1. First make sure the connection of each option is complete and each component is powered properly. Next, restart the system and execute the process again. If the same error occurs again, reduce the baud rate before retrying. If normal operation cannot be achieved even after making the above adjustments, contact your nearest support/technical center.

2. The file could not be properly accessed. Check if the file can be properly accessed or if the disk is full.

5. Q and A

Common to Satellite and Master I/O Boxes

It seems that it takes a rather long time for communication to start, doesn't it?

Communication between the IT-2000 and Satellite/Master I/O Box is performed according to IrDA protocol. Generally, the IrDA protocol requires 2 to 3 seconds until communication between the PC and IT-2000 is established. This period of time is required for each IT-2000 terminal. It may take more than 10 seconds for communication to start if multiple Satellite and Master I/O Boxes are connected under daisy-chain.

Which IrDA standard is used for communication between the IT-2000 and Satellite/Master I/O Box ?

IrDA 1.0 is used for communication between the Satellite I/O Box and IT-2000, and IrDA 1.1 is used for communication between the Master I/O Box and IT-2000.

If multiple Satellite I/O Boxes and Master I/O Boxes are to be chain-connected, is there an order in which they must be connected?

They do not have to be connected in any particular order, since, with the IrDA protocol, the next terminal to be connected is randomly selected each time communication has been completed up to the current terminal.

Satellite I/O Box

What happens if the power to a Satellite I/O Box connected in the middle of the daisy-chain is turned OFF ?

Communication can only be performed between the PC and the Satellite I/O Boxes, which are located in the nearer positions to the PC delimited by the Satellite I/O Box having been powered off.

If the Windows3.1 version of FLINK is used, the baud rate setup cannot be modified by changing the DIP switch setting for the RS-232C communication speed on the Satellite I/O Box. Why?

To modify the RS-232C communication speed with the Windows3.1 version of FLINK, it must be started up with the following option. Otherwise, the default value of 9600 bps is automatically used.

Option:

The communication speed can be determined according to the DIP switch setting of the Satellite I/O Box only if the MS-DOS version of FLINK is used.

If an attempt is made to execute the Upload/Download Utility, a startup error appeared. Why?

This startup error occurs if the COM port is being used by another application. In addition, if an application that uses the COM port is executed from the DOS window, the COM port is not accessible from other applications until the DOS window has been closed.

If multiple Satellite I/O Boxes are connected under daisy-chain, can each IT-2000 terminal

/L {baud rate parameter,2,,,,,,, }

9600 for 9600 bps 384K for 38400 bps 115K for 115200 bps

independently use either the MS-DOS version of FLINK or the Windows3.1 version of FLINK ?

This is not permitted. All IT-2000 terminals must use the same version.

Master I/O Box

If the Master I/O Box is connected, the SCSI check box in LMWIN cannot be selected. Why?

First turn ON the power to the Master I/O Box, then turn ON the power to the PC. If this order is reversed, the I/O Box cannot be recognized by the system. Or, SCSI IDs may be duplicated. Check this.

What is the maximum baud rate if the Satellite I/O Boxes are connected under daisy-chain so they follow each Master I/O Box ?

In this case the physical Master I/O Box-to-Satellite I/O Box speed is 115200 bps max.

Can I update the version of Master I/O Box firmware ?

Yes, by using the dedicated download tool and a SCSI cable. Your nearest support/technical center will inform you if it is necessary.

What happens if the power to a middle Master I/O Box which is connected to the PC is turned OFF ?

The Master I/O Box that is turned OFF and all Satellite I/O Boxes that are connected to that Master I/O Box are communication-disabled. Communication with Master I/O Boxes, other than with that which is turned OFF, is permitted. To make the Master I/O Box available again, turn ON that Master I/O Box first, then restart the PC.

If an attempt was made to execute the Upload/Download Utility, a startup error appeared. Why?

A startup error occurs if the SCSI cable is not properly plugged in or if the power to all the Master I/O Boxes is not on.

If multiple Master I/O Boxes are connected, can each IT-2000 terminal independently use either the MS-DOS version of FLINK or the Windows3.1 version of FLINK ?

This is not permitted. A timeout error will occur because of a timing lag between the MS-DOS version of FLINK and the Windows3.1 version of FLINK.
