OVERRUN ERRORS is the total number of message overrun

errors that have occurred since the last reset of the drop. This

number should ideally remain equal to zero.
ABORTERRORS is the total number of message abort errors that

have occurred since the last reset of the drop. This number

should ideally remain equal to zero.
MESSAGES SENTis the total number of messages transmitted

by the drop. While the line is inactive, this value for the slave

drops will remain unchanged. While the line is active, this value

will constantly increase.
LASTRESETis a nonĆvolatile register that contains the cause of

the latest software reset. Upon initial powerĆup, the zz"

parameter should be equal to NONE". If no software restarts

occur during operation, the zz" parameter will remain NONE."

The other possible values of zz" are:
LE reset due to excessive line errors of any kind (Receive

Timeouts, CRC, Overrun, Abort).

UI reset due to Unexpected Init" request message.
PF reset due to a Power Fail" interrupt that occurred while

the line was active. Input power has to remain valid (i.e.,

the power failure must be a spurious interrupt, line notch or

line dip) for this code to be stored and displayed.

Pn reset due to a port (rail) fault detected during the most

recent port I/O update cycle. n" equals the port number

(0Ć3) that experienced the fault. (M/N 57C328 and

M/N 57C330 only).

PORTRETRIES (P0, P1, P2, P3) is the number of port operations

retried on each port. These values will increase to 255 and then

roll over to 0. Ideally, these values should remain equal to zero.

The five error parameters (RECEIVE TIMEOUTS, CRC, OVERRUN,

ABORT, and PORT RET RIES) indicate high speed line integrity (or

lack of it). A few errors may accumulate over a period of time, such

as hours or days; but when these parameter values increase

consistently over a period of seconds, there is a problem with

integrity. See section 6.5 for the troubleshooting procedure.
In addition to the above status information, the Status command will

display the I/O configuration of the local drop. The following column

header will be displayed:
