Hints for operation
The common web technology has many advantages but also a few disadvantages. Most of the
information displayed relies on the data the
browser
receives on demand from the web server of the
communication processor
, i.e. it polls the web server for data. The polling process is divided into
time slices of different priorities and the browser content will not be updated automatically for all areas,
so a manual reload is recommended if you are not sure about the parameters you see in the GUI.
If a module dies or someone removes a module from the frame, the module graphic turns
red
:
You can only get rid of the
red
coloured module graphic by inserting a working module. If the module is
permanently removed you must reboot the Frame Controller. Press the
RESET
button on the front
panel briefly, select
REBOOT
CONTROLLER
from the web interface or select
“Reboot”
from the console menu. If the reboot was not initiated by the browser you will get a pop up that you
have been logged out and you must press the
<OK>
button.
If a module has problems with updating a firmware component (rarely seen with older hardware)
it may happen that this process is not successful and the module may stay in programming mode.
That mode is indicated by
orange
color instead of
red
as above. If you experience such behavior you
must start the update process again. On some occasions it might be necessary to power cycle that
specific module before starting the update process again.
It is always a good idea to connect to the console of the Frame Controller either by Telnet via TCP/IP
or natively by RS232 or USB to RS232 converter and to run a terminal program to observe the debug
printouts (see page 5).
