PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: This error should not occur. If it happens frequently, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
183 ($B7) MESSAGE: Driver bug prevents link training. File CR.
CAUSE: During an attempt to establish the proper stack context within
which to begin 100VG-AnyLAN link training, the driver tried
repeatedly to run without the ISR underneath it, but failed to even
after 4 retries.
ACTION: Shut down the link and restart it. If the same problem still
occurs, see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
188 ($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. 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 ($C2) MESSAGE: Unexpected loss of link signal from hub.
CAUSE: While the link was supposedly connected, an event occurred
causing the link driver to check if the link was connected, and when the
PHY chip on the adapter card was checked, it was found that the link
was not connected. Probably the cable was disconnected from the hub or
card.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. The driver
will attempt to reconnect the link automatically.
198 ($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
