DLCETHER Link Session Termination

The Standard Ethernet data link control (DLCETHER) device manager can be terminated by the user or by the remote station in the following ways:

• Issuing a DLC_HALT_LS command operation to the DLCETHER device manager will cause the primary/combined station to initiate a disconnect (DISC) command packet sequence.
• Receiving an inactivity time out can terminate a DLCETHER link session. This action is useful in detecting a loss of connection in the middle of a session.
• Sending a DISC command packet as a primary combined station will terminate a DLCETHER link session.

  Note: Abnormal termination is caused by certain protocol violations or by resource outages.
