5.3 EIP Diagnostics
5.3.1 PCB Diagnostics Menu
The best way to troubleshoot the EIP driver is to use ProSoft Configuration
Builder to access the diagnostic capabilities of the gateway through the Ethernet
debug port. For instructions on how to access Diagnostics, see
Using
Diagnostics in ProSoft Configuration Builder (page 36).
The following table summarizes the status information available in PCB for the
EIP driver.
Connection Type Submenu Item Description
EIP Class 1 Config Configuration settings for Class 1 Connections.
Status Status of the Class 1 Connections: Displays any
configuration error present, as well as the number of
Class 1 Connections.

Class 3 Client/UClient [x] command list in decimal
number format. A zero means there is currently no error
for the command.
Cmd Errors
(Hex) Displays current error codes for each command on the
Class 3 Client/UClient [x] command list in hexadecimal

5.3.2 EIP Status Data in Upper Memory
The EIP driver has an associated status data area located in the gateway’s upper
memory. The Data Map functionality of the gateway can be used to map this data
into the normal user data range of the gateway
’s database. See Using the
CommonNet Data Map (page 25).
Note that all the status values are initialized to zero (0) at power-up, cold boot
and during warm boot.
