Viewing the Error List

Press [L] to display the last 60 errors for the DNP slave port. Refer to the error
list section of the user manual to interpret each error recorded by the module.

If there are no errors present for the module, the message "NO ERRORS FOR
SYSTEM!" is displayed.

Viewing DNP Set Up & Pointers

Press [P] to display the memory allocation and the database setup parameters.

Viewing Operating Parameters

Press [O] to view the DNP Protocol setup information (Operating Parameters) for
the module.

Warm Booting the Module

Caution:

Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for

advanced debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop
communicating with the processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss
or other failures. Only use these commands if you are specifically directed to do so by
ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff. Some of these command keys are not
listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be careful when pressing keys
so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.

Press [R] from the Main Menu to warm boot (restart) the module. This command
will cause the program to exit and reload, refreshing configuration parameters
that must be set on program initialization. Only use this command if you must
force the module to re-boot.

Viewing Comm Stats

Press [S] to view the communication status for the DNP port.

Clearing the Error List

Press [W] to clear the error list. Use this command after viewing the error list
(page 43) to delete the current list of errors and start a new list.
