Module initialization
Modules need to be initialized when they are received at the station.
IMPORTANT: This step will erase all data on the disks! Never initiliaze after data has been recorded!
- Mount the modules into the recorders(s). Connect the cables matching the color codes on the recorder.
- Turn the keys on the recorder. Be patient: wait until one modules finishes startup (three green LED above the module are on) before turning the next key.
- log into the recorder as user oper
- start da-client and execute:
mod_init=1:8:{VSN1}:sg:new
Replace {VSN1} by the VSN of the module loaded in slot 1 (find VSN on the front sticker on the module). The initialization can take a while (a few minutes). During the process check that the LEDs on the module light up one by one. Repeat the steps for slots 2, 3 and 4:mod_init=2:8:{VSN2}:sg:new mod_init=3:8:{VSN3}:sg:new mod_init=4:8:{VSN4}:sg:new
- check the results. In da-client execute:
mstat?all
This should print something like:
!mstat?0:0:-:1:MPIH%008/48008/4/8:8:8:-:48008:initialized:null:sg:-:2:MPIH%005/48008/4/8:8:8:-:48008:initialized:null:sg:-:3:MPIH%007/48008/4/8:8:8:-:48008:initialized:null:sg:-:4:MPIH%006/48008/4/8:8:8:-:48008:initialized:null:sg;
