Protecting Electronic Components

As Intermec moves to surface mount technology and smaller components, our products become more vulnerable to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Recently Intermec experienced spare board assembly failures in the field that were traced to improper ESD protection while handling or installing the boards. This is costly and can be easily avoided.

Intermec's Service department recommends that all field personnel follow three guidelines to prevent ESD damage:

•	Use an ESD mat and wrist strap when repairing and replacing printed circuit boards.

•	Before you open any Intermec product, place that product on an ESD mat and ground the product.

•	Follow all standard ESD procedures for your workplace.

	Follow ESD Procedures This icon appears at the beginning of any procedure in this manual that could cause you to touch components (such as printed circuit boards) that are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you see this icon, you must follow standard ESD guidelines to avoid damaging the equipment you are servicing.
The Everett facility uses several vendors for ESD products. One USA vendor is DESCO Industries, Inc., which you can reach either on the World Wide Web at http://www.desco.com/ or by telephone at 1.909.598.2753.

Determining the Configuration Tag

The configuration tag is a 13-digit string that describes the configuration of the DCS 300. The first 5 digits identify the server model (0300A) and the last 8 digits indicate which options are installed in the server. You can determine the configuration tag in any of these ways:

Checking the label

Viewing the log file

Using the worksheet


Checking the Label

You can check the label on the rear panel of the DCS 300. If the server is upgraded, the person performing the upgrade should mark the label to indicate the new version letter and any changes made to the configuration.

If the label was not changed when the server was upgraded, the configuration tag on the label may not be correct. If you are not sure that the label is correct, use another method to verify the configuration tag.


Viewing the Log File

You can view the NG_CONF.LOG file in the NEXTGEN directory on the server. This file contains the configuration tag.


Using the Worksheet

If you know the details of your server's configuration, you can use the DCS 300 Configuration Tag Worksheet to figure out the configuration tag. The boxes at the top of the table represent the 13 numbers and letters of your server configuration tag.

Configuring RF Cards

Before you can use the RF card, you need to run the Setcard Utility to configure it.

To configure the RF card

1.	Run the Setcard Utility to configure the RF card.

2.	Make sure that you have removed the disk from the floppy disk drive.

3.	Shut down the DCS 300.

4.	Turn off the server.

5.	Turn on the server.

6.	Configure the RF card for your data collection network. For help, see the DCS 300 System Manual.


Part needed to configure RF cards

•	Setcard RF Cntr Utility disk, v1.1 (Intermec Part No. 063896-001)


About the Setcard Utility

The Setcard Utility is a DOS application that initiates host commands to its counterpart, the boot ROM firmware. You can use this utility to

•	configure the RF card I/O address, interrupt number, and dual port address during initial installation.

•	download new firmware to the RF card.

•	perform RF card system diagnostics.

The utility interface is divided into four parts: user interface, Setcard utility, dual port, and boot ROM.

The utility is loaded by a DOS executive command call (*.EXE) from COMMAND.COM. The DOS configuration dialog provides DOS interface for accessing files and querying file status for downloading new firmware (a standard Intel hex file) to the RF card flash memory.

The boot ROM firmware located on the RF card is the companion module to the Setcard utility and it performs the actual configuration tasks and diagnostics and then downloads the firmware to flash memory. The configuration command and data are passed from the utility to the boot ROM module through dual port memory and I/O registers.


Setcard Utility

The Setcard utility executable file, SETCARD.EXE, is stored on the Setcard RF Cntr Utility disk (Part No. 063896-001) that ships in your Troubleshooting and Install kit.

You use the Setcard utility in Batch Configuration mode, which lets a trained technician configure an RF card with a single command line. When you enter the command to invoke the utility, it first checks all the command-line parameters for syntax and valid values and then configures the RF card.

Note: In Setcard utility commands, you must type a space between each argument and parameter name.

To run the Setcard Utility

1.	Make sure that you have the correct hardware and software requirements.

2.	Make sure that the RF card is at its default setting.

	Caution When changing an RF card’s settings, you must not have another card in the DCS 300 with the same settings.
3.	From the DOS prompt type:

A:\SETCARD -i newint -p newiobase -m newmemorybase -f file.hex

where:

newint	is the new interrupt number.

newiobase	is the new base I/O address.

newmemorybase	is the new memory address.

file.hex	is the full path name and file name of the new firmware.

If the procedure is successful, the Setcard utility returns a status for the batch file to the monitor. If the procedure is not successful, check the error message.

You can display helpful information by using either of these commands:

•	To display a short description of all the available Setcard utility parameters, type this command and press Enter:

A:\SETCARD

•	To display the current configuration of the RF card, type this command and press Enter:

A:\SETCARD -P iobase

where iobase is the current base I/O address of the RF card.


