Status Information and Troubleshooting
The Controller Link Support Board contains status information which reflects
the current status of communications and the Board. This status information
can be read using the STATUS READ or DATA LINK AREA READ FINS
command. The cause of the error can be found by reading the status informa-
tion.
This section explains the contents accessed by the ClkGetNetworkStatus
function and tells how to troubleshoot error information obtained.
