Hello.
I cant manage to repair the Xerox WCP 245 controler. It doesnt turn on. The power supply works ok! When I connect power cable, nothing happend. It looks like there is no power. When I close the wire , see the picture
20120827_200532.jpg
fans start operate but, after release they stop.
That's it.
Thanks
Somehow after many times turn on and off the power, and reconnect all the stuff I can even reconnect the controller tries to be alive.
I need to reinstall the system software, but I don't know how. It looks different to compare with Xerox DC 555.
Here is a log file:

The documentation for DC 555 doesn't say anything about IP address. What IP should I set?
I have all the stuff for DC555 including documentations and cables.You need serial and crossover cable and proper files for altboot.
And I have only D132724000_00_1.DLM I think its for WC 245. That is only I have. Do I need anything more?Choose option 2 Download Linux Netboot Image

I had that message once but can't remember what was the cause. Maybe you use wrong version of AltBoot.
Check your PM.

Thanks for reply and PM.
I've got the same fail message
Looks like you dont have the ip address set up correct.
You need an image file, the .DLM is not enough
Here is the Doco:Software Loading Using AltBoot
NOTE:
After this procedure, the machines NVM values will be reset to default. If necessary, perform a NVM Save and Restore. Refer to GP 5 Portable Work Station and Tools.
To restore the XSA data, use the customers XSA data backup (clone) file on the customers PC. Refer to the Customer Administrators Guide CD.
NOTE:
This procedure will vary, dependent on which version of Windows is being used.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to record the current network settings if they are being used by another application.
- If possible, print a copy of the latest configuration report.
- Disable the PWS Wireless Network Connection and the PWS Windows Firewall.[IMG]pws://file/XEROX/XPWS/data/comment/BUS_Note.gif[/IMG]
- Set the TCP / IP address on the PWS. Perform the following:
- Open Start / Control Panel / Network and Internet Connections / Network Connections / Local Area Connections.
- Open Local Area Connection.
- In the General tab, click on the properties button.
- Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) icon.
- Click on the Properties button.
- Select Use the following IP address.
NOTE:
Before changing the TCP / IP address, record the original IP address and Subnet mask. The original settings must be reset at the end of this procedure.- Refer to the configuration report for IP address of the machine. Set the IP address of the PWS one number higher than the machine. For example, if the IP address of the machine is 192.168.196.112, set the IP address of the PWS to 192.168.196.113.
- Refer to the configuration report for Subnet mask of the machine. Set the Subnet mask of the PWS to the same as the Subnet mask of the machine.
NOTE:
A default gateway setting is not required.- Click on OK to close the properties dialog box.
- Click on OK to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
- If any settings have been changed, it will be necessary to reboot the PWS.
Hardware requirements:
- PWS version 8.1 or higher.
- Serial cable, PL 26.10 Item 12
- 9 way gender changer, PL 26.10 Item 1.
- Ethernet crossover cable, PL 26.10 Item 6
- Correct machine PWS Diagnostic Tools.
Software requirements:
- Linux.netboot - Linux Kernal File.
- kfs*.gz - Linux Root File System File.
- *.dim - Image File.
These files are found on the System Software CD.
If the BIOS needs updating it will also be necessary to have the following file:
- Iroot_os-bup.gz_BIOS Upgrade File
Before connecting any of the cables it is important to ensure the laptop has IP address assigned to it. This is only an issue if the laptop has never been connected to a network before. If is has not you should look under ‘Control Panel -> Network and dialup Settings -> local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) Your Control Panel -> Network -> TCP / IP Your network Card’ depending on which operating system you are using. If not specified then you should enter an IP Address such as 192.168.0.2.
NOTE:
If using an older operating system you may be asked to reboot at this stage.
If you use DHCP and have connected to a network previously there will be no need to change the current setting.
It is important to perform the following steps prior to attempting an Ailrtboot:
- Ensure that the network controller is powered down.
- Remove the network controller ethernet cable so it is not connected to the local network.
- Connect the special crossover ethernet cable from the laptop network port to the network controller network port.
NOTE:
SMP2 software has a network 802.1x Authentication option. If this option is enabled the PWS will not connect to the network controller. To make a successful connection to the network controller, login as the machine’s administrator via the user interface. Use the on screen tabs and browse to, Tools mode / Connectivity/network setup / 802.1x, then select disabled.- Connect the null modem serial cable from the laptop serial port to the network controller serial port.
- Start the AlternateBoot Application.
- Power on the network controller.
- When the AltBoot application is complete. Enable the PWS Wireless Network Connection and the PWS Windows Firewall.
