100VG-AnyLAN and HP-PB 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
188 ($BC) MESSAGE: Autonegotiation reports link settings are incompatible
with hub.
CAUSE: If this error occurs, it is probably because the link has reported
a remote fault. Usually this means the adapter card and the hub or
switch to which it is connected, have failed to agree on a link speed and
duplex setting acceptable to both.
ACTION: Verify that the cable is securely connected to the adapter card
at one end, and to a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T hub at the other. Verify
the cable is a correctly wired, Category-5 UTP cable. Category 3 or 4
cables are not acceptable. If a crossover cable is being used, make sure
it is correctly wired, and that you have software version A00550B0 or
later. Check the configuration of the hub or switch port to which the
adapter card is connected. Adjust that configuration and, if necessary,
use NMMGR to adjust the configuration of the link, so that something
will match. If necessary, specify a forced speed and duplex setting, and
disable autonegotiation, at both ends.
194 ($C2) MESSAGE: Unexpected loss of link signal from hub.
CAUSE: While the link was supposedly connected, an event occurred
causing the link driver to check if the link was connected, and when the
PHY chip on the adapter card was checked, it was found that the link
was not connected. Probably the cable was disconnected from the hub or
card.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. The driver
will attempt to reconnect the link automatically.
195 ($C3) MESSAGE: Hub has requested that the link be retrained.
CAUSE: While a 100VG-AnyLAN link was supposedly connected, an
interrupt occurred, and when the PHY chip on the adapter card was
checked, it was found that the hub was requesting that the link be
re-trained. Probably the hub has detected an excessive error rate on
that hub port.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. The driver
will attempt to re-train the link automatically.
198 ($C6) MESSAGE: Cannot open configuration file.
CAUSE: During a link-open operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module configurator encountered an error while trying to open the
configuration file.
ACTION: Verify an NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file exists. If so, try to verify its
format matches rest of the operating system. If the system was
updated, you may need to run NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS to convert the file to
a newer format. If the system was backdated, you may need to restore
an older copy of NMCONFIG from a backup tape. Perform a :LISTF,3
command and make sure the file is not protected by a lockword, and
that the user starting the link has the necessary access rights to open
