Explanation

11

Lobe Media, Function Failure: The testing of the

1, 3, and

 

lobe between the PC Card and the access unit has

5

 

 

been unsuccessful because the lobe has a bit-error

 

 

 

rate that is too high, or the PC Card cannot receive

 

 

 

successfully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

24

Physical Insertion, Frequency Error: The PC Card has

2

 

 

detected that the ring is operating at a speed other

 

 

 

than the speed at which it was inserting.

 

 

 

 

 

26

Physical Insertion, Ring Failure: The PC Card, acting

1 and 2a

 

as an active monitor, was unable to complete the

 

 

 

ring purge function successfully. This indicates that

 

 

 

an error condition has occurred since the successful

 

 

 

completion of monitor contention (claim token),

 

 

 

when this PC Card became the active monitor.

 

 

 

 

 

27

Physical Insertion, Ring Beaconing: The PC Card has

1, 2, and

 

detected one of the following conditions:

2b

 

 

The PC Card tried to insert on a ring that was

 

 

 

 

operating at a different data rate.

 

 

 

A monitor contention (claim token) failure

 

 

 

 

occurred.

 

 

 

The PC Card received a beacon MAC frame from

 

 

 

 

thering.

 

 

 

 

 

2A

Physical Insertion, Remove Received: The PC Card has

2a and 4

 

received a remove ring station MAC frame,

 

 

 

indicating that a network management function has

 

 

 

directed this PC Card to get off the ring.

 

 

 

 

 

2D

Physical Insertion, No Monitor Detected: RPL station

1 and 2a

 

is the first station attempting to insert onto the ring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2E

Physical Insertion, Monitor Contention Failed for

2

 

 

RPL: Physical insertion failure of RPL station.

 

 

 

 

 

32

Address Verification, Signal Loss: The PC Card has

1 and 2a

 

detected a 250-ms signal loss (receiver cannot

 

 

 

recognize signal), indicating that an error condition

 

 

 

has occurred since the PC Card successfully

 

 

 

completed the ring signal recognition phase of the

 

 

 

open operation.

 

 

 

 

 

35

Address Verification, Time Out: The insertion timer

1 and 2a

 

expired before this function was completed,

 

 

indicating that the ring may be congested, experiencing a high bit error rate, or losing an abnormally high number of tokens or frames, thus preventing successful Address Verification MAC frame transmissions.
