XEM on debian linux

Hi,

I am having problems getting a XEM controller properly initialized.

I have tried with the tar.gz package and with the debian packages found here:
http://debian.technologeek.org/pool/non-free/d/dgap/

With the same results.

dpa message is: “FEP FAIL”

You should contact Digi Technical Support to pursue troubleshooting. There is the possibility that the adapter or module may be failing.

Replacing the controller did it, thanks.
