THE DEVICE STATISTICS SCREEN

6-5

AC Errors

This field displays the total Address Recognized Indicator/Frame Copied 
Indicator errors. A faulty node cannot set the address recognized indicator 
and/or frame copied indicator bits in the frame which it has copied. This 
leaves the downstream node (that reports the error) with an incorrect 
NAUN address.

This is usually caused by a problem in the adapter hardware of the NAUN 
of the reporting node.

Abort Transmit Errors

This field displays the total abort delimiter frames transmitted by a station. 
These occur when a station is loading frames onto a token, but does not 
detect an ending delimiter on the token after its access control field 
(corrupted token). The station transmits abort delimiters to halt frame 
transmission before its expected end-frame sequence.

These occur when a station’s adapter experiences an internal error while it 
is in the process of transmitting. This indicates a failing adapter on the 
reporting node – possibly because it is overheating in an overloaded 
system. The adapter may also issue a hard Internal Error, and remove itself 
from the ring.

Internal Errors

This field displays the total internal errors detected by the adapter’s 
hardware and/or firmware.

•

These are counted as soft errors when the node can recover from the 
error and remain on the ring.

•

These are counted as hard errors when they cause the adapter to 
remove itself from the ring.

In either instance, the error indicates a problem with the adapter hardware 
or firmware (possibly an inoperable chipset, timers, or counters). A 
common cause is overheating by the adapter.
