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.

EXAMPLE: 698X IR Support Program v1.01

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.

6980 Series Network Manager User’s Guide 2-3

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 2: Initialization of the ATA

Compact Flash card has failed. Indicates

the Compact Flash is missing or can not

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.
