Troubleshooting Guide

Issue Solution

The display you want to control does not appear on the system information chart.

The display you want to control does not appear on the other Control Info Grids.

The following message appears repeatedly.

1. Check the connection of the RS232C cable (check that the cable is properly connected to appropriate serial port).

2. Check that another display with a duplicate ID is not

connected. Connecting displays with a duplicate ID can cause the displays not to be shown due to data collision.

3. Check that the display ID is within the range of 0 and 99.

(Change the ID using the Display menu.)

For a display that supports the ID in a range of 0 to 99,

the ID should be set between 0 and 99.

Check that the display is powered on. (See the power status in the system information chart.)

Ensure you select the input source the display is connected to.

Check that the display you want to control is selected.

Displays power on or off at different time from one another even though

Adjust the time on the PC to synchronize the time between the connected displays.

On Time or Off Time is set.

The remote control does not work. The remote control may not work if the RS-232C cable is

removed or the program is closed abnormally while the Remote Control function is Disable. To resolve this, run the program again and set Remote Control to Enable.

This program may malfunction sometimes due to a communication problem between the PC and

display or electromagnetic waves emitted from nearby electronic devices.
