PROGRAM RESTART PROCEDURES
VM 3000, SI 3000, Saturn Reset
There are three ways to reset these controllers:
A . Control Center
Go to “Start > Programs > Jupiter Network Suite > JNS Applications > Control Center.” Then
select the “Configuration” tab and “Reboot.” This will reset all controllers in the system. Or, select
the “Board Info /Control” tab and toggle on the board you want to reset; then click “Reboot” (note
that having different versions of software or configuration tables between boards can cause sys-
tem instability). For more information about the Control Center, see page 9−1.
B . Cycle Power
C . Probe
Use of a Probe cable is described in Appendix C.
During a reset, the VM/SI will test itself and, depending on the result, may request a new download from the file server.
File Server Restart
To reset the file server, press and hold the CTRL, ALT, and DEL keys at the same time. Or, press the hardware reset button
on the computer. Or, turn the power off and on.
CLEARING BATTERY−PROTECTED MEMORY (PMEM)
VM/SI 3000/Saturn
If the reset procedure just described fails to solve the problem, clear the Pmem (battery−protected memory).
Note: When PMEM is cleared, all switcher status will be lost (but no switches will take place.) If an SI 3000 is
cleared, the switcher status will be restored automatically; however, if a VM 3000 is cleared the switcher status
will not be restored until the switches are manually re−taken. In addition, machine control links (as described on
page 5−149) will have to be re−established.
Proceed as follows:
Go to “Start > Programs > Jupiter Network Suite > JNS Applications > Control Center.” Then select the “Board Info /Control”
tab and toggle on the board you want to clear; then click “Clear PMEM.” After Pmem has been cleared the boards will be
reset automatically. For more information about the Control Center, see page 9−1.
