10.4 PND Diagnostics
10.4.1 PCB Diagnostics
The best way to troubleshoot the PND 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).
10.4.2 PND Status Data in Upper Memory
The PND 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).
The following table lists the PND driver’s general status and error data that is
located in the gateway’s upper memory.
Note:
The status data starts at upper memory 6000 for the following gateways:
• PLX31-PND-MBS
• PLX31-PND-MBS4
The status data starts at upper memory 13000 for the following gateways:
• PLX31-EIP-PND
• PLX32-EIP-PND
• PLX31-MBTCP-PND
• PLX32-MBTCP-PND
