Bad Rx Chars This field represents the number of times the 8B/10B decode detected an
invalid 10-bit code. FC-PH denotes this value as “Invalid Transmission Word
during frame reception.” This field may be non-zero after initialization. After
initialization, the host should read this value to determine the correct starting
value for this error count.
Loss of Syncs Loss of Sync denotes the number of times the loss of sync is greater than
RT_TOV.
Link Fails This field indicates the number of times the Frame Manager detected a NOS
or other initialization protocol failure that caused a transition to the Link
Failure state.
Received EOFa Received EOFa refers to the number of frames containing an EOFa delimiter
that the TACHYON chip has received.
Generated EOFa This field reveals the number of problem frames that the TACHYON chip has
received that caused the Frame Manager to attach an EOFa delimiter. Frames
that the TACHYON chip discarded due to internal FIFO overflow are not
included in this or any other statistic.
Bad CRCs Bad CRCs denotes the number of bad CRC frames that the TACHYON chip
has received.
Protocol Errors This field indicates the number of protocol errors that the Frame Manager
has detected.
Elastic Errors Elastic errors reveal the timing difference between the receive and transmit
clocks and usually indicate cable pulls.
