behaves strangely.

• Inability to make further downloads to the panel. May get "directory"

 

 

errors, "graphics hierarchy" errors, etc.… indicating problems with

• Panel will not boot, or gets stuck on "AMX" splash screen.

 

• Other problems also started after downloading to a new panel or a

 

panel with a TPD4 file that takes up a considerable amount of the

 

available Compact Flash.

 

Cause:

 

• If the G4 device already contains a large enough file, subsequent

 

downloads will take up more space than is available and could often

 

corrupt the Compact Flash. The demo file that typically ships with G4

 

panels is one such file.

 

Solution:

 

• DO NOT download TPD4 files (of large size) over the demo pages, or

 

any other large TPD4 file.

 

• First download a small blank one page file to the G4 panel using the

 

Normal Transfer option to send/download the page. Reboot the

 

device, then do your regular file or firmware download.
