970.0. "transmit enable timeouts" by RDGMCC::IS_NETS () Fri May 30 1997 10:20

    Hello,
    
    		I have a WANrouter90 running V1.3.5 software. It is
    currently clocking up about 500 transmit enable timeouts per hour.
    Can anybody please tell me what causes a transmit enable timeout 
    and whether 500 per hour is a cause for concern ?
    
    
    				Thanks 
    
    				
    				  Paul

Well, according to the spec, it's the number of times the DCE failed to assert the CTS modem signal in response to an RTS modem signal. It could be some sort of modem/cable problem. How is this line being used (eg Async, DDCMP, etc)? Are any other error counters getting incremented?
