4.3 Client Error/Status Data
The second and most thorough troubleshooting method for debugging the
operation of the DFNT driver (and the module in general) is the powerful Debug
port on the module which provides much more complete access to the internal
operation and status of the module. Accessing the Debug capabilities of the
module is accomplished easily by connecting a PC to the Debug port and loading
a terminal program such as ProSoft Configuration Builder or HyperTerminal.
The Client connection Error and Status Data areas are discussed in this section
The error/status data table is located in virtual address assigned by ProLinx. If
the address is set to -1, the data will not be placed in the database. It will only be
available through the Configuration/Debug Port. If a valid address value is
assigned, the module will update the data area.
The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This
occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a
warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration).
Note: The ProLinx Reference Guide contains detailed information on accessing the contents of the
following registers.
