100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Link connected.
5 ($04) CAUSE: The first upper layer subsystem to bind to the driver triggered
a link connect, which was successful. This event is also logged after the
link or cable has been successfully reconnected after being
disconnected, or on a link reconnect following a hub retrain, severe line
hit, power failure, or other recoverable error.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is needed unless the
message appears frequently while the link is up, indicating possible
cabling problems; make sure cabling is securely connected and properly
routed away from sources of interference, and is of the proper UTP
category or grade for the type of link (CAT-5 for 100Base-T, CAT-3 or -5
for 100VG-AnyLAN).
MESSAGE: Link disconnected.
7 ($07) CAUSE: The last upper layer subsystem has unbound itself from the
driver, triggering a link disconnect This event is also logged if the link
unexpectedly drops due to a cable disconnect, hub retrain request,
powerfail, severe line hit, or other recoverable error.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required if the
network is being shut down. However, if the link was supposed to be up
or the message appears frequently while the link is up, this indicates
possible cabling problems; make sure cabling is securely connected and
properly routed away from sources of interference, and is of the proper
UTP category or grade for the type of link (CAT-5 for 100Base-T, CAT-3
or -5 for 100VG-AnyLAN).
MESSAGE: Driver is shutting down.
8 ($08) CAUSE: The driver is being shut down. The last subsystem that was
using the driver is now closing it.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required.
MESSAGE: Subsystem is binding to link driver.
9 ($09) CAUSE: An upper-layer protocol has successfully bound (rendezvoused)
to the link driver. Being bound means the driver can now route
incoming data frames to this protocol.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. If this is
the first bind, the link driver will now attempt to reconnect the link.
MESSAGE: Subsystem is unbinding from link driver.
10 ($0A) CAUSE: An upper-layer protocol has begun to unbind (separate) from
the link driver. Once unbound, the driver can no longer route incoming
data frames to this protocol.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. If this is
the last bind, the link driver will now attempt to disconnect the link.
