ARPevents

Entry 1 will always be zero.

 

Entry 3 of any ARP exception is a code uniquely identifying the software compo-

 

nent of ARP which reported the exception.

 

Entry 2 identifies the type of error.

2ªLocal request to send was rejected; discarded requestº

Internal error: An attempt by ARP to send an Ethernet frame with EDATreq() failed. PossibleEthernet cable problems. Check that the LAN LED is ON or Blinking.

6ºCan't locate remote node; discarded requestº

This error is reported when ARP is unable to resolve an IP address to a MAC address. Entry 4 is the number of attempts to resolve the IP address. Entries 5 & 6 are the unresolved IP address bytes displayed as two hexadecimal words. For example, 3.0.0.1 would be shown as 0300H 0001H. This error may indicate that the remote host is not operational on the network. Verify that the local and remote nodes are both connected and that both applications are specifyingproperIPaddresses.

7ªBadremoteapplicationrequest,discardedrequestº

Received a response from more than one remote node when resolving an IP address to a MAC address. This means two remote nodes have the same IP address. Reconfigure the remote nodes to use unique IP addresses. Entries5 & 6 are the offending IP address displayed as hexadecimalvalues.

9ªBadremoteapplicationrequest,discardedrequestº

Received an ARP message from a remote node with this local node's IP address. This means there is an IP address conflict. Reconfigure the nodes to use unique IP addresses.
