FR24 F-RPVD1 is Offline
Woke up this morning to find the FR24 receiver offline. Looking at the modem there was no light on the port the receiver is connected to. I suspect power trouble to the receiver.
Later on this morning will go outside where two of my receivers are mounted and troubleshoot. The power strip the FR24 receiver is connected to also has another adapter plugged in as well as a powerline ethernet adapter. Cycling the power rebooted the other receiver fine but no go for the FR24.
My method of troubleshooting will make use of 4 things:
1. My eyes, is there obvious damage to anything?
2. My nose, is there a residual burning smell inside the receiver enclosures?
3. Volt/ohmmeter, disconnecting the voltage adapter plug at the receiver and measuring voltage or lack of voltage.
4. If the other steps lead to the restoration of power to the receiver and the receiver negotiates properly the led at the modems ethernet port will light up. If the modem port is not lighted, I'll disconnect the ethernet powerline adapter ethernet cable from the other receiver and attach it to the FR24 receivers ethernet port. If the receiver connects to the modem, the FR24 receiver will assume the port the other receiver had and you can access the status page. If everything works with this setup, the ethernet cable between the FR24 receiver and the modem is bad. If this switcheroo doesn't work, it is the ethernet port on the FR24 that's not working requiring a replacement receiver.
In a few hours we will see.
