4 DIAGNOSTICS

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dc

 

INIT_WAIT_DC_O

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive initialization state and

 

 

 

R_C

 

waiting for the default configuration or the contention

 

 

 

 

 

channel list messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I L

 

WAIT_LM_ACK

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive initialization state and

 

 

 

 

 

waiting for Link Management Response ACK for Local

 

 

 

 

 

Address Message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I SO

 

WAIT_SO_ACK

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive initialization state and

 

 

 

 

 

waiting for a Sign On acknowledgement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LA

 

WAIT_LA_OR_SO

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive initialization state and

 

 

 

 

 

waiting for Logical Address or Sign On with verification

 

 

 

 

 

Frequency message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

S I

 

INIT_STOPPED

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive initialization state and the

 

 

 

 

 

TransMode has stopped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

r dc

 

RUN_WAIT_DC_O

 

The DCH3200 is in the interactive state and waiting for the

 

 

 

R_C

 

default configuration or the contention channel list

 

 

 

 

 

messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

r

 

RUNNING

 

Interactive state is running, sending idle messages, and

 

 

 

 

 

waiting for any prepare for poll or MAC messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

S

 

RUN_STOPPED

 

The interactive run state has stopped and DCH3200 is

 

 

 

 

 

waiting for status or a transmission control message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

00

 

INVALID

 

The interactive state is unknown or invalid.

 

 

 

 

MAC Abort

This counter increments every time the MAC layer reaches the cell abort count limit. It is

Cntr

reset by the successful upstream transmission of a cell: for example, when the DCH3200

 

receives an ACK. If the counter reaches the MAC abort count limit, the DCH3200 assumes

 

the MAC layer is unavailable due to noise, congestion, or some other problem. The

 

DCH3200 stops transmitting data upstream, reports an error to the calling function, and

 

attempts to re-enter the network using the initialization process. 0000 is displayed as the

 

default or if the MAC Abort CNTR is not configured or unknown.

 

 

 

Socket Port

The socket mode and activity:

 

State

 

• UNUSED — The socket is not being used.

 

 

 

 

• OPENED — The socket is open.

 

 

• READY — The socket is ready to send or receive.

 

 

• RECEIVING — The socket is receiving data from the application server.

 

 

• SENDING — The socket is sending data to the application server.

 

 

• UNKNOWN — The socket state is invalid or unknown.
