Help me, my SLR 5100 is locked.

[Lablab]

I was conducting tests in my workplace laboratory, configuring an IP SITE CONNECT system between four SLR 5100 repeaters (one master and three others). The goal was to enable over-the-air programming with the MOTOTRBO RM system and others. Everything was going well until, suddenly, the first LED on the front panel of the slave repeater, the one with the bell symbol, changed from green to red. To try to figure out what was wrong, I tried to read it on the RDAC, but it appears “locked” with padlocks and I can't see what the problem is. I tried to delete the entire codeplug and program it from scratch, but it is still locked. I transformed it into a separate master and changed its IP address, all in order to read it, but it is still locked and the red LED is on. I don't know what to do.

Here in this photo, I am reading it remotely via USB, but the same thing happens if I read it via IP.
In the RDAC documentation, in the section on “status: locked,” it says that to fix it, you have to call a technician to look at the codeplug... I don't see anything in the codeplug. Anyway, if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

Your repeater is locked. You need to read the RDAC or alarm log and see why. Typically it is high VSWR or some hardware failure. Do you have antennas or dummy loads on the transmit ports?

Hello, thank you very much! I was able to read the RDAC log, and it turns out that it was a manufacturing defect in the power supply board.

Sometimes if you read, then write it with CPS it will unlock it.

Firmware seems really old. Read it and write it again. Or, unplug for 60 seconds and plug it back in. Upgrade FW to latest you can.

The SLR5700 was first released in 2015 -- Firmware from the release notes "Repeater: SLR 5700 R01.02.00". So you are missing some 10 years of bug fixes and enhancements.

You can walk it forward to R2.10.10, but I'm not sure you can jump directly.

Then you can buy an Entitlement and walk it forward in the M202x releases.

Repeater - SLR 1000, SLR 5000, SLR 8000 - R20.25.01.11 is current.

Also, you need to look at the RDAC logs to find out what's going on under the covers.