Setcard Utility Requirements

The Setcard utility requires this hardware and software configuration:

•	IBM PC/AT or compatible computer

•	One high-density 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for installation and backups

•	MS-DOS V3.3 or later and a Microsoft-compatible mouse driver (The mouse is optional.)

•	Ability to run in DOS Real mode environment, which requires you to have a DOS boot disk


Restoring the RF Card Default Configuration

When the card is in the default configuration, the LEDs on the back of the card blink in a consistent pattern.

To restore the default configuration if you know current base I/O addresss

1.	Turn off the DCS 300.

2.	Insert your DOS boot disk into the server. Power on the server.

3.	Insert the Setcard RF Cntr Utility disk in the floppy disk drive.

4.	From the DOS prompt, type:

A:\SETCARD -R -P iobase

where iobase is the current base I/O address.

To restore the default configuration if you don’t know the current base I/O address

1.	Turn off the DCS 300.

2.	On the RF card, move the configuration jumper to the default position. Connect pins 1 and 2.

3.	Insert your DOS boot disk into the server. Turn on the server.

4.	Turn off the server.

5.	Move the configuration jumper back to the original position. Connect pins 2 and 3.

6.	Turn on the server. The RF card is reset.


Successful Status Example

SETCARD PASSED:  IRQ = 11  port=250H  mem=C0000H
FILE DOWN LOADED:  SUCCESSFUL


Setcard Utility Error Messages

If the installation is not successful, check the error message by typing:

SETCARD ?

Or,

SETCARD help

The Setcard utility displays a help screen, and an error message may appear on the monitor. The error message may be one of these messages, where %s is a specific parameter:

ERROR: Invalid interrupt = %s

ERROR: Invalid i/o base address = %s

ERROR: Invalid memory base address = %s

ERROR: Could not locate card or card is not responding. Hardware reset required.

Understanding the Tag

Configuration Number    This number provides a way to identify the combination of cards in the server.

Slot    This column lists the potential location of cards in the server. The combination of cards is unique for each configuration number. Slot A is the rightmost ISA card slot if you are facing the front panel of the server; slot B is the next ISA card slot to the left. PCI 1 is the rightmost PCI card slot, if you are facing the front panel.

Interrupt, DMA, base I/O address, memory address    These parameters provide you with configuration information that you may need while adding or replacing a card.

Adding New Cards

Before you add a new card to the server, make sure that you back up your system files and your user files.

CREAT_NG is a field hardware upgrade tool that enables you to change the cards in the server to any valid configuration, making it easy to demonstrate the server’s different configurations . Unless the “save configuration” option is selected, all server settings will be reset to factory defaults. You can add these cards to the server:

10 Mbps Ethernet card

Token ring card

Twinaxial card

Coaxial card

SDLC card

100 Mbps Ethernet card

RF card

Serial I/O card

Note: The instructions refer to an Upline Host Card, Downline Card 1, and Downline Card 2. These cards correspond to Slots A, B, and C, respectively, in the Configuration Matrix.

Before you can complete the installation of an upline host card, obtain this information from the network administrator:

•	Local IP address

•	Route destination IP address

•	Router IP address

•	Metric count (1 to 16)

•	TCP/IP or IEEE 802.2 card

•	Subnet mask

•	Ethernet driver support

•	Maximum link stations


Adding a New Network Adapter Card

Theory of Operation - RF Card

The RF card is an ISA-type card that is installed in a PC AT bus. The card is designed to be a network controller for Intermec 900 MHz Base Radio Units (BRUs). The heart of the card is the 80C186EC microcontroller.

Block Diagram


80C186EC Microcontroller

The 80C186EC microcontroller is a 186 CPU core with peripheral devices incorporated into one package. The peripheral devices consist of three timer/counters, a watchdog timer, four DMA channels, two 8259 interrupt controllers, and two serial ports. This microcontroller has a 16-bit data bus and can address up to 1 MB of memory and 64K I/O port addresses. The microcontroller operates with a 40 MHz input to generate a 20 MHz CPU system clock. The CPU can fetch instructions in 200 ns, which is four clock cycles. Instructions can vary in length from 1 to 4 bytes and can take anywhere from 3 to 47 CPU clock cycles.


Serial EEPROM

The serial EEPROM stores the card configuration information and any other parameters for the card or applications. This device shares signal lines with the RS-232 debug port. When the serial EEPROM is accessed, the RS-232 drivers/receivers are disabled.


