Bit 2 – RXINTO Receive in Transmit Opportunity
This bit indicates the detection of another node transmitting in this node’s local assigned transmit opportunity. This could indicate multiple nodes being assigned the same Local ID.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
Another node has not been detected transmitting in this node’s TO |
1 |
Another node has been detected transmitting in this node’s TO |
Bit 1 – UNEXPB Unexpected Beacon received
When configured as the PLCA coordinator in charge of transmitting the periodic coordinating BEACONs, this bit indicates the detection of an unexpected BEACON on the segment. This condition may be due to the configuration of multiple PLCA coordinators on the segment.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
Another node on the segment has not been detected transmitting a BEACON |
1 |
Another node on the segment has been detected transmitting a BEACON |
Bit 0 – BCNBFTO Beacon received Before Transmit Opportunity
This bit indicates the detection of a BEACON before the node’s assigned transmit opportunity. This condition could indicate the configuration of multiple PLCA coordinators on the segment. Other conditions that may cause this to occur include a PLCA coordinator with an incorrectly configured maximum node count resulting in a PLCA cycle that is too short, or a PLCA Local ID that is configured beyond the PLCA cycle.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
A BEACON has not been detected before local transmit opportunity |
1 |
A BEACON was detected before local transmit opportunity |
