2.4 Fixed or Portable DR Detector Return Procedure
This section defines the roles and responsibilities between VARIAN and AGFA when
it comes to necessary exchanges of the VARIAN flat panel detector due to failure.
The customer generally contacts the local AGFA NSO, when a problem with the AGFA
DR-System is encountered.
The local AGFA NSO sends a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to analyze and possibly fix
the problem. In case of a DR detector failure the Agfa FSE always needs to escalate to
Agfa Level 2 (Tier 1) support for confirmation (GSC case).
For failure assessment the data listed in section 10 are required in the GSC case.
If failure is confirmed then Level 2/Level 3 support will supply the FSE with A Return
Material Authorization (RMA), further instructions to order a new DR Detector and to
return the defect one.
IMPORTANT:
An immediate return of the DR Detector to the AGFA spare parts logistic center is
necessary, to make optimal use of the warranty period.
For fast processing of the DR Detector exchange it is essential to make sure that
all data mentioned above is available at time of escalation.

Before starting with the disassembly and re-assembly of the Wireless DR Detector
refer to chapter 3 - Safety Instructions for safety descriptions.


3.3.1 X-ray Interface Box
3.3.1.1 Replacing the PCA-XIF Board
(1) Turn off the power of the X-ray interface box (by disconnecting the AC adapter).
(2) Disconnect the LAN cable and grounding wire.
NOTE:
Do not pull the cables free in order to disconnect the connectors.
When re-assembling the parts, follow the procedure for their
disassembly in reverse unless otherwise specified.
(3) Remove the two screws on the bottom panel of the X-ray interface box.
(4) Remove the six crews on the side panels.
(5) Slide the top cover of the X-ray interface box toward the side where the
connectors of the box are connected, and lift to remove it.
NOTE:
Do not incline the top cover too far since doing so may damage the
inside of the X-ray interface box.
Figure 8
(6) Remove the eight screws used to secure the PCA-XIF board.


(7) Lift the PCA-XIF board in the direction shown by the red arrows.
Figure 9
(8) Mount the PCA-XIF Board in reverse order.
3.3.2 PCA-XIF Board Firmware Updating and Recovery
The PCA-XIF board has two code areas where the firmware is stored:
 One area for backup code positioned at the head of the ROM
 One area for the normal codes stored in an intermediate area of the ROM
When the power is turned on, the backup code initializing routine boots, and the
backup code body boots when the normal codes have been erased for some reason or
when the BOOTSEL switch on the board has been pressed.
Unless other specific action is taken, this routine boots the normal code body.
For regular updating only the normal codes are updated.
This has the effect of preventing the board from failing to boot since the backup codes
at the ROM head are preserved even if a power failure should occur during updating,
for example.


3.3.2.1 Accessing the Web Browser Tool
For the connection between the PCA-XIF board and the NX, a crossover cable must be
used.
The default IP address of the board is: 192.168.100.96/255.255.255.0

IP address of the PC used to communicate with the PCA-XIF board must have the
IP address that belongs to the same network.
(Recommended address: 192.168.100.10/255.255.255.0)
(1) Enter the IP address of the PCA-XIF board in the URL field of the web browser.
Default IP address as factory: 192.168.100.96
If the IP address has been changed and no longer known refer to

section 3.3.3.1 Forced backup boot operation
(2) Input the user name and password, as described in the training.
3.3.2.2 Checking the Firmware Version
(1) Click <status view> to display

information on the actual firmware
version, boot reason and network
configuration.
Figure 10: Status View screen
(2) Click <return to top> to open

the top menu screen.
Figure 11: Status View screen


3.3.2.3 Updating the normal Codes
(1) Click <firmware update>.
Figure 12: Top Menu screen
NOTE:
Do not make any changes in the “ROM
Area” input field.
(2) Click <Browse> to select the

firmware file.
Te firmware used has the
extension: .ehex Figure 13: XIF firmware update screen
(3) Click: <UPDATE>
It takes 10 to 20 seconds until the screen appears:

XIF firmware update was successfully done


3.3.2.4 Update Verification
(1) Return to the top menu screen.

(2) Click <status view>.
Figure 14: Top Menu screen
(3) Check the firmware version (running).