RS-232 Debug Port

The RS-232 debug port is intended for engineering debugging purposes and does not support applications. The RS-232 drivers/receivers are removed from production boards.


128K Boot PROM

This device is 64K words of 16 bits and contains the startup code for the RF card. The startup code configures peripheral devices and memory. It also tests the memory before executing any applications. If the RECONFIG input jumper (J5) is detected or the checksum in the serial EEPROM is incorrect, the boot PROM sets the card in Configuration mode. The controller remains in Configuration mode until it is programmed by the Setcard utility (SETCARD.EXE). Once configured, you can use the boot PROM, and the Setcard utility to load applications into the flash memory.


256K SRAM

The SRAM is composed of two devices that are each 128K by 8 bits. This allows byte or word access to the SRAM. The SRAM is used for the vector tables, application program variables, and system stack. Although you can also use the SRAM to run programs, it is not supported by the boot PROM.


Dual Port RAM

The dual port RAM has two autonomous addresses and data buses to interface to both the microcontroller and the ISA bus. The size of the dual port RAM is 4K words by 16 bits; the memory can be byte or word accessed. The dual port RAM exchanges data back and forth to the ISA system at very high speed. The arbitration of memory access is controlled through software by using the semaphore registers built into the dual port RAM. The eight semaphore registers are mapped at the dual port RAM on the ISA side. On the 186 side, the semaphore registers are mapped to a separate memory location. The semaphores logic circuit can be set by both sides, but only one side can get the request granted. At the top of the dual port memory address are two memory locations that can generate an interrupt to the opposing side. These locations are referred to as command ports. A memory write by one side will set the interrupt, and a read from the other side will clear the interrupt. The contents of the memory can be used to determine the type of interrupt command request (see diagram below). The interrupt line to the 186 microcontroller is inverted and the interrupt line to the ISA side generates a negative pulse. The ISA interrupt request line from the RF card is an open drain with a pull-up resister; this makes it possible for multiple cards to share the same interrupt request line. The current software drives do not support the shared interrupt feature.

This device contains the I/O registers that are the Card Control Registers (CCR). Four CCRs are accessed by the ISA side and eight are accessed by the 186. The CCRs will map the card’s I/O base address, interrupt level, and the dual port RAM base address along with the semaphore registers. When the card has no configuration information, the 186 sets a KeyEnable bit in the CCR3 register. Once the KeyEnable bit is set, the ISA side can program the I/O base address by accessing the KeyEnable state machine. The KeyEnable state machine is accessed by writing to a shadow port address of the COM3 scratch pad register (0x3EF). This requires four writes to the I/O address 0x3EF, the first two bytes are the unlocking codes 0xAA and 0xCC, and the last two bytes determine the I/O base address of the CCRs. Once the CCRs are programmed to an I/O address, the remainder of the registers can be accessed for setup. After all CCRs are programmed, the control of the CCRs is returned to the 186 controller. The 186 controller can then read the configuration of the CCRs and store it in the serial EEPROM. When the RF card is powered up or reset, the CCRs will be set by the 186 controller from the stored contents of the serial EEPROM.

CCR	Access	Function
CCR0	ISA/186	NMI, Interrupt Select & Enable, 2 flags, Reset
CCR1	ISA/186	Dual Port RAM base
CCR2	ISA/186	Card Ready, Card ID
CCR3	ISA/186	Key Enable, Int Status
CCR4	186	I/O mapping (lower byte)
CCR5	186	I/O mapping (upper byte)
CCR6	186	Hardware Rev ID
CCR7	186	Transceivers control lines


Am80C35 SCC

The Am80C35 SCC devices are the serial communication controllers with two channels each. These devices can perform the SDLC and/or asynchronous communications that are required to communicate with the BRUs and CrossBar devices. The SCCs are connected to either RS-232 or RS-485 line drivers and receivers that are under software control, via CCR7.

The RF card is available as either a 2-port card or a 4-port card:

•	The 2-port card has one SCC and provides two DB9 connectors on the back mounting bracket. The 2-port card offers a low cost option with most of the RF card features.

•	The 4-port card has two SCCs, provides a small 36-pin Champ connector, and requires a cable to expand to four DB9 connectors. The four ports let you use four BRUs, which facilitates larger roaming of RF network devices.

The SCCs are interfaced to the 186 via an EPLD (erasable programmable logic device). The EPLD will invert the DMA request signals and also provides the logic to allow the SCCs to source interrupt vectors to the 186. The SCC devices can generate different vectors that are specific to the interrupt request. This allows the programmer to create interrupt routines for the different operations of the SCC. Each of the channels of the SCC has one DMA control channel. The DMA is used for both transmit and receive; therefore, the operation of transmit and receive using DMA for each channel cannot occur at the same time.


