Howto setup GC100 in Plutohome
IN PROGRESS …
The procedure to add gc100 is folowing:
1. Reset gc100 to factory defaults by power&lan off, short pins 2 and 7, while pins are shortened, plug the power, leds should blink, add network.
2. From orbiter or pluto-admin add gc100. On orbiter it should show that “software was installed” and “press quickreload to start using new device” (i’m not quite sure about messages, but this is the idea)
3. You should see gc100 under the CORE in pluto-admin.
Trouble shooting:
1. See if package pluto-gc100 was installed (dpkg -l ‘pluto-gc100′), and it must match the version of DCERouter.
2. See if the device is running (ps auxww | grep gc100)
3. See anything suspicios in log (tail -f /var/log/pluto/XXX_gc100.newlog)
Note about the gc100: The Global Cache gc100 is the most popular interface module that is used to control a/v equipment (TV’s/stereo’s) using infrared, and also a variety of devices using rs232. The gc100 plugs in directly to the ethernet. However, it is not completely plug-and-play. You must plug in a gc100, then on any Orbiter, click the ‘Advanced’ button (the Pluto logo in the lower left corner of the screen), and choose the ‘add gc100 device’ button. This will add the gc100 that you just plugged in. After the Orbiter tells you it has finished, then you can plug another gc100 into the network and repeat the process for however many gc100′s you have.
