Mask providing information about the type or

Failures counter is not zero. This is a

 

cumulative mask.The following are the bits

 

defined in the mask:

If a reason for send failures is heartbeat errors

 

and the access server characteristic

 

HEARTBEAT is enabled for a transceiver that

 

supports heartbeat, you can usually expect up

 

to about 200 such errors daily. This number

 

does not indicate a network problem.

 

If a reason for send failures is heartbeat errors

 

and the transceiver being used does not support

 

heartbeat, check to see whether you have

 

heartbeat enabled. The send failures count will

 

reflect the heartbeat errors generated from the

 

transceiver not responding to checks of its

 

heartbeat circuitry. Disable the access server

 

characteristic HEARTBEAT to eliminate the

 

spurious generation of heartbeat errors.

Receive Failures

Number of packets that were received with an

 

error condition. For more information, refer to

 

the Receive Failure Reasons field. This counter

 

should be 0 or a low value such as 1 or 2 daily.
