Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Using the Console Port
Connecting through the console port provides a lot of help and vital information when troubleshooting the BlueTOAD devices. Connect using a serial DB9 Female Cable with your port set to 115,200, 8, N, 1, N. Power cycle the BlueTOAD once you are connected serially and hit any key to enter the configuration mode.
**Each BlueTOAD comes with a small install manual which details how to gain access through the web interface and serially. In addition it details all the CLI commands but you can always type ? to see the complete list on-board the BlueTOAD
Type ‘showconfig’ and verify all the device settings

Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Once everything is verified for the BlueTOAD type ‘boot’ and monitor the text as the BlueTOAD goes through its boot and operation process
Monitor the BlueTOAD operating Text and make sure the BlueTOAD is able to connect to the BlueTOAD server on port 8010. After about 3-4 minutes of running you should begin to see the BlueTOAD connect to the server and transmit MAC data without seeing any errors.
**Important Note – Make sure the BlueTOAD is connected into the switch while it is booting. If the BlueTOAD doesnot detect an Auto Negotiating Ethernet connection it will not complete the startup boot and continue recycling.

Maintenance/Troubleshooting
BlueTOAD is not displaying data on the Server
The BlueTOAD devices require 4 separate communication paths on the Network for 100% operation:
NTP Server communication, DNS Server communication, BlueTOAD Server Communication, and
Network Gateway communication
If any one of these network items are not setup or working properly, the device will either not report accurate data to the server or be unable to connect at all.If you are receiving this data (Bad-News-Dude, 143.100.231.249 refuses the connection) from the BlueTOAD
please proceed with verifying each connection using the following steps

ObjectiveLet’s get your BlueTOAD connected, communicating, and collecting data fast!
OverviewTo provide a complete set of resources and tools that will allow a user the ability to verify, troubleshoot, and diagnose any issues on a BlueTOAD network.
Check List
Installation
BlueTOAD POE device is powered on and plugged in to a protected power source (non GFI outlet)
POE is properly grounded and the BlueTOAD is plugged into the Power + Data port of the injector
BlueTOAD is mounted 10-14’ above road level and facing lanes of detection
BlueTOAD board is showing LED status of power and network connection
BlueTOAD is plugged in to the designated and specified Field Switch port
Proper cable is used from cabinet POE to BlueTOAD – shielded CAT5e with shielded connectors
CAT5e cable and terminations are tested and verified after installation
Communication
LED status on field switch shows activity and local area connection
Factory made CAT5e jumper is used to connect from POE splitter to Field Switch
Web Interface from the switch into the BlueTOAD and screen shot the settings (default address below): http://IP:8080/cgi-bin/admin.cgi username = admin PW = 77admin77
Verify the Device ID is correct for that location according to the master spread sheet
Verify the BlueTOAD NTP Server Status and BlueTOAD Server Status are both Green (Take Screen Shot)

Troubleshooting
Unable to Web Interface into the BlueTOAD
Verify what the BlueTOAD IP, Subnet, and Mask should be at the location from the master device spreadsheet
Verify that your PC is set within the IP, Mask, and GW range allowed for this location
If you are plugged into the Field Switch, remove your connection and plug directly into the Data port of the BlueTOAD (some agencies have VLANs and other things blocking ports on the field switch)
**Special Note – The BlueTOAD device can take up to 5 minutes after power cycle or rebooting to allow access on the Web Interface….Be Patient!
Send a Ping to the device IP address and verify you are receiving a response back. If you are not, either you or the device is not set with the appropriate IP info.

Set your laptop to the Exact IP, Mask, GW, and DNS as the BlueTOAD is
Plug in to the same port of the Field Switch as the BlueTOAD is currently connected
Send Ping tests to the local switch address and verify you receive a response back. If no response is returned then go back and check network settings on the BlueTOAD, Switch, or VLAN config of the local agency

Send Ping tests to the defined Gateway on this subnet. If no response check with network administrator on the network settings for this subnet. If successful, please proceed with the following steps.
Send Ping tests to the BlueTOAD Server and DNS address and verify you receive response back. If no response back, the network may be blocking access to the BLueTOAD server address and please contact the network administrator
BlueTOAD Device shows up on the Server but no MACs are being recorded
**Special note – If the BlueTOAD cannot see the NTP Server or has limited connection the timestamps for MAC hit will be corrupt and the BlueTOAD server will refuse the connection.
What are we looking for?If you notice you have an issue with a device verify the following:
1) Does the device have power?No brainer, if device does not have power, get it power.
2) Does the device have communication?If device does not have comms a field visit will be necessary.
3) Does the device have latency?If you made it this far device is communicating but with latency, time to sync the clock.
4) Check device/pair settings, not a device issue1) Check device settings, make sure device is active and date range is valid.
2) Check pair distances and speeds

TimeMost recent communication with device.
Special Note: In this report we can see that last readings were 8/18/2015 19:02. (Current date is 8/25/15) so device has been offline for 7 days.
It is important to note, when many devices are down on a network, compare their times with each other. If all went down at the same time, obvious network issue.
- This device was working fine then suddenly nothing, would need to visit in field.
Field visit check list(assuming device worked at some point):
Device on upon arrival? Can device power on?
Reboot, did it help (S1 slow flash)?
Yes No
Confirm IP/Gateway/Netmask with IT; issue resolved?
Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Page 17
LatencyThe device time is compared to the server time if a discrepancy(+/-) the amount of error will be displayed.
Special Note: If device is communicating use the remote web config tool to access device settings, and even reboot without a field visit. “Submit changes” will reboot the unit.
Never change the IP or Gateway unless certain, otherwise if setting incorrect a field visit will be needed.
Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Page 18
StatusFor every sequential HB +1 to Status. If Device resets, Status also resets to 0.
Special Note: When diagnosing a device, look for data around a 0 reset, it may tell you something about the device before it reset, such as a device latency increase where previously there was no latency.
VoltsTracks the input power, very helpful for tracking GTOAD Solar/Battery consumption.

Latitude/Longitude GPS Data is used for syncing clocks on devices
Special Note: GTOADS have on board batteries which are used to sync the clocks when GPS data is lost. A device only needs to sync with GPS 1/year to keep clocks insync.
SatsHow many GPS satellites are triangling the device.

RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)
Special Note: If high interference and jumping between GSM Channels device may need an external antenna to help boost a signal to the best channel available.
GSM BER (Bit Error Rate)Between 0 & -5 OKIf lower than -5.1 increased interference until finally a drop-off, if does not recover.
GSM ChannelCan inform you if device is jumping recievers.

This is how we calculate solar panel and battery sizing:
## Amp Hour Consumption ##:GTOAD is 1.8Watts
1.8watts / 12volts * 24 hours a day = a total of 3.6 amp hours in a 24hr period.
## PV Amp Hours Required ##:3.6 / 3 sun peak hours(in chicago - midwest) = 1.2 array amps.
20 watt is 1.19 array amps, 30 watt is 1.79 array amps, 50 watt is ~2.7 array amps.
## Sun Peak Hours ##:-- This is what is required from the solar panel to restore the energy
consumed by the load with ~3 avg peak sun hours, which covers the majority of the US.-- use a different Sun Peak Hour number for a different region if required.
## Battery Consumption ##for the battery @ 25C:
36 ahr battery / 3.6 ahr a day = 10 days down to 0% capacity.44 ahr battery / 3.6 ahr a day = 12 days down to 0% capacity.
Note: @0C the battery capacity is reduced by 50%
