100VG-AnyLAN and HP-PB 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
184 ($B8) MESSAGE: Hub reports access is disallowed for this link.
CAUSE: The driver received a training frame from the hub with the “no
access” bit set in the frame. The hub is disallowing access to this link.
ACTION: The driver discarded this frame and sent another. However, it
is likely the hub will report this in every frame. If this error is seen,
check the hub port configuration to make sure it is enabled and is not
set to an incompatible mode and/or frame format.
185 ($B9) MESSAGE: Hub returned wrong station address in training frame.
CAUSE: The link driver received a training frame from the
100VG-AnyLAN hub having nonzero data in the destination address
field. This hub is not compatible with your link driver.
ACTION: The driver discarded this frame and sent another. However, it
is likely the hub will report this in every frame. Check if the hub has
configuration settings or switches. Some hubs have a feature which
switches the hub to a mode where this problem does not occur.
Otherwise, contact your Hewlett-Packard Representative to see if
software patches are available to correct this problem.
186 ($BA) MESSAGE: Hub reports link station address is already in use.
CAUSE: The driver received a training frame from the hub with the
“duplicate address” bit set in the frame. The hub is reporting that
another adapter is already using the same MAC address as the link
now trying to connect. Every card on a LAN network must have a
unique MAC address.
ACTION: The driver discarded this frame and sent another. However, it
is likely the hub will report this in every frame. Using NMMGR, check
the link configuration in NMCONFIG to see if a specific MAC address is
being forced. If not, run VGPBA diagnostics to determine the MAC
address assigned to this adapter card, then try to locate the other card
on the network using that same address. Change the configuration of
one of the cards, or use a different adapter card at one end.
187 ($BB) MESSAGE: Hub reports your link configuration is incompatible or not
allowed.
CAUSE: The driver received a training frame from the hub with the
“configuration incompatible” bit set in the frame. The hub port is not
configured in a way compatible with this link. For instance, the port
may be set to allow only 802.5 framing.
ACTION: The driver discarded this frame and sent another. However, it
is likely the hub will report this in every frame. If this error is seen,
check the hub port configuration to make sure it is enabled and is not
set to an incompatible mode and/or frame format.
