This object, when read, always returns a value of
other(1). The behavior of setting this variable
to each of the acceptable values is as follows:
Other: Results in a badValue error.
Connect: Generates an
SM_CM_Connect.request(connect) signal to CMT
indicating that the ECM State machine is to begin
a connection sequence. The
fddiSMTRemoteDisconnectFlag is cleared on the
setting of this variable to 1. See ANSI Ref
9.3.1.1.
Disconnect: Generates an
SM_CM_Connect.request(disconnect) signal to ECM
and sets the fddiSMTRemoteDisconnectFlag. See
ANSI Ref 9.3.1.1.
Path-Test: Initiates a station path test.
The Path_Test variable (See ANSI Ref. 9.4.1) is
set to Testing. The results of this action are
not specified in this standard.
Self-Test: Initiates a station self test.
The results of this action are not specified in
this standard.
Attempts to set this object to all other values
results in a badValue error. Agents may elect to
return a badValue error on attempts to set this
variable to path-Test(4) or self-Test(5).
