving unusually. Make
sure the DIP switches are set according to the application running on the board.
You can retest the particular node as described in Section 3.7, if needed.
You may be required to reset the node.
Table 15 represents some typical problems that you may encounter while working with the
Development Kit and possible solutions.
Table 15. Typical problems and solutions
Problem
The board does not
indicate its activity with
LEDs.
The board does not
respond to outer
commands
In effort to connect several
boards to the same PC
their detection fails due to
ID recognition conflict.
WSN Monitor fails to start.
No node is shown on the
Topology Pane in the
WSN Monitor
WSN Monitor shows NO
DATA in the Sensor Data
Graph Pane.
Node titles displayed on
the Topology Pane do not
show node destinations.

Solution
Make sure that either WSNDemo image or Hardware Test
image is loaded. For SerialNet, the LED status is controlled
by AT-commands.
Make sure the external antenna is not broken and it is
properly connected to the board.
Detect ID for any single connected board using the
USBView.exe utility from Silicon Laboratories. It can be
downloaded from
http://www.silabs.com/tgwWebApp/public/web_content/produ
cts/Microcontrollers/USB/en/USBXpress.htm.
You can use the CP210xSetIDs.exe utility from Silicon
Laboratories which is included in AN144SW. It is described at
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Micr
ocontrollers/Interface/en/an144.pdf
and it can be downloaded from
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/software_doc/others
oftware/Microcontrollers/Interface/en/an144sw.zip.
Make sure Java machine is properly installed on your PC.
Java Runtime Environment installation program can be found
in ./Third Party Software/ directory as
jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe file (see Appendix A)
Check if the WSN Monitor uses proper COM port and if not,
change it and restart the program.
No node is selected. Select the required node by mouse-
clicking on it.
The displayed titles do not necessarily relate to the node
functions but they can be redefined by user anytime. These
names are stored in the node title file (see Section 4.5) along
with MAC addresses mapped to the nodes.
