Cause and/or Suggested Remedy:
This means that the NETTOP files cannot be
found. Check to see that the files NETFILE.DAT,
RTUXREF.DAT, and GLADXREF.DAT exist, and
are in the "NETTOP Path" specified in the
System Startup dialog box of Open BSI.
This message, and similar messages such as
'Could not initialize communications' or a message
that says 'Exiting with status -115' are all
indications that you have NOT started Open BSI
communications. Open BSI communications are
activated by starting the Open BSI Setup Tool
(Open BSI Version 2.3 or earlier), NetView (Open
Version 3.0 or newer), or LocalView (Open BSI
Version 3.0 or newer). Without one of these three
utilities running, no other Open BSI utility will
function.
This occurs when DataView cannot find an (.ACO)
file which matches the node load file specified for
this node in the currently released network
(NETTOP or NETDEF) file.
For Protected Mode RTUs with PES03/PEX03,
PLS03/PLX03 or newer firmware, ONLY, you can
set the Default Switch (SW1-3) to its OFF
