Figure 5%1. Deciphering the Packet Error Byte, ERR#
In accordance with the IEEE 802.2 Standard, common CTRL parameter values are shown in Table 5"10 (see Chapter 2 for a review of a packet's Control field).
Table 5%10. IEEE 802.2 Control Field Designations
CTRL Parameter* | Information Field Description |
|
|
03 or 13 hex | Unnumbered Information |
|
|
AF or BF hex | XID Loopback Packet Data |
|
|
E3 or F3 hex | TEST Loopback Packet Data |
|

*Note: Two values, depending on the P/F bit of the control Field (see Chapter 2).
List Facility
The returned information from an RE command may exceed a single terminal screen display. If the event log file is large, it may be viewed using a •list facility" very similar to the standard RTE"A list facility. Pressing any key other than <A> or <RETURN> will display another full screen. Pressing <A> will abort.
