In case of problems in the run control, if it is not possible to reinstall the crates in the "Ready" mode status,
it is possible to reboot them remotely via the software commands.
this can be done using the iolan windows.
first, open a Terminal, then write:
iolan must2 all
Two windows are opened, for each of the VXI crates. see snapshot IOLANmust2reboot.png
then it is possible to reboot the crates by writing in each of the gansterm terminals the "reboot" command.
(Note that a password is asked, it corresponds to the first letter of all the words between (La cigale ...l'été) in the famous sentence of La Fontaine's fable "La Cigale et la Fourmi" ("The Grasshopper and the Ant").
Then after the operation the run Control Narval should be ready (see snapshot).
If not, it means that we need to enter in the D6 room to reboot the crates directly by pushing the "SYS RES" button (using the tiny yellow screw) on the two crates:
start with the Master crate (ganlx1, the one with the main GMT and MUVI1), then press the button of the second crate (ganlx14, with the GMTslave and the second MUVI).
The click-click on each crate means that the reset is done.
(NB: Simultaneously, the two gansterm terminals show the lines of the on-going reboot operations).
