X.25 Link Failure Error Codes 

Listed below are the codes that are generated for X.25 link failures by
the Qualified Logical Link Control (QLLC) module.  They are listed in
numerical order according to the ErrorNum displayed as part of these SNA
Transport logging messages:

     Link connect failure on node NodeName 
     subsystem = SubsysID, procedure = ProcNum, error num = ErrorNum 

     Link failure, recovery in progress on node NodeName 
     subsystem = SubsysID, procedure = ProcNum, error num = ErrorNum 

     Link failure, shutting down the node NodeName 
     subsystem = SubsysID, procedure = ProcNum, error num = ErrorNum 

The logging messages are described in "SNA Transport Logging Messages"
earlier in this appendix.  The X.25 link-related ProcNum values are
described in "X.25 Link QLLC Internal Error Codes" later in this
appendix.

-14          MESSAGE      BAD FRAME RECEIVED

             CAUSE        SNA/X.25 received an invalid QLLC control frame
                          (QLLU) from the remote system.

             ACTION       Try to reproduce the problem with link-level
                          tracing turned on.  Also, call your
                          Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-15          MESSAGE      REMOTE PROTOCOL ERROR

             CAUSE        The remote system sent a QLLC control frame
                          (QLLU) that violated the QLLC protocol.  This
                          can be caused by software errors on the IBM
                          system or the HP 3000 system, or by the two end
                          nodes being out of sync.

             ACTION       Try to restart the SNA node.  If the problem
                          continues, reproduce it with link-level tracing
                          turned on and call your Hewlett-Packard support
                          contact.

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

-38          MESSAGE      QLLC INTERNAL ERROR

             CAUSE        The Qualified Logical Link Control (QLLC) module
                          has either encountered an internal error or
                          received an error notification from NETIPC.

             ACTION       Note the ProcNum displayed in the accompanying
                          logging message.  Then, look at the message with
                          the corresponding number in "X.25 Link QLLC
                          Internal Error Codes" later in this appendix.
                          Also, call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-74          MESSAGE      DATACOM LINE LOST

             CAUSE        The virtual circuit has terminated.  That is, it
                          has been cleared, reset, or restarted.

             ACTION       Since this is a recoverable link error, restart
                          the SNA node.  If the error still occurs, call
                          your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-76          MESSAGE      DISCONNECT TIMER POPPED

             CAUSE        The X.25 link has timed out while waiting for a
                          solicited Q disconnect (QDC) from the remote
                          system.  The disconnect timer normally is
                          running when the link is in the process of
                          shutting down.  Since the link is terminated
                          when the timer pops, the desired result
                          (shutting down the link) is achieved.

             ACTION       Note that the solicited QDC was never received.
                          No other action is necessary.

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

-77          MESSAGE      INACTIVITY TIMER POPPED

             CAUSE        The time interval specified for Inactivity
                          Timeout has elapsed since any packets were sent
                          or received.

             ACTION       Use NMMGR or the configuration file critical
                          summary to ensure that the interval specified
                          for Inactivity Timeout is correct.  If the
                          timeout occurs before a transaction is
                          completed, try increasing the value of
                          Inactivity Timeout.  If the error still occurs,
                          call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-78          MESSAGE      CONNECT TIMER POPPED

             CAUSE        The X.25 link has timed out waiting for a QSM
                          from the remote system.

             ACTION       Restart the SNA node.  If the problem still
                          occurs, call your Hewlett-Packard support
                          contact.

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

-79          MESSAGE      ALREADY CONNECTED

             CAUSE        SNA Transport has requested an SNA connection
                          for an X.25 link that is already connected.

             ACTION       Call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-80          MESSAGE      DISCONNECT IN PROGRESS

             CAUSE        SNA Transport has requested an SNA connection or
                          disconnection while a QDC is pending from the
                          remote system.

             ACTION       Call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-81          MESSAGE      CONNECT IN PROGRESS

             CAUSE        SNA Transport has requested an SNA connection or
                          disconnection while the QSM from the remote
                          system is pending.

             ACTION       Call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.

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

-83          MESSAGE      UNEXPECTED QDC

             CAUSE        The remote system has sent an unsolicited Q
                          disconnect (QDC).

             ACTION       Restart the SNA node.  If the problem still
                          occurs, call your Hewlett-Packard support
                          contact.

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

-84          MESSAGE      UNEXPECTED QSM

             CAUSE        The remote system has sent a QSM after the SNA
                          connection has already been established.

             ACTION       Since this is a recoverable link error, the SNA
                          node will be revived.  So, no action is
                          necessary.
