6)THE MEANING OF TEST RESULTS AND ERROR CODES

Test Result

Error

Remark

 

Code

 

Pass

0x00

No error.

Frame

0x01

XIR, SNRM, RR, and TEST successful. But the Test response(s)

truncated

 

received is (are) truncated. This is allowed according to IrLAP

 

 

Version 1.1, but the propose of sending and receiving TEST

 

 

commands/responses are not accomplished (due to this loophole in

 

 

IrLAP Version 1.1)

XID frame failed

0x99

after repeated 0-slot XID commands, IR3200M did not receive

 

 

correctly formatted XID response.

SNRM frame

0x89

XID successful, SNRM sent, IR3200M did not receive correctly

failed

 

formatted UA response.

RR frame failed

0x79

XID and SNRM successful, IR3200M received UA response

 

 

indication that the intended data rate is supported and set to this

 

 

data rate. But after IR3200M repeated sending RR commands at

 

 

that data rate, IR3200M did not receive correctly formatted

 

 

response.

Rate not

0x81

XID and SNRM successful, IR3200M received UA response

supported

 

indicating that the intended data rate to be tested is not supported.

First test frame

0x09

XIR, SNRM, and RR successful, but IR3200M never received any

failed

 

correctly formatted Test frame response.

Test frame

0x02

IR3200M will disconnect the connection and quit the current test

failed

 

item if it failed to get correct response to anyone of its test frames.

 

 

This error means that XIR, SNRM, RR, and at least one TEST

 

 

successful there after.

Pass = no any bit error happened with this cycle.

Failed = any error happened with this cycle.

Error Rate = failed Cycles / Cycles tested

7) PHYSICAL LAYER TEST

Check the frame encoding/decoding (Byte stuffing of SIR, Bit-stuffing of MIR or 4 PPM encoding/decoding).

Receiver sensitivity test.

To socialite frames from the secondary device for measuring its physical layer parameters, such as transmitter intensity, timing parameters.

8) IRLAP TEST

Check the basic IrLAP layer implement, such as Discovery (XID), Negotiate (SNRM), Data sending / receiving at different speed (FIR/MIR/SIR), FCS (Frame Check Sequence) implements, speed support and changing and etc.
