Appendix - Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Symptom:

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

pletely, 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 Ethernet cable - VIB 5.331
• Connect VIBXPERT to the serial port and to the network connector

of the PC.

• Start the VIBXPERT update tool on the PC.

•  Click on the 'Start Emergency Recovery' button.
•  In the next screen, set up the COM port to be used on the PC.
•  Enter the IP address that is to be used by VIBXPERT.

‘Local IP address’ appears only if the PC has access to more than

one network (virtual or physical). In this case, specify the IP ad-

dress of the PC to be used for communication with VIBXPERT.

• Click on OK.
