Diagnostic Field Codes
. .  .  . .  . .  .
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 255
NOTE 1:  A given diagnostic need not apply to all packet types. The packet type(s) 
to which each diagnostic may apply is shown:
D = DIAGNOSTIC
Rr = RESTART REQUEST and INDICATION
C = CLEAR REQUEST and INDICATION
Re = RESET REQUEST and INDICATION
Rg = REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION
NOTE 2:  Not all diagnostics need be implemented but those used are as coded in 
the table. The first diagnostic in each grouping is a generic diagnostic and 
can be used in place of the more specific diagnostics within the grouping. 
The decimal 0 diagnostic code can be used in situations where no additional 
information is available (e.g., where the more specific diagnostics are not 
implemented).
NOTE 3:  Diagnostics 224 through 255 support the OSI Network Service Definition.
NOTE 4: In certain situations, multiple diagnostic codes may apply. For example, if 
a timer has expired and a (RESTART, CLEAR, OR RESET) REQUEST 
packet is to be retransmitted, then the DTE may use the diagnostic code 
associated with the original error or the corresponding “timer expired” 
diagnostic code.
NOTE 5:  This diagnostic may also apply to a maintenance action within a national 
network.
