and displays an error message.

Acknowledge mode

Specify whether the channel is in Normal or Silent mode. By default Acknowledge

mode is Normal. In this mode, the channel both receives and transmits messages

normally and performs other tasks on the network such as acknowledging messages

and creating error frames. To observe all message activity on the network and

perform analysis, without affecting the network state or behavior, select Silent. In

Silent mode, you can only receive messages and not transmit.

Notes

• You cannot specify the mode if you are using NI virtual channels.

• Use Silent mode only if you want to observe and analyze your network

activity.
