Troubleshooting tips
When using Firmware Update software you may sometimes get a Communication Error message.
When updating a unit and a Communication Error message appears, do the following:
1. Check that the Serial download cable’s connector is connected to the Switch’s
Communication port.
2. Check that the Serial download cable’s DB9F connector is connected to the DB9M Serial
port on the CPU’s rear panel.
3. Restart the download process.
Power failure
If the power fails while updating the SCOUTutp firmware, do the following:
If the power fails during the firmware update of the Switch, a Communication Error message appears.
Simply resume the firmware update by opening the folder that contains the firmware update file and
continue from there.
If the electricity fails during the firmware update of the cables a Not Responding or Upgrade Error
message appears. Restart the upgrade from the beginning.
USB / SUN Combo keys
The connected PS/2 keyboard does not have a special SUN keypad to perform special functions in
the SUN Operating System environment. So when a USB or SUN ADAPTOR is connected to a SUN
computer, the ADAPTOR emulates these SUN keys using a set of key combinations called Combo
keys. See the table below.
