6.2 Led
The “PWR, RUN, DATA, ERR” leds are the system leds while the “L1, L2, L3 and L4” leds are used to display different data depending on conditions/application settings.
6.2.1 Alerts
6.2.1.1 Leds meaning
Led Color State Description PWR Green 
Bridge operative and communication module initialized. 
If this is the only lampegiante, led shows the status of communication module initialization. If DATA led flashing, reports that the Bridge is in edit mode Configurazione/Configuration Mode. RUN Green 
Bridge waitingEnabling the connection. 
Short blinking = Bridge waiting Activation command connection.
Slow blinking = Bridge to connect/disconnect to/from network QNet.
Bridge connected to the network QNet. DATA Yellow 
If the PWR led is on, report the arrival the network information by QNet.
If the PWR led flashing, report that the bridge is in Configurazione/Configuration Mode.ERR Rosso 
If all other leds are in OFF, report an hardware error. See the section Hardware error codes.
If the PWR led is flashing, report an error during the initialization phase of the communication module. In the case of GPRS modem make sure you have inserted the SIM card and the PIN code.
If the RUN led is flashing, report an error during the QNet network connection. In the case of the GPRS modem make sure you have signal (see the section Antenna signal strength).
You can view a description of the error message by using the utility BridgeConfigurator.6.2.1.2 Hardware error codes
If a malfunction is detected when power on of any devices, the system hangs and the error is reported by the blinking of the led only
ERR while all the other leds remain in OFF.
The flashing numbers indicates the error type as to the following table:
Flashing numbers Error 1 Exception 2 FPGA 3 Media 4 Bootloader 5 Firmware 6 Resource 7 Modem 8 Memory write 
Each of these reports indicates a serious error. The product must be sent to customer support QEM. 6.2.1.3 Antenna signal strength
If you have a Bridge with GPRS modem antenna signal strength value (RSSI) you receive through the flashing of leds L1, L2, L3, L4.

7. The QNet network
The QNet network provides the structure for connecting two or more QRM nodes (Qem Resource Manager) through the Internet network.
7.1 The QRC server
The QRC (Qem Resources Control) server, is a server QEM that manages the connection permissions between the various network QNet nodes.
7.2 The QRM-QRMB
The QRM (Qem Resource Manager) or the QRMB (Qem Resource Manager for Bridge) are the Nodes that share, using the resources, the means to access more tools Qem.
7.3 The network QNet resources
Are considered resources all communication channels provided by various nodes QRM-QRMB to connect the different QMove systems.
7.4 Directions for network administrators
The connection to the QNet network using an encrypted protocol.
On a LAN network, therefore every Bridge will open a connection TCP/IP OUT on the gate 8005 way the server QEM QRC at the address qrc.q-move.eu (188.95.77.82). To enable the auto-update the firmware it is also necessary that the Bridge can take advantage of the FTP Protocol (gate TCP/IP 20-21) always log on to the server at the address in QEM QRC qrc.q-move.eu (188.95.77.82). To enhance safety on the LAN every other type of communication can be blocked.8. General information of operation
8.1 Introduction
This chapter will introduce some concepts and describes some product operations. These contents are partly related and implemented in the firmware.
8.2 The Bridge resources
Are considered resources all the comunication channels provided by the Bridge to connect more QMove systems. The channel word will be synonymous with resource.
All serial port (COM) on the Bridge are resources. In the base versione there are two serials: COM1 and COM2. With the expansion is available the serial: COM3.
In the case of presence of the Ethernet port, 3 channels of communication are generated: LAN1, LAN2, LAN3.
In the maximum configuration, the Bridge can have 6 channels of communication, that can be connected to a QMove system.
8.3 The Manager channel
Is there a particular communication channel, used exclusively by the QNet network called Manager.
It safeguard all communication to the QRMB.8.4 Conditions and Enables
To ensure that the Bridge run is the status of the connection if desired Enable the connection.
By default, the condition is satisfied as long as the I1 input is active. When the condition Enable the connection is satisfied, for default, the O1 output is active.8.5 Operating States
This section describes the operating States.
8.5.1 Boot
The Boot phase, is the first to be performed after switching on (or the reset) of the instrument.
During this phase runs a scan of all leds.
If an hardware failure is detected, the system hangs and only ERR led flashes indicating the type of error (see the section Hardware error codes).8.5.2 Recognition and Hardware configuration
The Bridge check that all devices are operational.
The phase is signalled by the blinking of the PWR led only.
In case of error the ERR led starts blinking.
One of the possible errors, in the presence of the Modem 3G module, is the non-inclusion of the SIM CARD or the PIN error (parameter gprs1_pin).8.5.3 Connection request waiting
The Bridge is waiting to connect to the network QNet network.
The PWR led is steadily lit.
The RUN led, if in OFF, indicates that the conditions of qualification for the connection isn't verified.
When the enable conditions are met, the RUN led start flashes briefly and the O1 output is active.8.5.4 Connection to a QNet network
The Bridge is connecting to the QNet network.
The PWR led is in ON and steadily lit and the RUN led is flashing continuously.
8.5.5 Firmware Upgrade
If the SW1 dip n°5 (AUTOUPDATE) is ON, before connecting to the QNet network, the Bridge check if a firmware update.
If it discovers an new firmware, it gets downloaded.
This stage is marked by a continuous flashing of L1, L2, L3 e L4 leds.

• At the end of the download the Bridge goes in the BOOT state to store in the flash the new firmware.
• DO NOT TURN OFF the Bridge.Finished updating, the Bridge will automatically reboot.
8.5.6 Error
The error message occurs with the ERR led.
The Bridge, in some cases, attempts to do so failed.8.6 Configuration
