List, Just thought I'd update you on the resolution. A good old reboot of each workstation cured it all, so over reliance on the pref command was a mistake. Plus, just for good measure, one of the buttons on an annunciator keypad (previously spare) was not working. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Loudermilk, Virgil: Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 10:11 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] Suddenly loading the AApan file doesn't work to assign displays to the annunciator keypad Peter, I did that, and the dump file showed the same displays that I loaded, so that's what has me so perplexed. I'm starting to think there might be some oddity with these new displays, so I think I'll try displays that are known to work and see if that works. I also thought maybe we needed to do the clearalarm panel command, but that is the first thing the AApan file does. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruley, Peter T Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 8:54 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] Suddenly loading the AApan file doesn't work to assign displays to the annunciator keypad Perhaps what you are loading is not actually getting into the panel. There is a way to dump the memory of the annuciator panel to get the configuration that is actually being executed on the station. It is something like this: pref -LBUG ascmd printalmpnl (or it might be "prtalmpnl" I can't remember off hand) This will create a file in /usr/fox/alarms with a "WPLOGICNAME.prt" (look for the "prt" extension) Then have a look at the dump file to see if it matches your configuration.
