Wireless Transceiver Tool (TLX) (For WFLN Version 1)

About the TLX

The Wireless Transceiver Tool (TLX) is a wireless transceiver that can be used before, during, and after

installation to perform surveys, network checkout, and troubleshooting.

Through Microsoft®HyperTerminal, you can view the WFLN information that the TLX accesses, such as

node conﬁguration data and communication quality. The TLX connects to a laptop computer’s RS-232 port

via a 9-pin to RJ-11 RS-232 cable and uses 24 Vac power. The TLX kit (P/N 563-006) includes the TLX,

antenna, power cable, and 24 Vac transformer.

Starting the TLX

Before You Begin

Before using the TLX, do the following to enable the TLX to communicate over the wireless network:

• Set the TLX Channel to the same Channel as the WFLN.

• Set the TLX Network ID to match the WFLN Network ID.

• Place the TLX within communication range of the WFLN.

• Connect the TLX to a laptop computer and plug in the power cable (see Figure 2). If needed,

terminate the power cable wires for the TLX power connector as follows: E=green, H=red, N=black.

Verify that the TLX is communicating properly; the LED should be green and blinking quickly.

3. Press ENTER to display the TLX prompt (>).

The TLX is now ready to query the WFLN.

4. To view the list of TLX commands through HyperTerminal, type ?or HELP at the command prompt,

andthenpressENTER.

Status LED

The Status LED on the TLX indicates the current operation mode and status of the TLX.

Table 2. TLX LED Blink Patterns.

LED Blink Pattern Operation Modes

OFF Not powered.

Green—quickly blinking ON and OFF

(every 0.25 seconds) Powered; is communicating with at least

one FPX or FLNX node.

Green—slowly blinking ON and OFF (every

1.0 second) Powered; has no communication with any

remote FPX or FLNX nodes.

Yellow—blinking ON and OFF Powered; running Energy Scan.

Yellow—ON steadily Powered; but is defective.

It is normal for the TLX to switch between operation modes.

TLX Commands

Table 3 shows the command functions that the TLX provides.

To view the list of commands through HyperTerminal, type ?or HELP at the command

prompt, and then press ENTER.

Table 3. Command Summary.

Command Action/Description

?orHELP Displays the command menu.

SCAN Scans the WFLN for all wireless devices.

CONFIG Displays the conﬁguration properties.

DIAG Displays diagnostic information.

CLEAR Resets device diagnostic counts to zero.

BINDING Displays the binding table.

COST Displays the link costs.

LQI Displays the link quality of the last hop of a message path.

RSSI Displays the received signal strength values for the last hop of a

message path.

ENERGY Scans the current RF energy values of the radio channels.

REBOOT Reboots the device.

Command Syntax

For most of the TLX commands, you can apply the command speciﬁcally to the TLX, FPX, or FLNX. For

example: CONFIG TLX, CONFIG FPX, CONFIG FLNX #.

When querying an FLNX, you can use either the FLN device address (drop 0 to 98) or the device Ember

User Identiﬁcation Number (EUID). For example:

•CONFIGFLNXx(where xis the FLN device address (drop)), such as CONFIG FLNX 12.

•CONFIGFLNXy(where yis the FLNX EUID), such as CONFIG FLNX 000D6F0000055F9D.

You can use a partial EUID to query an FLNX (for example, CONFIG FLNX 5F9D).

The TLX will search for a unique match for the character sequence. Generally, use at

least the last four characters of the EUID and use an even number of characters. If you

receive an error, try the command again using additional characters from the EUID.

You can view the EUIDs of all the FLNXs through the SCAN command. Usually, you need to use the EUID

only if the FLNX is attached to an FLN device that has not been addressed (listed as FLNX-99 in the scan

report) or the FLNX does not have an attached FLN device (listed as FLNX-??).

Performing Network Checkout

After you set up the WFLN, use the TLX to check WFLN conﬁguration and verify robust communications.

Table 4 lists good results for each command.

Table 4. Network Checkout Summary.

TLX Command Target Results

SCAN All FLN devices are listed and have unique addresses.

BINDING FPX All FLNXs that should be communicating with the FPX are

listed.

RSSI FPX All greater than –50.

COST FPX All less than or equal to 5.

You can use the TLX Command File to automatically execute the CONFIG, DIAG,

BINDING, COST, LQI, and RSSI commands. For more information, see TLX

Command File on InfoLink.

Use HyperTerminal to save the WFLN data that the TLX accesses. To save the data

as a text ﬁle: on the Transfer menu, click Capture Text; enter the ﬁle name and

destination; and then click Start. When the TLX session is complete: on the Transfer

menu, point to Capture Text, and then click Stop.

1. Start HyperTerminal and the TLX. Conﬁrm that the TLX Channel and Network ID settings match the

WFLN settings.

2. At the TLX prompt in HyperTerminal, type SCAN, and then press ENTER.

The TLX scans the WFLN for devices and establishes sequenced messaging connections. The scan

report shows which FPX and FLNX devices are powered up and are communicating on the WFLN. For

more information, see the Scanning for Devices (SCAN) section.

3. If the scan shows that multiple FLN devices have the same FLN address or that an FLN device is

without an address (indicated by FLNX-99):

a. Change or set the FLN device address(es) so each device has a unique address.

b. Repeat Step 2 to conﬁrm the change and verify that all the FLN devices have unique addresses for

that network ID and channel.

FLNX-?? represents an FLNX that is not attached to an FLN device. Verify whether or not

the FLNX is supposed to be attached to an FLN device. If the FLNX is acting as a wireless

router, then it is OK.

4. Type BINDING FPX, and then press ENTER.

The Node Binding table is displayed. This table shows the FLNXs that communicate with the FPX. For

more information, see the Checking Node Bindings (BINDING) section.

5. If an FLNX is missing from the FPX’s Node Binding table:

•Conﬁrm that the FLNX is powered up and communicating on the WFLN. Either review the

previous scan report or execute the SCAN command again.

• Verify that the FLN device attached to that FLNX is deﬁnedintheﬁeld panel database.

• Move the antenna and/or FLNX to a better location for communication, install a repeater to route

around an obstruction, or reduce the transmission distance to its nearest neighbor.

6. Type RSSI FPX, and then press ENTER.

The list of FLNXs communicating with the FPX is displayed, along with values representing the

signal strength of the last hop of each message path. RSSI values greater than –50 indicate good

communication. An RSSI of –128 indicates no signal was detected. For more information, see the

Viewing Signal Strength (RSSI) section.

7. Type COST FPX, and then press ENTER.

Cost values reﬂect the reliability and structure of the message paths between the FPX and FLNXs

that communicate with it. Generally, cost values should be less than or equal to 5 to ensure robust

communication. For more information, see the Viewing Cost Values (COST) section.

Network Information Commands

The following sections provide detailed information about the SCAN, CONFIG, BINDING, RSSI, COST,

and LQI commands.

Scanning for Devices (SCAN)

Always start a TLX session with the SCAN command. The TLX scans the WFLN for devices and

establishes sequenced messaging connections to the devices. A scan report shows which FPX and

FLNXs are currently powered up, have the same Channel and Network ID settings, and are able to

communicate wirelessly with the TLX. The scan also shows which FLNXs have attached FLN devices

that are powered up and have been assigned an FLN (drop) address, including any addresses that are

duplicates. Also, if multiple FPXs incorrectly have the same Channel and Network ID settings, they are

described as such in the scan results.

To scan for devices:

Type SCAN, and then press ENTER.

The following example shows what is displayed after the TLX ﬁnishes a scan.
