Using HDLC.FRAME Protocol

Status and Error Messages

Unsolicited Status Messages

The unsolicited status messages (mrq.mrqcode = =

ZCOM_MRQCODE_STATUS) are used to inform the application program of events which occur affecting communications with the remote station. The status code “No error detected” is used to inform the application that the remote station is communicating normally. This could occur when an terminal has been enabled, or after an error condition has been cleared.

For status codes within request code 5 (unsolicited status report) bit 7 will be set to indicate the UP/DOWN state of the terminal after the event which caused the status report. Bit 7 will be set if the terminal state was DOWN, and it will be clear if the terminal state was UP. An unsolicited status report of zero (UP, no error detected) is used to indicate the terminal has just come UP after being DOWN.
