module recovery

[iroba]

I want to send the bin file to an expansion module via dte port, the tftp doesn't display de mac address of the expansion modules, only the mail unit. How should I create the bootp entry?

Huh?


You cannot send the bin file directly to a module, therefore the module doesn't have a network connection, no MAC address and no IP address.
Connect the expansion module to the unpowered main unit, Run the manager on your PC with a fixed IP address and start the IP Office up ( module must be powered before ).
The main unit will load the module bins and send it to the module.

I already have the module connected to the main unit but, when you have a main unit with and expansion module, the first time, it recognizes it and add the bootp entry automatically. Then, if you connect directly to the dte port and type the at-x command, you can erase the .bin file and send it without problem because it was recognized before by the same main unit.

The problem is that i have an expansion module with the red light because someone erased the bin file (at-x), and i'm trying to recover it with a new main unit that didn't recognize the expansion module before.

someone help me!!!

Try adding a good module to your IPO system unit to get the module recognised in the CFG, then replace it with the bad.

i still can't recover my expansion module, is common that the expansion port fails??? for a hardware damage??

It's not common but I have seen it happen. Is the module still in warranty? If so just get it replaced.
