Initializing Setup Data

Post by znt420 »

Well!
I had my traveler to work fine till today when I turned it in(actually tried) and it didn't work through the firewire power option.

Then I thought I would have to reset everything, so I did it.
Reset the software and driver installation, but it seemed not to work...

Out of nowhere, again, It started out of the Bus Firewire power, but it would get stuck in a v1.07 screen, which I believe is the screen of the newest driver.

But when I put on the Ac Power, it goes to this screen: Initializing Setup Data, and stays there forever.

Any of you guys have had this problem before and know how to solve it?

Hi

Try first to reset your Traveler to Factory Default Settings.
Here is some Traveler reset info:

If the interface freezes while it's booting up, then it can't be reset to factory defaults.

Connect the Traveler to its DC power supply, and make sure that the Firewire Bus Power Enable switch on the right side panel is set to off. Disconnect the firewire cable from the back panel, and power on the interface. If it still freezes before it can boot up (while the firewire cable is disconnected), then it will probably need to be serviced.

Thank you guys!

Well, following these last steps the interface is not freezing. It boots up, shows the v1.07 firmware version and starts normally.

After the resetting steps it still shows the v1.07 firmware but initiates normally, but if after initiated I plug in the firewire cable, it freezes.

Did I actually reset that or I missed any of the steps?

When I power if off of the AC power it goes

Initializing Setup Data
Initializing .... Mix
v1.07

and then it starts normally.


If i connect the firewire cable, though, it freezes or just doesn't work.
And how do I know I have reseted it to factory settings?

Thank you guys
