There are two ways to troubleshoot this ProSoft ProSoft gateway:
 Using the LEDs located on the front of the gateway
 Using the Debug port (E1) that provides a view into the gateway's internal
database
5.1 Known Anomalies
In the unlikely event due to which an IED on the network causes a large number
of reconnects to the PLX8x, the 61850 driver will eventually restart, causing re-
initialization of the communication to all the IEDs on the Network. Until all the
IEDs connected on the network have been reinitiated, the IED data being
transferred to the Modbus TCP/IP is not being updated. To detect this condition,
status bits are available that the user can effectively use in the PLC program for
tracking.
