C EMU-generated error condition
reports
Error condition report format
When the EMU alphanumeric display is Er, three sub-levels of information provide details about the error
condition: the element or component type, the specific component, and the error code. You can use
this information to determine the probable cause of the problem.
• The first sub-level displays the element type (et), which identifies the type of component affected.
See Table 20 to decipher the element type code.
• The second sub-level displays the element number (en), which identifies the exact component
affected.
• The third sub-level display provides an error code (ec), which defines a specific problem.
NOTE:
The conventions used to differentiate between the bytes of the condition report are:
• Element type—Period after each character (0.1.)
• Element number—Period after the second character (01.)
• Error code—No periods (01)
Table 20 lists the element type codes assigned to the DS2500 components.

Does not generate a condition report. However, for any error, you should record the error code. Then, implement
the recommended corrective action.
