How do you check to make sure the CM19A is working?
« on: February 19, 2007, 12:16:12 PM »

Since I've gotten the cameras, I can't see more than one camera at a time and I read that the light on the CM19A should blink every now and then but I have never seen mine blink.  How do you check to see if the CM19A is even working?  Thanks.

Only one wireless camera can be on at any one time. If more than one is on they will most times interfere with each other.
The addressable power supplies work in groups of 4. 1-4;5-8;9-12 and 13-16. Turn any one in a group on the other three turn off. More than 5 requires software to turn off all but one at a time.

Every one that has x10 has an appliance module or light module laying arround don't they?  ???
Just plug in a lamp to one of these set to the same address as one of the cams if the light comes on when you switch to that cam the CM19A is working! ;)

Are you referring to the transceiver module?  Does each X10 camera need its own transceiver module?

Each cam doesn't need it's own transceiver module unless you  have them on different House codes (a,b,c,d......)
If your transceiver module has a outlet in it plug a lamp into it then send the address of the transceiver module from the CM19A ON then Off if the light comes on and goes off then the CM19A is working. Some transceiver modules click when turned on/off so you may hear it!
You don't state which software your using to controll your CM19A so I can't be more specific! ;)