(4) Check that the version in the normal area (Flash #1) has been updated.
NOTE:
To activate the updated firmware press the RESET switch on the PCA-XIF board.
3.3.2.5 Updating the Backup Codes
IMPORTANT:
The backup codes should not be updated unless otherwise specified such as when a
fatal bug is found in the backup codes.
The procedure to update the backup codes is virtually the same as the procedure for
the normal codes.
To update the backup codes, except for inputting “flash0” (half-size lower-case
characters with no spaces) in the “ROM Area” input field, follow the same procedure as
for the normal codes.
When the updating has been completed successfully, check that the version in the
backup area (Flash #0) has been updated.


3.3.2.6 Telnet Connections
Subsequent to Windows Vista, telnet which is the PC application for logging in to the
PCA-XIF board is not installed under the standard setup. However, a telnet connection
with the PCA-XIF can still be established by using TeraTerm.
Perform following steps when TeraTerm is used:
(1) Start up TeraTerm.

(2) On the setting screen, set:
 TCP/IP as the connection method
 The IP address of the PCA-IF board as the host address
 Telnet (change from the default of SSH) as the Service
 23 (default) as the port number
(3) Click <OK> to initiate the telnet connection.
Perform following steps when the telnet client is used:
(1) Select: <Control Panel  Programs  Windows functions enable

or disable>
(2) Enable: <telnet client>
(3) Start the command prompt, input the “IP address of the telnet PCA-XIF board”,
and establish the telnet connection.
(4) The login prompt can be input simply by pressing <return> without entering the
login name or password.
(5) When XIF_GUEST appears, login is completed.
(6) To log out, use the <bye> command.


3.3.3 PCA-XIF Board Firmware Recovery
It is possible for the firmware in the normal area to be erased or damaged if the
updating has failed because a communication error occurred while the normal area
firmware was being updated or because the power of the X-ray interface box was
turned off.
If the normal area firmware has been erased, the backup code body can be booted by
the backup code initializing routine when the power is turned off and then back on so
the firmware can be updated again.
However, if the normal area firmware has been damaged, the backup code body will
not be booted simply by turning the power off and then back on, and it will be
necessary to forcibly boot the backup codes.
This section describes how to perform the forced backup booting operation and also
the precautions to be heeded.
3.3.3.1 Forced Backup Boot Operation
If the normal area firmware has been damaged, the firmware in the backup area can be
forcibly booted by operating the switches on the board.
(1) Start pressing the RESET switch and BOOTSEL switch on the PCA-XIF board at
the same time.
(2) With the BOOTSEL switch still held down, release the RESET switch first.
(3) Wait for one second, and then release the BOOTSEL switch.
Figure 15


When the firmware has been booted as a result of taking the steps above, the
IP address and MAC address are set to the default values.
Default settings:
 IP address: 192.168.100.96
 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default gateway: 0.0.0.0
 MAC address: 00:1E:8F:CA:87:80
NOTE:
 Since the IP address and MAC address (separate values different from
00:1E:8F:CA:87:80) written in the flash memory are displayed as the IP address
and MAC address indicated in the network settings on the Status View screen for
the Web browser, the default values will not be displayed even if forced backup
start is implemented.
 Even after forced backup start has been implemented, the original IP address
and separate MAC address are stored on the flash memory so the original
addresses will be restored when normal start is initiated.
Since a separate MAC address is written for the PCA-XIF board, care is required
when proceeding with forced backup booting.
NOTE:
Since the operating system of the PC remembers the separate MAC address of the
PCA-XIF board, the PC tries communicating with the default MAC address of the
PCA-XIF board while the separate MAC address remains valid, and communication
may fail.
For details on how to avoid this kind of situation, refer to section 3.3.3.2 Concerning
ARP clear for the PC.


