Re: Ops Console problem

Hi Paul

As a first thing to try, there is a procedure you can use to reset 
the Ops Console comms line.

Using the control panel on the box:

- Put the system into manual mode
- Use the Up and down buttons to select function 25
- Press the enter button
- Use the Up button to select function 26
- Press the enter button
- Press the Down button to select function 65
- Press enter

You should now get a code on the control panel: D1008065 indicating 
the ops console comms adapter has been de-activated

To reactivate the adapter

- Use the down button to select function 66
- Press the enter button

If the system successfully initializes the line code D1008066 will 
appear in the control panel after a few minutes. From experience a 
little patience here can be useful.

Link to to the Technical Library Operations Console Line Reste Procedure:

From the Info Center I was (eventually) able to obtain this link for 
troubleshooting Operations Console problems which may be helpful as 
it contains suggestions for a number of different possible problems.

Hope this helps
