1 Verify that the cables are connected properly between your computer and the
gateway.
o
PROFIBUS cable to PROFIBUS port
o
Null modem cable to Config/Debug port
2 On computers with more than one serial port, verify that your communication
program is connected to the same port that is connected to the gateway.
If you are still not able to establish a connection, you can contact ProSoft
Technical Services for assistance.
Navigation
All of the submenus for this gateway contain commands to redisplay the menu or
return to the previous menu. You can always return from a submenu to the next
higher menu by pressing [M]
on your keyboard.
The organization of the menu structure is represented in simplified form in the
following illustration:
The remainder of this section shows the menus available for this gateway, and
briefly discusses the commands available to you.
Keystrokes
The keyboard commands on these menus are usually not case sensitive. You
can enter most commands in lowercase or uppercase letters.
The menus use a few special characters (?,
-, +, @) that must be entered exactly
as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the SHIFT, CTRL, or
ALT keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English keyboards, enter
the ? command as SHIFT and /.
Also, take care to distinguish the different uses for uppercase letter "eye" (I),
lowercase letter "el" ( L ), and the number one (1). Likewise, uppercase letter "oh"
(O) and the number zero (0) are not interchangeable. Although these characters
look alike on the screen, they perform different actions on the gateway and may
not be used interchangeably.
