Appendix C. Error Messages 
Error Message  Troubleshooting Tip 
Sim4100:#1  <card><point><sub> 
invalid for ack. Read manual. 
The card-point-sub is being used to derive an array 
offset. The calculation requires division by the point 
& the sub and one or both of these values are zero. 
Sim4100:#2 RTS has been asserted for 
too  long.  Extend  timer,  check  cable 
uses RTS/CTS or reconfig 4100 device 
to suppress hardware handshaking 
If  RTS-CTS handshaking  has  been  used  then  this 
message is produced if the driver  finds that the 
RTS has been asserted by the slave device for too 
long. The timeout is hard coded at 2.0s. 
Sim4100:#3  sim4100_chan_init()  Init 
with null chan. 
Requires support from FieldServer Technologies. 
Sim4100:#4  Unknown  sim4100_func  in 
csv <nnn> 
The  driver  has  found  a  value  for  a  sim4100_func 
keyword that it does not recognize. Check the CSV 
file and read Appendix A.2 of this manual for a list 
of legal keywords. 
Sim4100:#5 Use Ackall function. 
The sim4100_func keyword has been assigned the 
value  'ack'  but  a  card-point-sub  has  not  been 
specified.  It  would  be  better  to  use  the  ackall 
function instead. 
Sim4100:#6  ack/ackall/seta/setd  must 
be a write. 
You  cannot  use  the  rdbc  function  with  these 
keywords. Use a wrbc instead. 
Sim4100:#7  disable/restart/list  not 
implemented 
You  cannot  use  these  keywords  at  the  present 
time.  If  you  require  one  of  these  functions 
implemented call FieldServer Technologies. 
Sim4100:#8  Func=Clistall/Clist,  wrbc 
not allowed 
These keywords must be used with a rdbc instead. 
Sim4100:#9  Write  ack  was  not 
expected. 
Please  report  this  error  to  FieldServer 
Technologies. 
Sim4100:#10  Invalid  point  status 
<s><v><a>=(Hex)<%x><%x><%x> 
<%c><%c><%c> 
Please  report  his  message  to  FieldServer 
Technologies noting the values in braces. 
Sim4100:#11.  Error.  Array  too  short. 
rqd=  %d(  max=  %d)  act=  %d. 
MapDesc=  <%s>  Data  Abandoned! 
Subsequent msgs suppressed!

Sim4100:#12 Error.  Incoming data is being abandoned. 
Subsequent message supressed!

Descriptor for a message.

Implemented. 
Please  contact  FieldServer  Technologies  if  you 
would like this feature implemented.
