       Note: A total of 81 base address settings are available. The
       switches are a binary representation of the decimal memory
       addresses. SW1/7 is the Most Significant Bit and switch SW1/1 is
       the Least Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal
       values: SW1/7=512, SW1/6=256, SW1/5=128, SW1/4=64, SW1/3=32,
       SW1/2=16, SW1/1=8. Turn off the switches and add the values of the
       switches that are off to obtain the correct memory address.

     LED         Color          Status                Condition

    LED1         Green        Fast blink      Card is performing memory
                                                     diagnostic

    LED1         Yellow       Slow blink      Controller is waiting for
                                                firmware to download

    LED1         Yellow       Fast blink      Controller is downloading
                                                       driver

    LED1         Green        Slow blink     Card is operating properly

    LED1          Red             On             Error code follows

       Note: If the LED blinks red, the blinks that follow indicate an
       error code. Yellow blinks are worth 1, and green blinks are worth
       10. Add the values together to get the correct error code.

                                ERROR CODES

     Code                              Description

      1         Bad FIFO. Full/empty flags cannot track the state of the
                FIFO correctly; internal registers are bad.

      2         Bad DRAM. Expansion modules on-board DRAM failed
                random-pattern test.

      3         Bad Checksum Sensed During Download. FIFO may be
                unreliable or loadware file may be corrupted. Reinstall
                the loadware file & reboot system.

      4         Product ID is invalid.

      5         Dead UART. 1400 UXART is not responding correctly to a
                reset.

      6         Bad Mailbox. FIFO mailbox failed.

      7         Not used.

      8         Not used.

      9         Invalid Interrupt. CPU received an unexpected interrupt
                vector. The cause may be bad DRAM, a software problem, or
                a internal CPU problem.

      10        Bad First Command From Host. (1) The Set Interrupt Level
                command was not the first command received after writing
                the loadware. (2) An invalid interrupt request. This may
                show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the driver or
                loadware.

      11        Zero Count Data Packet. Data packet from host had a zero
                count.

      12        Invalid Command Number From Host. A packet received from
                the host had a command # that is out of range (too big).
                This may show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the
                driver or loadware.

      13        Bad Synchronous Command From Host. A synchronous packet
                received from the host had a command # that is only valid
                in a bypass packet, or an unassigned command was sent.
                This may show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the
                driver or loadware.

                            ERROR CODES (CONT)

     Code                             Description

      14       Internal Software Check. The dss_enable ( ) command was
               called with one or more illegal arguments. This may
               indicate bad DRAM or a problem with loadware.

      15       Empty Data Packet. Line discipline task received a packet
               with no data.

      16       Not used.

      17       Internal Software Check. The list of running tasks may be
               bad. This may indicate bad DRAM or a problem with
               loadware.

      18       Bad Bypass Command From Host. A bypass packet received
               from the host had a command # that is only valid in a
               synchronous packet, or an unassigned command was sent.
               This may show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the
               driver or loadware.

      19       Internal Software Check. Table full; unable to spawn a new
               process. This may indicate bad DRAM or a problem with
               loadware.

      20       Internal Software Check. The process stack has overflowed.
               This may indicate bad DRAM, a problem with loadware, or a
               problem with the interrupt.

      21       Internal Software Check. A transmit interrupt was received
               while processing a send break command. This may indicate a
               bad 1400 UXART or a problem with the loadware.

      22       Incoming Data or Command Overflow. The host has sent to
               much commands or data than the controller has room for, in
               violation of the driver & the loadware. This may show an
               unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the driver or loadware.

      23       Change # Too Large. The host sent a packet to a channel #
               higher than the maximum channel # for the controller. This
               may show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the driver
               or loadware.

      24       Not used.

      25       Unexpected UART Shutdown. The UART transmitter has
               shutdown for an unknown reason.

      26       Not used.

      27       Stuck Mailbox-Interrupt Bit. The controller received a
               (mailbox) interrupt from the host. When servicing the
               interrupt , the mailbox interrupt bit was clear. This may
               show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with the driver or
               loadware.

      28       Dead UART. One of the 1400 UXART is not responding to a
               reset. This may show a bad 1400 UXART or a problem with
               the loadware.

      29       Unsupported Product. (Loadware Ver. 1.0.2 or earlier).
               Loadware was used on an Intelliport II EX, but is used for
               the Intelliport II only.

      29       Internal Software Check. (Loadware Ver. 1.0.3 or earlier).
               LCD process could not be started.

      30       No Expansion Modules Connected. No expansion modules are
               connected to the Intelliport II EX. Shut down the system &
               connect the expansion modules.

      31       Reserved. For development /debugging. If this code
               appears, it may show bad DRAM or software problem.

      32       Invalid Channel #. The host sent a packet that does not
               exist. his may show an unreliable FIFO, or a problem with
               the driver or loadware.

      33       Bad Buffer Pointer. A buffer head pointer is not word
               aligned.

      34       Bad Buffer Pointer. A buffer head pointer is not word
               aligned.
