   An FDDI Station PHY Port entity provides the management view of the FDDI
   Station PHY Port and the FDDI pmd.  Each station has at least one PHY port
   and a concentrator is a device that has at least one phy port of type M.
   A dual-attached station or dual-attached concentrator has a phy port type
   A and type B.  A single-attached station has a phy port of type B.

     LEM THRESHOLD

         Link error monitor threshold.

         be set.

         characteristic cannot be set.

         ANSI multimode          - low power

         ANSI multimode type 1   - thinwire

         ANSI single mode type 2 - shielded twisted-pair

2  –  counter

     CONNECTIONS COMPLETED

         Number of times the PHY port entered the in use state, having
         completed the initialization process.

     ELASTICITY BUFFER ERRORS

         Number of times the elasticity buffer function had an overflow or
         underflow.

     LCT REJECTS

         Number of times a connection was rejected due to failure of the Link
         Confidence Test at either end of the physical connection.

     LEM REJECTS

         Number of times an active connection was disconnected due to
         rejection by the Link Error Monitor at this end of the physical
         connection, or by expiration of the Noise timer.

     LINK ERRORS

         Total number of raw link error input events seen by the Link Error
         Monitor.

3  –  status

     BROKEN REASON

         Reason phy port is in broken state, or if in broken state, none.

     ESTIMATED LINK ERROR RATE

         Link error monitor current estimate of error rate.

     NEIGHBOR PHY TYPE

         Status may be A, B, S, M or unknown.

     REJECT REASON

         Reason the phy port is in a failed or watch state.  This is not
         meaningful when phy port is in some other state.

         NONE -                    No reason.

         STANDBY -                 Physical port and its neighboring physical
                                   port form a redundant physical connection
                                   dual-homing feature. In a dual-homed
                                   configuration, the B to M connection is
                                   the higher priority physical connection,
                                   and the A to M connection is the standby
                                   physical connection.  The standby
                                   connection will become active if the B to
                                   M connection is lost.

         LOCAL LCT -               Link Confidence Test failed on this end
                                   of the physical connection.

         REMOTE LCT -              Link Confidence Test failed on the other
                                   end of the physical connection.

         LEM REJECT -              Error monitor disconnected this connection
                                   due to the error rate exceeding the LEM
                                   threshold.

         NOISE REJECT -            Noise timer expired because a single noise event
                                   lasted for more than 1.31072 ms.

         REMOTE REJECT -           Neighboring physical port broke the
                                   connection for an unknown reason.

         LCT BOTH SIDES -          Link Confidence Test failed on both sides
                                   of the physical connection.

         TOPOLOGY REASON -         Neighboring physical port's physical port
                                   type is an illegal match for this physical
                                   port's physical port type.

         TRACE IN PROGRESS -       Physical port was initializing when a
                                   pc-trace occurred.  When a pc-trace
                                   occurs, any physical ports that have not
                                   yet established a physical connection are
                                   shut down to prevent the topology from
                                   changing.

         LCT PROTOCOL ERROR -      Neighboring physical port has been
                                   detected to have prematurely exited the
                                   link confidence test LCT.

         TRACE RECEIVED-DISABLED - Physical port was momentarily disabled
                                   because it received a pc-trace when its
                                   own pc-trace function was disabled.  The
                                   pc-trace function is enabled by default.
                                   The trace disable switch is not remotely
                                   manageable.

     STATE

         Operational state of the phy port entity nonsettable.

         IN USE -            The physical port has established a connection
                             and is fully operational.  Communications
                             services are now available.

         BROKEN -            The physical port has failed initialization
                             tests and is not available for use.

         WATCH -             Same as starting, except the physical port has
                             failed to complete the last connection attempt.
                             Refer to the physical port's status parameter,
                             reject reason for the reason for connection
                             failure. Connection attempts will continue until
                             successful.

         FAILED -            Same as waiting, except the physical port has
                             failed to complete the last connection attempt.
                             Refer to the physical port's status parameter
                             reject reason for the reason for connection
                             failure. Connection attempts will continue until
                             successful.

         WAITING -           The physical port is beginning to establish a
                             connection and is waiting for a response from
                             the neighboring physical port.

         STARTING -          The physical port has received a response from
                             the neighboring physical port and is exchanging
                             information and performing the link confidence
                             test LCT prior to completing the connection.

         OFF-READY -         The physical port is waiting to be enabled or
                             has been disabled by management request.

         INTERNAL LOOPBACK - The physical port has been configured to
                             internally present all transmitted symbols to
                             the receive interface.  The network connector is
                             inactive.  This allows internally generated test
                             frames to be looped back for test purposes.
