ECCP Board Diagnostics - The DUALUTIL Utility
WFPEEUI220001C0 B - 17
The parameters window is designed to provide the following
information when a connection is opened to an ECCP board:
• ROM version.
• Encoding enabled status (1 or 0).
• RAM load image version.
• Ethernet address.
• Board type.
Open and Close Menu Items
Open is used to open a connection to the ECCP board. This
must be done before any diagnostics or operations are per-
formed. A connection to the ECCP board must be made in
order for the correct information about the board to be dis-
played in the parameter window.
Close must be used to close the connection to an ECCP board
that has been opened.
Operations Menu
The operations menu provides access to the following opera-
tions which can be performed on the ECCP board:
• Reset the ECCP board.
• Start the ECCP board.
• Enable the redundant encoding algorithm.
• Disable the redundant encoding algorithm.
• Discard the receive list.
• Read event from the ECCP board.
• Read console messages from the ECCP board.
• Read the statuses of all known nodes.
The menu items which provide access to these operations are
discussed in the following subsections.
Reset Board
The reset board operation puts the board in diagnostic mode,
so that the diagnostic tests can be run on it. When the ECCP
board is in diagnostic mode, the Conductor NT console in
which it is installed cannot communicate with other nodes on
the Cnet.
