Question
Why does an XR240amx detector connect to the AP but not get a proper IP address?
Short Answer
Use the AP client list to verify the detector is recognized and has an assigned IP address, then reboot the detector and system if needed.
Possible Causes
Unrecognized detector connection; failed IP assignment; AP pairing state issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Run the AP clients diagnostic, confirm the detector is listed and has a proper IP, then reboot the detector and system. If AP power was lost, detectors may need to be paired again.

Detector fails to boot wirelessly
Error Code System Message
Question
Why does my XR240amx detector fail to boot wirelessly?
Short Answer
Confirm the detector is registered, paired, selected as primary, and can boot successfully on the tether connection.
Possible Causes
Detector not registered; too many detectors registered; detector not primary; detector not paired; wireless communication failure.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify detector registration and primary status. Pair the detector in the charging bin. Attempt a tethered boot to isolate the fault to wireless communication. If tether boot succeeds but wireless fails, continue AP/wireless diagnostics and collect a system snapshot if needed.

Mechanical impact or internal detector damage.
Troubleshooting Steps
Remove the detector from clinical use until the required quality-assurance procedure (QAP) is completed and passes. Inspect the detector for physical damage and escalate if the QAP fails.
