SABM/DISC with wrong link address

198

 

The HDLC frame processor task for the port has received an improperly addressed frame from the subscriber. This situation usually occurs when the port and subscriber devices are both conÞgured as logical DCEs or logical DTEs.

Severity

Informational (Level 4)

 

Action

Modify the Port record so that one end of the connection is a

 

logical DCE and the other is a logical DTE.

 

Illegal TC/Gen Clk Combination

219

The software has determined that a port is set to run at an illegal line speed

(throughput class).

 

Severity

Critical (Level 1)

 

Action

This is probably a conÞguration error. Check the Port record and

 

change the throughput class, if necessary.

 

Excessively noisy line

250

Self-explanatory.

 

Severity

Minor (Level 3)

 

Action

Check the communications line and cables.

 

LP Buf Usage exceeded T: “n” C: “n”

304

The RLP statistic Percentage of Buffers in Use has exceeded the threshold

(T: ÒnÓ) that was set by the user. (C: ÒnÓ is the current value.)

 

Severity

Informational (Level 4)

 

Action

If this happens frequently, you may need to reroute some trafÞc.

LP Msg Queued exceeded T: “n” C: “n”

305

The RLP statistic Number of Queued Messages has exceeded the threshold

(T: ÒnÓ) that was set by the user. (C: ÒnÓ is the current value.)

 

Severity

Informational (Level 4)

 

Action

If this happens frequently, you may need to reroute some trafÞc.

LP Rcv Frm/Sec exceeded T: “n” C: “n”

306

The RLP statistic Received Frames/Sec has exceeded the threshold (T: ÒnÓ) that

was set by the user. (C: ÒnÓ is the current value.)

Severity

Informational (Level 4)

Action

If this happens frequently, you may need to reroute some trafÞc.
