Each bay has its own Ethernet server that handles the control connections to and from the panels and internal network switch.

The server can be restarted from the front panel (as shown below). The procedure is the same for Bayservers (in channel bays) and the Gateserver (in the centre section). Note that if you restart the Gateserver, then this will affect the whole console.

You should perform this procedure if the graphics on an individual display freeze or look odd. Or, if the controls and indicators on a panel do not respond or update. These symptoms can sometimes occur if the server looses its Ethernet connection to the mc2 control system.

1.    Using a pointed object, press the recessed button at the top of the display:

2.    The server restarts in a few seconds; during this time you will see the boot-up screen on the display.

3.    Once complete, communication with the control system is re-established, and the Channel Display (or Central GUI) is reinstated.
