100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7550 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, when a timeout occurred instead of an interrupt, the
driver noticed a remote fault condition, but encountered an error while
trying to stop and release a timer (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call
to vg_stop_timer). This timer was used to wait for any interrupt to
arrive. If this error is reported, it is because the driver has already
encountered some other error.
ACTION: The driver should not be stopping a timer here; please see
Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
The other problem is a remote fault is being detected; check cabling and
configuration settings.
MESSAGE 1: Hub did not report link up within time allowed.
7580 CLAS0001 CAUSE: If this error occurs, it is because the link did not connect within
25 to 30 seconds after it was instructed to do so.
ACTION: Verify that the cable is securely connected to the adapter card
at one end, and to a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T hub at the other.
Verify the cable is a correctly wired, Category-5 UTP cable. Category 3
or 4 cables are not acceptable.
If a crossover cable is being used, make sure it is correctly wired, and
that you have software version A00550B0 or later.
Check the configuration of the hub or switch port to which the adapter
card is connected. Adjust that configuration and, if necessary, use
NMMGR to adjust the configuration of the link, so that something will
match. If necessary, specify a forced speed and duplex setting, and
disable autonegotiation, at both ends.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
7610 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver attempted to adjust the duplex setting of the
LAN controller chip, but encountered an error trying to read from the
network command register on that chip (“Cause”= 32-bit status from
the call to vg_dio_read8). Most likely a powerfail has occurred.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. But if the same
problem happens every time, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7640 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, after the link failed to connect, the driver started a retry,
but encountered an error while trying to stop and release a timer
