IBM 16/4 Token-Ring Network Card User Manual


 
IBMTRPO-xx-217:
A ring beaconing condition was detected while attempting to insert into the network.
Explanation: The token-ring network is not functioning correctly.
User Action: Contact your local network administrator to determine the status of your network, or try connecting
again at a later time.
IBMTRPO-xx-218:
A duplicate network address was detected while attempting to insert into the network.
Explanation: The address specified for the NetAddress configuration parameter is being used by another adapter
(ring station) on the network.
User Action: Modify the configuration file to change the Node parameter value being used for this adapter, or
remove the Node parameter to allow the universally administered address to be used. Contact your local network
administrator for assistance with choosing a new Node parameter value, or to have the conflicting adapter removed
from the same token-ring network as this adapter.
IBMTRPO-xx-219:
A ring parameter failure occurred while attempting to insert into the network.
Explanation: The token-ring network is not functioning correctly.
User Action: Contact your local network administrator to determine the status of your network, or try connecting
again at a later time.
IBMTRPO-xx-220:
The adapter was forced to remove itself while attempting to insert into the network.
Explanation: The token-ring network rejected the attempt by this adapter to connect to it.
User Action: Contact your local network administrator to determine the status of your network, or try connecting
again at a later time.
IBMTRPO-xx-221:
A hardware failure occurred while attempting to open the adapter.
Explanation: A hardware error was detected when opening the adapter for network operation.
User Action: Run the diagnostics program. See Running adapter diagnosticson page 42.
IBMTRPO-xx-222:
A hardware failure occurred while attempting to open the adapter.
Explanation: A hardware error was detected when opening the adapter for network operation.
User Action: Run the diagnostics program. See Running adapter diagnosticson page 42.
IBMTRPO-xx-223:
The adapter cannot be opened in AutoSense mode if it is the only active station on the network.
Explanation: The DataRate configuration parameter is set to AUTO (which is also the default value if the parameter
is not specified), but the adapter is the first station to open on the token-ring network.
User Action: This adapter is designed to not open onto the attached token-ring network if it is configured to use
AutoSense detection and if it would have been the first active ring station.
The possible remedies are to try connecting again at a later time when at least one other ring station is active on the
network (such as a network server), or to change the configuration value so that the DATARATE parameter is set to a
specific ring-speed value of M16 or M4 and unload and load IBMTRPO to activate this configuration change.
Note that setting a specific value of M16 or M4 for the DataRate parameter will cause this adapter to establish the
operational speed of the token-ring network if it is still the first active ring station, so consult with your local network
administrator if necessary.
