Data Path Diagnostics
This section details the diagnostics available to troubleshoot the message data path through
the RF-B! transmitter controller. The procedure gives an in depth view of the RF-B! transmitter
controller message data handling and a detailed view of the RF-B! transmitter controller
operation, which is especially useful if the transmitter is not keying.
You need a strong understanding of the overall paging system, especially the RF-B!
transmitter controller, before using the Data Path diagnostics. Chapter 2, "System
Description", paragraph, "The Wireless Messaging System Overview" provides a paging
system overview, while Chapter 2, "System Description", paragraph, "The Baton Control
Module" contains a detailed functional description of the RF-B! transmitter controller. You also
need a strong understanding of FIPS protocol and the use of the service terminal for
troubleshooting.
The Data Path diagnostics are formatted to provide information from the RF-B! transmitter
controller perspective as to why the transmitter is not keying. Individual sections of this
procedure are also useful for troubleshooting other problems.
