MAC Abort Cntr
This counter increments every time the MAC layer reaches the cell abort count limit. It is
reset by the successful upstream transmission of a cell, for example, when the DCT6400
receives an ACK. If the counter reaches the MAC abort count limit, the DCT6400
assumes the MAC layer is unavailable due to noise, congestion, or some other problem.
The DCT6400 stops transmitting data upstream, reports an error to the calling function,
and attempts to re-enter the network using the initialization process. 0000 is displayed as
default or if the MAC Abort CNTR is not configured or unknown.
Socket Port State The socket mode and activity:
