Messages Logged on a Cable Disconnect/Re-connect
(PCI Token Ring)
The NetTL message logged for cable disconnect is different for 16/4 Mb/s
and 100 Mb/s operation:
In 4/16 Mb/s, the message logged is:
“Cable disconnected/faulty”
class ERROR #2009
In 100 Mb/s, the message logged is:
“Internal error after beacon auto removal process”
class ERROR #2010
In either case, when the cable is re-connected, the following message will
be seen:
“Link back online”
class INFO #4001
Starting with B.11.00.06, the above messages have changed. The cable
disconnect message will be logged as an ERROR message to the nettl
subsystem, as follows:
The PCI Token Ring adapter driver detected a possibly faulty/d
isconnected cable at <hardware path>.
On a cable re-connect, an INFORMATIVE message will be logged to the
nettl subsystem, as follows:
The PCI Token Ring adapter driver detected that the link has b
een re-established at <hardware path>.
