SDLC Link Startup Error Messages
Listed below are the messages that might occur when you are starting the
SDLC link. These messages occur when the SNACONTROL START command calls
the WAN_Module_Config procedure and encounters an error. Depending on
the logging configuration for the SDLC Link subsystem, these messages are
logged to the console, to disk, or both. The messages are logged in this
format:
Linkname = LinkName Event Type = EventType
Log Class = LogClass Path = Path
Error Num = ErrorNumber Status = Status
(Note that LinkName is the same as the name of the node.) The messages
are listed below in numerical order according to ErrorNumber.
1 MESSAGE The link type is not SDLC or LAP-B or RJEBSC.
CAUSE The caller of this module did not set the link
type to SDLC, LAP-B, or RJE BSC. For an SDLC
link, the link type must be set to SDLC.
ACTION Write down the error information displayed on
the console and call your Hewlett-Packard
support contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 MESSAGE Link data not found in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
CAUSE The link data was not found in the configuration

to start the SDLC link again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 MESSAGE Could not close NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
CAUSE The configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS could
