6.3 TCPINFO
TCPINFO is provided to diagnose BOOTP server problems. If you have a BOOTP
server and cannot access the bridge from it, run TCPINFO in the bridge and try to
access the bridge again. The program is run from the bridge’s command line.
Setup
If a keyboard and monitor are already connected to the bridge, stop the bridge by
pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.
If a keyboard and monitor are not connected, remove power to the bridge and
connect them to the bridge’s connector panel. Restore power to the bridge.
If the bridge displays its CFGUTIL menu, press Escape to close the menu. This
should display the bridge’s C:\ > prompt.
Starting
To start the TCPINFO program, enter: TCPINFO
After a maximum of 30 seconds, TCPINFO should report whether the bridge can
be configured by BOOTP. If it cannot be configured by BOOTP, you will need to
run the CFGUTIL configuration program.
6.4 BDRESET
BDRESET initializes the bridge’s Modbus Plus card, as in power--up of the bridge.
The program is run from the bridge’s command line.
Setup
Setup the bridge with a keyboard and monitor as described for TCPINFO. Note
that removing power to connect the keyboard and monitor will also initialize the
bridge (without the need to run BDRESET). However you might want to have the
keyboard and montior connected to run further diagnostics.
Starting
To start the BDRESET program, enter: BDRESET /s5d
You should see the bridge now attempting to join the Modbus Plus network, as
indicated in its Modbus Plus LEDs. Section 2.7 describes the LED patterns.