LED Indicators

The LED indicators are located on the backplane bracket above the connectors. There are four LEDs on both the 2-port and 4-port cards. The LEDs are used in several ways:

LED Activity	Description
Two top LEDs are on.	The controller is being reset, the CPU is not yet running, and the CPU has not yet configured the port pins.
LEDs blink in a pattern.	The controller is booting, and the power up test is not complete.
LEDs blink rapidly.	The power up test is complete with no errors and there is no valid configuration in the serial EEPROM yet.
LEDs are off.	The power up test is complete and the RF card has valid configuration.
LEDs are controlled by an application.	When the RF card starts an application, the LEDs are under the control of the application.


2-Port Cables

	Pin Numbers	Signal Names
	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9	Shield Rx RS232 Tx RS232 +Tx RS485 CTS RS232 -Tx RS 485 Ground +Rx RS485 -Tx RS485
The 2-port RF card has two DB9 connectors on the backplane bracket that are compatible with the current cables supporting BRUs, CrossBar devices, and Point-to-Point RS-232 devices. Cables need to be plugged into the back of the PC AT unit where the RF card is installed.


4-Port Cables

The 4-port RF card has one mini 36-pin Champ connector on the backplane bracket. This requires a new cable to extend the connector to an expansion box with four of the DB9s that are compatible with current cables.

	SW1 Position	DNLN Channel	Data Lines Affected
	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4	TX RX TX RX RX TX RX TX


DIP Switch/RF Card

The RF card has a DIP switch that can be accessed only when the card is removed from the ISA system. This DIP switch connects a 120 ohm load resistor to the RS-485 transmit and receive lines. Normally this switch should remain closed, but to provide compatibility with older network systems this switch has been included in the card design.


I/O Mapping

The RF card has four 8-bit registers that can be mapped to any four I/O byte block on four-byte boundary in the ISA system. The RF card will fully decode all 16 address lines during I/O operations. Therefore, multiple cards can share the same lower 1K I/O address that most other I/O cards will decode. For example:

I/O Address (Binary) A15                              A0	Address (Hex)	Device
xxxx-xx11-1111-1xxx	0x3F8	COM1
xxxx-xx10-1111-1xxx	0x2F8	COM2
xxxx-xx11-0111-10xx	0x378	LPT1
0000-0011-0010-00xx	0x320	RF card 1
0001-0011-0010-00xx	0x1320	RF card 2
Mapping of an RF card to 0x13F8 will conflict with the COM1 port mapped at 0x3F8, because the COM port only decodes the lower 10 address lines. The I/O address of 0x0000 is a reset state of the RF card, and it causes the card to be disabled on the ISA bus. Only a hardware reset of the PC will clear all of the internal registers on the RF card interface. A software reset of the RF card, done by accessing CCR0, will only perform a reset to the 186 and SCC devices. It will also clear the Card Ready bit in the CCR2 register. The Card Ready bit will disable the card from sourcing onto the ISA bus, but the PC can still write to the CCRs.


Interrupt Mapping

The selection of the interrupt for the card is done by programming three bits in CCR0. These three bits will select one of eight interrupts:

CCR0 D<6..4>	Interrupt Assignment
0	IRQ3
1	IRQ5
2	IRQ7
3	IRQ9
4	IRQ10
5	IRQ11
6	IRQ12
7	IRQ15
The setting of the interrupt level is done during the card configuration and is programmed by the 186 when the card is powered up or reset. The interrupts are enabled when the D3 bit in CCR0 is set by the PC ISA side. The interrupt output is an open collector type output with a 4.7 Kohm pull-up resistor. When an interrupt is requested, the card generates a short negative pulse for 150 ns. The status of the interrupt is available in CCR3. After the interrupt is serviced, the card will be able to invoke a new interrupt.


Memory Mapping

The mapping of the dual port RAM is done by programming CCR1. The address range of dual port RAM is limited to C0000 to FFFFF. This address range is called the High Memory Area (HMA) and is used by the network’s card, BIOS ROMs, and many other things. In some systems the RAM will shadow for BIOS ROMs, or the EMM386 memory manager will map virtual memory in this area. Make sure that no memory conflict exists in the system. The size of the memory is 8K bytes and must be mapped on 8K page boundaries. The dual port RAM is 16 bits wide and can be accessed in word or byte mode. When the dual port RAM is addressed, the RF card will activate the MEM16CS signal, which causes the ISA interface to  perform 16 bit operations. The address decoding is done to allow the dual port RAM to be enabled only in the lower 1MB of the system.
