Hardware Device Check
(receive)
This timeout counter is incremented when there is a 40
to 80 second period during which no link traffic is
received. This condition probably indicates that the link
is down on the far end system. The SABM (Set
Asynchronous Balance Mode) count is probably
increasing also.
Hardware Device Check
(transmit)
This timeout counter is incremented when there is a 40
to 80 second period during which no link traffic is
transmitted. This condition indicates possible PI faults.
The link is down and the SABM count is increasing. If
the link is down at both the near end and the far end,
then this counter will increment along with the Hardware
Device Check (receive) counter.
Far-End MOOS Count The number of times that the switch tries to restart the
link and the Far-End responds with the link status
"manual-out- of-service." This condition only occurs on
ISDN-PRI Nonfacility Associated Signaling (NFAS) with
D-channel backup. When this occurs, contact the
Network and ask them to release the link.
Far-End FRMR This value is informational only and no action is
necessary. It is one of eight counters that tell the history
from the last "clear link" command of why the link went
down. In this case, the link went down because the
switch received an FRMR frame from the Far-End.
Far-End DISC This value is informational only and no action is
necessary. It is one of eight counters that tell the history
from the last "clear link" command of why the link went
down. In this case, the link went down because the
switch received a DISConnect frame from the Far-End.
Timeout This value is informational only and no action is
necessary. It is one of eight counters that tell the history
from the last "clear link" command of why the link went
down. In this case, the link went down because of a
Layer 2 timer expiration on the PI circuit pack.
Software Initiated Link Down This value is informational only and no action is
necessary. It is one of eight counters that tell the history
from the last "clear link" command of why the link went
down. In this case, the switch software restarted the
link. Look at other PI-LINK errors to determine the
cause.
