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 an ACK is
received by the set-top. If the counter reaches the MAC abort count limit, the DCH200
assumes the MAC layer is unavailable due to noise, congestion, or some other problem.
The DCH200 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.
The socket mode and activity:
•
UNUSED — The socket is not being used.
•
OPENED — The socket is open.
•
READY — The socket is ready to send or receive.
•
RECVING — The socket is receiving data from the application server.
•
SENDING — The socket is sending data to the application server.

The set-top is in the interactive state and waiting for the

messages.
