Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

In This Chapter



LED Indicators ....................................................................................... 31



Using Diagnostics in ProSoft Configuration Builder ............................... 33



Gateway Status Data in Upper Memory ................................................ 40

You can troubleshoot the module using several methods:



Monitor the LED indicators on the gateway.



Use the Diagnostics functions in ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB).



Examine the data in the status data area (upper memory) of the gateway

internal memory.

3.1

LED Indicators

The first and quickest is to scan the LEDs on the gateway to determine the
existence and possible cause of a problem. The LEDs provide valuable
information such as:



The state of each port



System configuration errors



Application errors



Fault indications
