4.5.2 Main Menu
When you first connect to the gateway’s Ethernet port from your computer, your
terminal screen will be blank. To activate the main menu, press the [?]
key on
your computer’s keyboard. If the gateway is connected properly, the following
menu will appear.
Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for advanced
debugging and system testing only, and can cause the gateway to stop communicating with the
processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss or other communication failures.
Use these commands only if you fully understand their potential effects, or if you are specifically
directed to do so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support Engineers.
There may be some special command keys that are not listed on the menu but that may activate
additional diagnostic or debugging features. If you need these functions, you will be advised how to
use them by Technical Support. Please be careful when pressing keys so that you do not
accidentally execute an unwanted command.
Redisplaying the Menu
Press [?]

at a screen of data, and want to view the menu choices available to you.
Viewing PROFIBUS Configuration
Press [C] to view the PROFIBUS Configuration screen.
Use this command to display the current configuration and statistics for the
gateway.
Viewing PROFIBUS Data

slave is configured (SLAVE CFG LIST), exchanging data with the Master

You can also check the gateway's operation state, where:
00 = Offline
40 = Stop
