If your system is running version 6.10 or earlier, you may notice bleeding or fading on the Nameplates. This can typically be improved by allowing the system to remain powered down for an extended period.
🔧 Follow these steps:
- Power down the entire Plixus system.
- Leave the system powered off for approximately two days.
- Power the system back on.
When the system restarts, it will resend the images to the Nameplates, which should noticeably improve the display quality.
💡 Note:
Starting from version 6.11.2, this issue has been addressed. The firmware of the nameplate has been improved with measures to prevent the bleeding or fading behavior without requiring any manual intervention.
To maintain optimal system performance and prevent potential critical errors caused by prolonged continuous operation, it is recommended to perform a complete system power cycle once per month. This recommendation is especially important for large-scale systems.
Please follow the steps below:
- Shut down all equipment: Plixus central unit and conference devices. If the CoCon meeting management software is in use, also shut down the CoCon PC.
- Power on all conference devices first. After 90 seconds, power on the Plixus central unit.
- Once all devices and the central unit have fully completed their boot process, power on the CoCon PC.
💡 For smaller systems, all devices may be powered on simultaneously.
