NCLHELP.HLB  —  Event Messages, ddcmp link (OpenVMS VAX)
 o  pdu received with header format error

    Generated each time the local station detects invalid fields in a
    received message, even though the message's CRC was correct. The
    errors that can generate this event are:

    o  Invalid select flag

    o  Invalid addr value

    o  Fill fields not zero

    o  Invalid control type or subtype fields

    Arguments:

    address     Specifies the address of the remote station that
                caused the event.
    message     Specifies the message header that contains the error.
    header

 o  selection address error

    Generated each time the controller of a multipoint link
    receives a message that contains an address other than that
    of the currently selected tributary. This event is supported
    only on half-duplex point-to-point links, or if the protocol
    characteristic is set to tributary.

    Arguments:

    current     Specifies the address of the currently selected
    address     tributary station.

    previous    Specifies the address of the previously selected
    address     tributary station.

    received    Specifies the address contained in the received
    address     message.

 o  streaming tributary

    Records potential jamming of a line by a remote station. It is
    generated:

    o  When a remote station exceeds a maximum transmission interval
       without releasing the channel.

    o  When a remote station fails to release a channel after sending
       a message with the select flag set.

    o  When the jamming condition is cleared.

    Arguments:

    previous    Specifies the address of the previously selected
    address     tributary station.

    received    Specifies the address contained in the message

    address     received after transmission should have ended. This
                argument is not present if no message is received.

    type        Specifies the type of jamming that the local station
                detected, or indicates that jamming has now cleared.

                Continued    The remote station continued to send
                transmis-    information after it sent a message with
                sion after   the select flag set.
                deselec-
                tion

                Continued    The remote station continued to send
                transmis-    information after exceeding the maximum
                sion after   transmission interval.
                timeout

                Streaming    A previous streaming tributary error has
                cleared      been cleared.

                Streaming    The remote station continued to send
                tributary    valid control messages or headers to
                             data message after exceeding the maximum
                             transmission interval.

 o  buffer too small

    Generated each time a message is received whose data field is
    larger than the buffers available on the local station.

    Arguments:

    buffer      Specifies the size of the receive buffer at the local
    size        station.

    count       Specifies the size of the received data message as
                specified in the message header.

 o  locally initiated state change

    Generated each time the state of the local station changes as a
    result of action on the local node.

    Arguments:

    new state   New value of the logical station's protocol state
                attribute.

    old state   Previous value of the logical station's protocol
                state attribute.

 o  receive error threshold reached

    Generated each time the number of consecutive receive-related
    errors reaches the receive error threshold limit of 7.

 o  remotely initiated state change

    Generated each time the state of the link changes as a result of
    action on the remote node.

    Arguments:

    new state   New value of the logical station's protocol state
                attribute.

    old state   Previous value of the logical station's protocol
                state attribute.

 o  selection error threshold reached

    This event is generated each time the number of consecutive
    selection-related errors reaches the selection error threshold
    limit of 7. This event is supported only when the protocol
    characteristic of the owning ddcmp link entity is set to control,
    or when the link is half-duplex point-to-point.

 o  send error threshold reached

    This event is generated each time the number of consecutive
    transmit related errors reaches the transmit error threshold
    limit of 7.

 o  strt received while in maintenance

    This event is generated each time a strt message is received
    while the value of the status attribute protocol state of the
    local station is set to maintenance.
