watch-clock reads a register in the NVRAM/TOD chip and displays the result as
a seconds counter.During normal operation, the seconds counter repeatedly
increments from 0 to 59 until interrupted by pressing any key on the Sun Type-5

interfaces connected to the system. Good packets received by the system are
indicated by a period (.). Errors such as the framing errorand the cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) error are indicated with an X and an associated error description.
CODEEXAMPLE 4-2 identifies the watch-net output message. CODEEXAMPLE 4-3
