Displaying Information About the Access Server
Send Failure Reasons Mask providing information about the type or

If a reason for send failures is heartbeat errors
and the access server characteristic
HEARTBEAT is enabled for a transceiver that
supports heartbeat, you can usually expect up
to about 200 such errors daily. This number
does not indicate a network problem.
If a reason for send failures is heartbeat errors
and the transceiver being used does not support
heartbeat, check to see whether you have
heartbeat enabled. The send failures count will
reflect the heartbeat errors generated from the
transceiver not responding to checks of its
heartbeat circuitry. Disable the access server
characteristic HEARTBEAT to eliminate the
spurious generation of heartbeat errors.
Receive Failures Number of packets that were received with an
error condition. For more information, refer to
the Receive Failure Reasons field. This counter
should be 0 or a low value such as 1 or 2 daily.
