How can I switch active controller on a table "reset".

Hello

last week, I got a new PS4100 who was on a firmware more old than my existing group level, so I had to install it in its own group first to be able to update the firmware. So I plugged everything, even a cable series CM0 and left of the data center. Remote, I have the initial configuration and finally updated the firmware.

That I could issue a reset command if I could do the initial configuration and attach it to the existing group.

BUT: after resetting, apparently it starts in CM1 so now I can't do any magic to it. If I connect to CM0 he says is not the active controller and I can not perfom orders.

So, how could I have done this? and how to adjust the machine. (please don't tell me to go to the data center to route the cable from the console... I think that as a rather stupid approach!)

Hello

When you did the firmware update is likely when he swapped the controllers.  There are two ways to set the table, either via the serial cable or using the 'remove Setup Wizard'.  (RSW)  Which is available for WIndows or Linux.  (Limited distribution)

The computer running RSW must be on the same subnet as the array.   RSW will allow you to add it to your existing group.

Since you have more than one table, you can invest in a server terminal server.  They are not very expensive and I find them extremely useful, especially during the firmware update.  My preference is to go through series so I can watch the entire process and in the unlikely case where there is a problem, you're already hooked and ready for triage. For example, a compact flash fails.

Kind regards

Don