3.3.3.2 Concerning ARP Clear for the PC
On the PC, open the command prompt, and execute the following command:
arp – d *
The above arp command has the effect of clearing the separate MAC address of the
PCA-XIF board stored in the memory of the PC’s operating system and of re-initiating
the inquiry.
Unless this step is taken, even though the MAC address of the board is switched to the
default value by the forced backup boot operation, the PC will still try communicating to
the separate MAC address used before the switch, and no further communication may
be possible by the telnet terminal or web browser.
NOTE:
The operating system of the PC stores the IP address and MAC address
correspondence table in the memory, and reset is initiated when the PC is rebooted or
there has been no communication for a certain period of time.
This means that it is not always necessary to execute the ARP command.
It is necessary only when communication is to be performed immediately to a different
MAC address using the same IP address.
It may also be necessary after the PCA-XIF board has been replaced when the IP
address matches and communication is to be tried immediately.
In a PC using Windows Vista or a later operating system, an error results when

the above command is simply executed even if the user is the administrator.
To execute the command correctly, the command prompt for executing the arp
command must be booted in the Run as administrator mode.


To boot the command prompt in the <Run as administrator> mode,

proceed as follows:
(1) Select: <All Programs  Accessories>

(2) Right-click on <Command Prompt> and select <Run as administrator>.
Figure 16


3.3.4 Additional Information
3.3.4.1 Changing the IP Address of the PCA-XIF Board
The IP address of the PCA-XIF board can be changed or checked using the ipadr
command in the telnet connection status.
Example 1: When changing the IP address from “192.168.100.96” to “192.168.100.97”

XIF_GUEST>ipadr –ip 192.168.100.97
NOTE:
 The power must be turned off and turned back on for the new setting to be
reflected.
 To set the IP address of the PCA-XIF board into the detector, start the AP/LNK
configuration tool of Service Tool, and take the following steps:
(1) Input the IP address (192.168.100.97 in this case) of the PCA-XIF board
which has been changed to the X-ray interface address on the Configuration
tab screen.
(2) Press: <Save>
(3) Bring the infrared communication area of the Wireless DR Detector close to the
infrared communication unit, and proceed with the LNK operation.
NOTE:
After ipadr-ip 192.168.100.97 has been input, the “New setting takes effect after
power cycling” message is displayed.
Before turning the power back on, input ipadr and when the current status is checked,
192.168.100.96 will be displayed for current and 192.168.100.97 for the flash memory.
At this point in time, it is clear that only 192.168.100.97 has been written in the flash
memory and that the new setting has not been reflected.


Figure 17: Screen on which to change and check the IP addresses
When the PCA-XIF board is now accessed from the Web browser and the details of the
network settings are checked, a display similar to the one shown below appears, and it
is clear that the setting in the flash memory has been changed, and the display now
reflects this change.
Figure 18: Screen on which to change and check the IP addresses


Example 2: When changing the IP address to the default “192.168.100.96”
XIF_GUEST>ipadr –default
NOTE
 The power must be turned off and turned back on for the new setting to be
reflected.
 To set the IP address of the PCA-XIF board into the detector, start the AP/LNK
configuration tool of Service Tool, and perform the following steps:
(1) Input the IP address (192.168.100.96 in this case) of the PCA-XIF board which
has been changed to the X-ray interface address on the Configuration tab
screen.
(2) Press: <Save>
(3) Bring the infrared communication area of the Wireless DR Detector close to the
infrared communication unit, and proceed with the LINK operation.
3.3.4.2 Obtaining the PCA-XIF Board Log
The PCA-XIF board is provided with a 3 MB log memory. In situations where trouble
has occurred, for instance, the log of the PCA-XIF board can be obtained by clicking
on the <log download> link on the web browser top screen of the PCA-XIF board.
NOTE :
When the <log download> link is clicked, the Open/Save dialog box is displayed.
If too much time is now taken to input the storage location, only the initial part of the log
details and not enough information may be obtained. The time permitted for the input
operation is about 30 seconds.
If the amount of the log information which has been saved is correct, the file size
indicated on the Open/Save dialog box and the size of the file actually saved will
match. Therefore, when obtaining the log, it must be checked whether these two file
sizes match.
Reference:
When the log memory becomes full, the log information is successively erased starting
with the oldest, and the latest information is written in its place. This means that the log
memory can always be expected to be nearly full (2.8 to 3 MB) with the log of the PCA-
XIF board log which is actually used.


