Mac Abort Counter; Socket Port State - Motorola DCT6200 Installation Manual

4-42 Diagnostics

MAC ABORT COUNTER

The MAC ABORT CNTR increments every time the MAC layer reaches the Cell Abort Count
limit. The MAC ABORT CNTR is reset by the successful upstream transmission of a cell, for
example, when an ACK is received by the DCT*.
If the MAC ABORT CNTR reaches the MAC Abort Count limit, the DCT* assumes the MAC
layer is unavailable due to noise, congestion, or some other problem. The DCT* will stop
transmitting data upstream, report an error to the calling function, and attempt 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.
