IPL Error Detection

While receiving data, IPL performs many checks on the data to ensure that the data is received correctly. If an error
is detected, IPL immediately aborts the download, and reports the error on an error screen.
Error screens may vary depending on the action being performed. A sample error screen may look like the screen
pictured below:

This error message screen displays until you press any key. Once the screen is acknowledged, IPL returns to the

Error
Number
-1 A general error occurred. Retry the download. If the failure persists, it is
most likely due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires
servicing.
-2 The user canceled the download.
-7 An error occurred opening the source device (either radio card or Serial
port). Check source device connectivity and retry.
-8 An error occurred opening the destination device (either flash ROM or
Power Micro). Retry the download. If the failure persists, it is most likely
due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.
-9 The source device (either radio card or Serial port) could not be read
from. Check source device connectivity and retry.
-10 The destination device (either flash ROM or Power Micro) could not be
written to. Retry the download. If the failure persists, it is most likely due
to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.
-11 An error occurred during transmission from the source device (either
radio card or Serial port) and the checksum check failed. Check source
device connectivity and retry.
