EtherTracks Startup

4.Await EPROM upload. Refer to the "Matrix3 Repair Procedures" section for more information.

Subsystem Initialization Failure

Subsystem initialization failure will usually result in a general system failure. The system will display an error message (see LX-300 Error Codes (p. 43)) and "REBO", and flash the Watchdog LED red and green.

Subsystem failure usually indicates a failure in the LX-DSP or LX-LNK modules. Some subsystems can fail without causing a system failure. If the EtherTracks, internal time code, or SMPTE time code subsystems fail, the system at large can continue to work without these features.

EtherTracks Startup

In systems that have an LX-ELC EtherTracks module installed, the boot sequence will continue as follows:

1.Initialize the LX-ELC EtherTracks module, and display "ETRX" on the Frame Status.

2.Load the boot program. An error message will be displayed if a failure occurs.

3.Load LX-ELC Linux kernel. When successful, the Frame Status will alternate between displaying the MAC address and the IP address of the LX-ELC module. An error message will be displayed if a failure occurs.

4.Start the Linux EtherTracks server.

5.Start LX-ELC communications, and continuously perform the following:

Monitor system conditions.

Display "/OK\" twirlies in the Frame Status.

Scroll any messages across the Frame Status.

Update time code and meter displays.

Update communication LED displays.
