Chapter 7. Advanced troubleshooting
In the unlikely event of the user experiencing problems with the operation of the Minimus, a diagnostics tool is available via the GNSS connector. This connector provides a serial console which can be accessed using a terminal emulator.
The user should first plug in the serial adapter to the GNSS connector, which is then attached to a 9-pin COM port on your PC/laptop (if a 9-pin COM port is not available, a serial-to-USB converter should be used instead and connected to an available USB port. Güralp recommend converters based on the FTDI chip-set.)
A connection is then made using a terminal emulator, such as minicom under Linux or PuTTY under Windows. The appropriate COM port should be entered as the "Serial line", and the "Speed" should be set to 115200.
Next, select “Serial” from the bottom of the Category menu in the left-hand pane and check that the settings match those shown in the screen-shot below.
Finally click the
button and a terminal window will open, connected to the console of the Minimus.
In the event of any operational issues, the Güralp Support Team may request you to interact with the console in order to diagnose and fix problems.
7.1 Reset all settings during boot phase
The Minimus can be reset to its factory settings during its boot-up stage. This is useful in cases where the user is not able to communicate with the Minimus via a network connection, where the unit is not responsive, or where it does not appear in the Discovery software’s scan results.
To carry out a full system reset, connect to the terminal port via a serial connection (as described in Section 7). During the middle part of the boot phase, when the text @GURALP SYSTEMS and the firmware version number is displayed, key
+
. This causes all settings (except Username, Password and Bluetooth PIN) to revert to their factory default values, and the Minimus will re-boot. It may be necessary to enter this key combination several times.
A typical boot log is shown below, identifying the stages where
+
will cause the Minimus to reset and re-boot.
Do not press any buttons during the first phase of boot-up:
Rebooting system, please wait...
