[etherlab-users] "Invalid mailbox configuration", how to configure?

[Stefan Löfgren]

Hi again...
A bit more information. I found some information about this in the XML-file
written by KEB:

<Sm MinSize="16" MaxSize="50" DefaultSize="20" StartAddress="#x1800"
ControlByte="#x26" Enable="1">MBoxOut</Sm>
<Sm MinSize="16" MaxSize="50" DefaultSize="20" StartAddress="#x1832"
ControlByte="#x22" Enable="1">MBoxIn</Sm>

Shouldn't this information be stored in the Eeprom? And how do I transfer this
information to the slave?

I also found this:
<Eeprom>
<ByteSize>1024</ByteSize>
<ConfigData>0900000410270000000000000000</ConfigData>
</Eeprom>

Does anybody knows the meening of this?

Best regards,
Stefan
