Troubleshooting I/O Server Communication Problems 57
Ø How long is your RS-232 cable?
Fifteen meters (fifty feet) is the maximum practical length for the RS-232 standard.
Ø Try using a different COM port for the I/O Server.
Ø If you are installing an I/O Server or configuring a board-based I/O Server on a
computer running on the Windows NT operating system, log on with
Administrator privileges.
8 Without Administrator privileges, the server and Server Install program cannot
make the necessary edits to the Windows NT Registry during installation or board
configuration of the server.
1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Point to Programs, then to Administrative
Tools (Common), and click User Manager in the menu. The User Manager dialog
box will appear:
2. Double-click the Username you typed in during log on.
3. If the User Properties dialog box does not appear, you do not have Administrator
privileges.
4. If the User Properties dialog box does appear, click on the Groups button and verify
”Administrators” is in the ”Member of” list.
Ø If you experience occasional or random communication errors in the Wonderware
Logger, such as "Response Timeouts," check for noise.
Do the physical cables run past any known noise sources such as photocopiers,
fluorescent lamps, fans, pumps, motors or generators? Are the cables properly shielded
from its environment? With radio modems and satellite link ups, occasional
communications errors in the Wonderware Logger are normal and to be expected as
long as they do not adversely impact the flow of data.