3.3.5 PCA-FE Board Firmware and FPGA Updating and Recovery
The operations for the PCA-FE board firmware and FPGA updating can be performed
using the tool for upgrading firmware and FPGA.
The updating is performed while power is supplied using the battery unit.
Since the pre-updated program will continue to run even after the updating, booting is
initiated using the new program either by removing the battery and re-installing it or by
turning the power off and then back on.
3.3.5.1 PCA-FE Board Firmware and FPGA Recovery
A boot switch is provided near the battery connector of the Wireless DR Detector for
recovery purposes when the data cannot be written correctly for some reason during
the updating of the PCA-FE board firmware or FPGA, resulting in trouble with the board
operation.
Perform the following steps to boot operation in the backup mode:
(1) Remove the battery.

(2) Set the boot switch to the backup mode.
(3) Install a battery which has been charged.
NOTE:
Updating is possible only when the remaining battery charge level is
60 % or more. Updating is recommended using a battery with a full
charge.
(4) Press the power switch of the Wireless DR Detector for at least a second to turn
on the unit’s power.
Operation now starts up using the backup firmware and backup FPGA.
When the power is turned on with the boot switch at the backup mode setting, the
backup code firmware is loaded into the SDRAM, and operations are performed.
With the backup firmware, the FPGA config data for backup is written into the FPGA
config ROM, and operation starts up.


NOTE:
While the backup codes are being copied, the LINK LED (blue-green) blinks while its
light quantity changes gradually.
Since writing is completed when the LED stops blinking, it is necessary to wait at least
90 seconds.
The firmware or FPGA updating can be performed using the service tool while in the
backup mode boot status.
After updating has been completed in the backup mode boot status, follow the steps
below for booting in the normal mode.
(1) Hold down the power switch of the Wireless DR Detector for at least 5 seconds
to turn the unit’s power OFF.
(2) Remove the battery.
(3) Return the boot switch to the normal mode setting.
(4) Connect a battery with a full charge again.
(5) Press the power switch of the detector for at least a second to turn on the
unit’s power.
When the power is turned on with the boot switch at the normal mode setting, the
normal code firmware is loaded into the SDRAM, and operations are performed.
NOTE:
 However, with backup mode booting, the FPGA data is overwritten by the backup
codes, and the normal codes are lost. Therefore, when the backup codes and
normal codes are different, the normal codes of the FPGA must be updated.
 When booting the normal mode after the backup mode booting, check the
versions of the firmware and FPGA from the tool for upgrading firmware and
FPGA and perform update to have the right combination of them.

3.3.6 Additional Steps after Replacement of Parts
When the Wireless DR Detector has been replaced:

(1) Recognize the Wireless DR Detector by infrared communication
(using the service tools).
(2) Delete the registration of the Wireless DR Detector which has just been replaced
if necessary (using the service tools).
(3) Check the firmware and FPGA versions (and update them if necessary).
(4) Check that booting is performed correctly.
(5) Proceed with calibration.
(6) Conduct self-diagnosis.
(7) Carry out the performance test.
(8) Check the image quality.
When the X-ray interface box and PCA-XIF board have been replaced:
(1) Change the IP address (but only when it has been changed from the
default setting).
(2) Check the firmware versions (and update them if necessary).
(3) Check that booting is performed correctly.
(4) Check that the operations for taking and obtaining the images and for transferring
the data can be performed normally.


When the Wireless DR Detector cable has been replaced:

(1) Check that booting is performed correctly with the wired connection.
(2) Check that the operations for taking and obtaining the images and
for transferring the data can be performed normally.
3.4 Wireless DR Detector Return Procedure
This section defines the roles and responsibilities when it comes to necessary
exchanges of the flat panel detector due to failure.
The customer always contacts the local AGFA NSO, when he encounters a problem
with the AGFA DR-System.
AGFA representative will send a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to look at the problem.
For DR detector failure confirmation the Agfa FSE always needs to escalate to
Agfa Level 2 (Tier 1) support (GSC case). AGFA representative will analyze the
problem.
For failure assessment the data listed in section 2.1 are required in the GSC case:
If failure is confirmed then Level 2/Level 3 support will supply the FSE with:
 Canon Medical Equipment Inquiry Form
 Further instructions to order a new detector and to return the defect one
IMPORTANT:
An immediate return of the DR Detector to the AGFA spare parts logistic center is
necessary, to make optimal use of the warranty period.
For fast processing of the DR Detector exchange it is essential to make sure that
all data mentioned above is available at time of escalation.
