6.3

TCPINFO

TCPINFO is provided to diagnose BOOTP server problems. If you have a BOOTP

server and cannot access the bridge from it, run TCPINFO in the bridge and try to

access the bridge again. The program is run from the bridge’s command line.

Setup

If a keyboard and monitor are already connected to the bridge, stop the bridge by

pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.

If a keyboard and monitor are not connected, remove power to the bridge and

connect them to the bridge’s connector panel. Restore power to the bridge.

If the bridge displays its CFGUTIL menu, press Escape to close the menu. This

should display the bridge’s C:\ > prompt.

Starting

To start the TCPINFO program, enter: TCPINFO

After a maximum of 30 seconds, TCPINFO should report whether the bridge can

be configured by BOOTP. If it cannot be configured by BOOTP, you will need to

run the CFGUTIL configuration program.

6.4

BDRESET

BDRESET initializes the bridge’s Modbus Plus card, as in power--up of the bridge.

The program is run from the bridge’s command line.

Setup

Setup the bridge with a keyboard and monitor as described for TCPINFO. Note

that removing power to connect the keyboard and monitor will also initialize the

bridge (without the need to run BDRESET). However you might want to have the

keyboard and montior connected to run further diagnostics.

Starting

To start the BDRESET program, enter: BDRESET /s5d

You should see the bridge now attempting to join the Modbus Plus network, as

indicated in its Modbus Plus LEDs. Section 2.7 describes the LED patterns.
