MAC ABORT COUNTER

The MAC ABORT COUNTER increments every time the MAC layer reaches the Cell Abort
Count limit. The MAC ABORT COUNTER is reset by the successful upstream transmission of a
cell, for example, when an ACK is received by the set-top.
If the MAC ABORT COUNTER reaches the MAC Abort Count limit, the set-top assumes the
MAC layer is unavailable due to noise, congestion, or some other problem. The set-top 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 COUNTER is not configured or unknown.
