Introduction
The 6980 Series Network Manager bridges the transfer of
files and application software between a number of mobile
computers and a host computer. It connects networks using
several different methods and protocols.
The 6980 Series, an embedded network manager device, is
based on Microsoft
R
Windows CE operating system execut-
ing on an AMD
R
Elan SC400 microprocessor based system.
The Network Manager provides:
" Ethernet, PPP, or Asynchronous connectivity to a host
computer
" Connectivity to remote clients using modems -- up to
three (one internal PC card, two external RS-232
ports)
" RS-232 -- two ports available
" RS-485 -- two ports available
" Connectivity to mobile computers on an RS-485 net-
work using Norand Portable Communications Protocol
(NPCP)
" 512K Flash memory
" 16 MB on board RAM
" IrDA debug and configuration
" Up to two Type III PC card slots
SECTION 1General Information
1-2 6980 Series Network Manager User’s Guide
" Compact flash storage
" Remote distribution of client application software
" Through the host software you can do remote broad-
casting of application files; application version control,
and mobile computer Flash version control.
The Network Manager has two power options. Each can
drive the required internal power supplies. The power sup-
ply may be used to supply charge converter power to a mul-
tidocks through the first RS-485 port.
There are 12 indicator LED’s to allow you to quickly know
the status of your Network Manager. There is also a beeper
that sounds when the Network Manager is first powered up
and when a fatal error occurs.

Resetting IR System Configuration
The IrDA port allows you to reset your Network Manager to
the default configuration. This provides a fail safe reset in
case your unit is configured incorrectly and it is unable to
communicate properly.
When a laptop (or other IR device) using a terminal emula-
tion setting attaches to the IR port program, a menu dis-
plays.

R = Reset 698x To Factory Configuration
B = Boot 698x
? = Help
Command Description
R
Selection of this option copies the 6980ini.def file over the
6980ce.ini to restore the 698x to factory default configura-
tion. It removes all files on the Compact Flash in the “UPD-
FILES” folder. The files in this folder are used to override
the files which are resident in the CE kernel image. Remov-
ing these files returns the 698x to the factory image.
B
Performs a reboot of the unit.
?
Redisplays the above menu.

Introduction
The 6980 Series Network Manager LED Error Codes can be
broken down into three major groups:
" System Warning Errors
" System Fatal Errors
" Application Errors
Error Code Categories
The 6980 Series uses the left two LEDs for visually helping
identify the category of error occurring. All errors will blink
the ON (Power) LED. A System Warning Error blinks only
the ON LED. A System Fatal Error lights the NET LED
and causes the Network Manager to “beep.” An Application
Error error shows both the ON and NET LEDs blinking.

SECTION 2Error Codes
2-2 6980 Series Network Manager User’s Guide
The error codes are assigned based on binary numbers. The
Binary System works by doubling the previous value.
Therefore, if you start with the number 1 the next would be
2 followed by 4, then 8, 16, etc. Here is how this works us-
ing the four RS-485, the four RS-232, and the two PC card
slot LEDs on your 6980 Series Network Manager. The
binary number 1 starts with the far right LED and doubles
with each one to its left.

Error Code Ranges
The error codes have been assigned by software groupings.
These ranges are:
" 1--31 are Initial Program Loading (IPL) and CE Load-
er Errors
" 32--127 are System Software Errors
" 128--2047 are Application Errors
IPL and CE Loader Error Codes
When your 6980 Series Network Manager displays Initial
Program Loading (IPL) and CE Error Codes the ON LED
blinks and the NET LED remains on. The four LEDs on the
right (B3--C2) display the error codes for this type of error.

Binary Code 4: Raw ATA Read. This is
the lowest read access to the ATA
Compact Flash. This indicates a
programming problem trying to request
from the ATA device an invalid head,
sector, and cylinder combination
Binary Code 5: File not found. The IPL
code could not find the file
“LOADER.BIN” or “LOADER.BIN” could
not find “NK.BIN” in the directory of the
compact disk.
Binary Code 6: The file system on the
ATA Compact Flash is not a FAT12 or
FAT16 file system format.
Binary Code 7: Not a valid partition boot
section on the Compact Flash. The
Compact Flash must be single
partitioned drive.
Binary Code 8: Not a valid FAT
partition. The IPL code found a partition
boot sector, but it is not a FAT partition.
Binary Code 9: The first boot partition is
not bootable. The Compact Flash must
have only one boot partition.
Binary Code 10: No master boot record
exists on the Compact Flash. This drive
is formatted in an unknown state or is
corrupt.
Binary Code 11: A file named “NK.BIN”
was found but did not contain the valid
CE BIN header ID in the file. The file
must be corrupt or invalid.
