Non-Op

The concentrator is attempting to enter the ring.

The ring is operational.

Detect

The claim/beacon process of the FDDI ring protocol has exceeded 
one second. This indicates a potential problem.

The ring failed to complete the claim/beacon process because a 
duplicate FDDI address has been detected.

Ring-Op-Dup

The ring is operational, but a duplicate FDDI address has been 
detected.

The concentrator is now sending directed beacons to indicate a

neighbor. A trace is being sent to notify the upstream neighbor of 
the problem. The concentrator and all stations between the
