Hard Errors

The number of times this port has detected an immediately recoverable fatal error. It denotes the number of times this port is either transmitting or receiving beacon MAC frames.

Signal Loss

The number of times this port has detected the loss of signal condition from the ring.

Transmit Beacons

The number of times this port has transmitted a beacon frame.

Recoveries

The number of Claim Token MAC frames received or transmitted after the port has received a Ring Purge MAC frame. This counter signifies the number of times the ring has been purged and is being recovered back into a normal operating state.

Lobe Wires

The number of times the port has detected an open or short circuit in the lobe data path. The adapter will be closed and Ring State will signify this condition.

Removes

The number of times the port has received a Remove Ring Station MAC frame request. When this frame is received the port will enter the closed state.

Singles

The number of times the port has sensed that it is the only station on the ring. This will happen if the port is the first one up on a ring, or if there is a hardware problem.

Frequency Errors

The number of times the port has detected that the frequency of the incoming signal differs from the expected frequency by more than that specified by the IEEE 802.5 standard.
