Table 63: Link Error Status block

The Drive's Link Error Status block is defined as follows:

Link Failure Count: This is a count of the number of times that the port's receiver loses synchronization for a continuous
period of time determined by R_T_TOV. When a link failure condition is detected by the drive, it will transmit LIP(F8) on that
port.

Loss of sync count: This is a count of the number of times that the port's receiver loses synchronization.

Loss of signal count: Not implemented.

Primitive Sequence Protocol error: Not implemented.

Invalid Transmission Word: This is a count of the number of times that the port detects an invalid transmission word on its
receiver.

Invalid CRC Count: This is a count of the number of frames received with invalid CRC. Only one invalid CRC is counted for
each command nexus.
