Expression 3 - ETC

Characteristics of the display
The display contains the following three elements: (1) the title line, (2) an
inventory of network devices, and (3) the Remote Units list. The title line
names the display and identifies the version of code on the diskette you
used to bring up the display (the upgrade diskette). The device inventory,
located below the title line, identifies all possible ETC network interface
devices by type, version number and CRC number. For a device in your
network to be compatible with the code on the upgrade diskette, both the
version number and the CRC number must match.
Your console will detect remote interface devices operating on your
network by listing them in the Remote Units list. From this list, you can
make the following determinations.
• Are any interface devices in your network not showing up in the list?
• Does every device in your network display a software version that
matches the version for that type in the device inventory?
• Does every device in your list display a CRC number that matches the
CRC number for that type in the device inventory?
Devices missing from the Remote Units list
There can be several problems preventing an interface device from
showing up on the Remote Units list, most of which are easily correctable.
First of all, verify power to a missing device as well as to the hub to which
it is connected, if any. Second, verify all network connections along the
network route along between the console and the missing device. If a
missing device is an ETCNet2 node, set the protocol to ETCNet by
pressing [S5], Discover Nodes, and wait ten seconds. If all efforts fail, see
Help from ETC Technical Services, page 10, for information about getting
technical assistance.
Incorrect version or CRC number
If one or more devices on your Remote Units list does not show the
correct version or CRC number, perform a software upgrade for that
device. You have three options.
• Upgrade one unit
Use the console’s arrow keys to move the cursor to the unit. Press
[S3], Update This Unit.
• Upgrade some units
Use the console’s arrow keys to move the cursor to a unit you want
upgraded. Press [S8], Mark This Unit, to select that unit. If you want
to upgrade others at the same time, repeat this marking procedure for
each unit. An M will appear in the lines of marked units. When finished
marking, press [S2], Update Marked, to upgrade the marked units.
• Upgrade all units
Press [S1], Update All Units, to download to all remote units at once.
While code is loading to a remote unit, the percent completion for that unit
is shown in the display’s Status column. When the word Pass appears,
the upgrade for that unit is complete.
NOTE: It is normal for software to load faster to an ETCNet2 device than
to a Remote Interface Unit or to a Remote Video Interface device.
Finish
1. Remove the Remote Unit Upgrade disk from the console disk drive.
2. Turn the console off.
