• The isolated state indicates that there is no internal
connection between the MAC (Media Access Control) and
PHY (Physical Layer Protocol) modules. This usually
indicates the card is not cabled to the ring.
NOTE Refer to the CF_State variable ANSI FDDI/SM specifications
description for more detailed information.
— Frame Count: Specifies the total number of frames received
with End Delimiters by the station. This count includes void
frame, token frames, beacon frames, claim frames, SMT frames
and LLC frames.
— Token Count: The number of times a token (both restricted and
non-restricted tokens) has been received. Useful for determining
the network load.
— Receive Count: Specifies the total number of non-MAC frames
(SMT or LLC frames) with an address recognized by the station
and successfully received by the station.
— Transmit Count: Specifies the total number of non-MAC
transmit frames originated by this station.
— Lost Count: Specifies the total number of frames received with
format error detected. When the station detects a frame with a
format error, it strips the rest of the frame from the ring and
replaces it with idle symbols.
— Error Count: Specifies the total number of frames received with
the End Delimiter not set (not "S”).
— RingOp Count: Ring Operational Count. Indicates the number
of times the ring has entered an operational state from a
non-operational state. (This value is not required to be exact and
the actual count may be greater that the number shown.
— LER Estimate A: Link Error Rate Estimate: Specifies the
estimated long term average link error rate for Port A.
— LER Estimate B: Link Error Rate Estimate: Specifies the
estimated long term average link error rate for Port B.
