              this listing).  This message indicates the type
              of shutdown (kill) that is in progress.

 ACTION       None.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      Shutdown type = Link failure norecovery

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging messages "Node
              NodeName all sessions closed - beginning
              shutdown" and "Node NodeName shut down
              completed" (each message is described earlier in
              this listing).  This message indicates the type
              of shutdown (caused by a nonrecoverable link
              failure) that is in progress.

 ACTION       None.

 MESSAGE      Shutdown type = Link failure recovery

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging messages "Node
              NodeName all sessions closed - beginning
              shutdown" and "Node NodeName shut down
              completed" (each message is described earlier in
              this listing).  This message indicates the type
              of shutdown (caused by a recoverable link
              failure) that is in progress.

 ACTION       None.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      Shutdown type = Protocol

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging messages "Node
              NodeName all sessions closed - beginning
              shutdown" and "Node NodeName shut down
              completed" (each message is described earlier in
              this listing).  This message indicates the type
              of shutdown (protocol) that is in progress.

 ACTION       None.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      Shutdown type = Quiesce

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging messages "Node
              NodeName all sessions closed - beginning
              shutdown" and "Node NodeName shut down
              completed" (each message is described earlier in
              this listing).  This message indicates the type
              of shutdown (quiesce) that is in progress.

 ACTION       None.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      SIDH = SessIDHi, SIDL = SessIDLo, ODAI
              OAFDAFAssgnInd 

 CAUSE        This is part of the OpenUser/CloseUser logging
              messages.  It uniquely identifies the session.

 ACTION       None; this is a normal event.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      SNA PACKET REJECTED ON NODE NodeName BY MODULE
              ModuleNum 

 CAUSE        A packet intended for the LU-LU session was sent
              on the LU-SSCP session.  The LU-LU session is
              not available, since no SNA service has opened
              the session yet.  So, the packet was rejected.

 ACTION       Call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

 CAUSE        The remote system is configured to send a
              welcome screen immediately after receiving the
              ACTivate Logical Unit (ACTLU) response.  When
              this is the case, the welcome screen is rejected
              with sense 1003.

 ACTION       None; this is a normal event.  The welcome
              screen is retransmitted by the remote system
              when the LU-LU session is established.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      SNA Transport received exception event from LLC
              on node NodeName 

 CAUSE        An exception event caused the token ring LLC
              level to shut down.

 ACTION       Software internal error.  Submit node trace,
              SNA/Transport version, NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, and
              console logging list to the Hewlett-Packard
              support contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      SOCKERR nnn 

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging message "subsystem =
              SubsysID, procedure = ProcNum, error num =
              ErrorNum" when the ProcNum is -1 (the message is
              described later in this listing).

 ACTION       Look in the NS3000/XL Error Messages Reference 
              Manual (36923-61000) for the message with the
              number corresponding to nnn.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      Subsystem = SubsysID, Error Code = ErrorCode 

 CAUSE        This is associated with the "INTERNAL ERROR
              ErrorNum IN NODE NodeName" logging message (the
              message is described earlier in this listing).

 ACTION       Write down the SubsysID and ErrorCode, and call
              your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 MESSAGE      subsystem = SubsysID, procedure = ProcNum, error
              num = ErrorNum 

 CAUSE        This is part of the logging message for link
              errors (including errors that occur when trying
              to open or close the link).

 ACTION       Write down the indicated values and call your
              Hewlett-Packard support contact.  Note that, (1)
              depending on the ErrorNum, you might have to
              look at a message with the corresponding number
              in "X.25 Link Failure Error Codes" later in this
              appendix; and (2) depending on the ProcNum, you
              might have to look at a message with the
              corresponding number in "X.25 Link QLLC Internal
              Error Codes" later in this appendix.
