CID_NAV_ERROR
The CID_NAV_ERROR status message is generated when an NAV operation is not successful,
usually because a response is not received from the remote interrogated beacon (causing a
timeout) or a malformed payload has been decoded.
This message is a status message that may be sent by the beacon at any time (not in
response to a command message) depending on acoustic activity triggering a
transceiver event.
Status Message Parameters
Parameter Type Description
MSG_ID
Command identification code (CID_ECHO_ERROR)
STATUS
Status code indicating the error that occurred.
Valid values are…
CST_XCVR_RESP_TIMEOUT
A valid response message was not received in the
time allowed by the beacons Range-Timeout
setting, indicating the remote beacon cannot be

CST_XCVR_RESP_WRONG
A message from another beacon was received while
waiting for a response.
CST_XCVR_RESP_ERROR
A general reception error has occurred while waiting
for a response.
CST_XCVR_PLOAD_ERROR
The payload of the acoustic message does not
contain the expected or required data, and the
operation cannot be performed – this can occur on

(i.e. the DEST_ID value used in the
command).
Valid values are form 1 to 15.
