Troubleshooting

Symptom:

VIBXPERT will not start up. The start procedure is not executed

completely, the display stops at the screen showing the LINUX

penguin.

Cause

: Failure in the flash memory.

Solution

: Reload the firmware.

Reloading firmware

Before reloading the firmware, ensure that the following

components are at hand or installed on the PC:
- VIBXPERT update tool version 1.47 or higher (see P. 2-37).

- Serial cable, VIB 5.430-2 and USB-Serial adapter, VIB 5.448, if

applicable.

- Ethernet cable - VIB 5.331
• Connect VIBXPERT to a laptop / desktop PC as follows:

- connect the digital interface (yellow socket) to a serial port via

cable VIB 5.430-2. If no serial interface is available, then use a

USB port and the additional USB serial adapter VIB 5.448.

- connect the communication interface (green socket) to the

network connector of the PC via Ethernet cable VIB 5.331.

• Start the VIBXPERT update tool on the PC.
• Click on the 'Start Emergency Recovery' button.
