10.4 PND Diagnostics
10.4.1 PND PCB Diagnostics
The best way to troubleshoot the SIE client driver is to use ProSoft Configuration
Builder to access the diagnostic capabilities of the gateway through the Ethernet
debug port. For instructions on how to access the diagnostics, see Diagnostics
and Troubleshooting (page 31).
The following table summarizes the status information available in PCB for the
PND driver:

10.4.2 PND Status Data in Upper Memory
The PND driver has an assoc
iated status data area located in the gateway’s
upper memory. You can use data mapping in the gateway to map this data into
the normal user data range of the gateway's database. See Mapping Data in
Module Memory (page 24).
The following table lists the locations in the gateway's upper memory area for the
general status and error data:
PLX31-PND-MBS
PLX31-PND-MBS4
The gateway stores status data in the upper memory area starting at
address 6000
PLX31-EIP-PND
PLX32-EIP-PND
PLX31-MBTCP-PND
PLX32-MBTCP-PND
The gateway stores status data in the upper memory area starting at
address 13000.
The following table lists the specific status data:
