OID_802_5_CURRENT_RING_STATUS (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This object specifies the last ring status indicated with an NDIS_RING_XXX status code, which can be any of the following values:

• NDIS_RING_SIGNAL_LOSS
• NDIS_RING_HARD_ERROR
• NDIS_RING_SOFT_ERROR
• NDIS_RING_TRANSMIT_BEACON
• NDIS_RING_LOBE_WIRE_FAULT
• NDIS_RING_AUTO_REMOVAL_ERROR
• NDIS_RING_REMOVE_RECEIVED
• NDIS_RING_COUNTER_OVERFLOW
• NDIS_RING_SINGLE_STATION
• NDIS_RING_RING_RECOVERY

A miniport driver also can call NdisMIndicateStatus to indicate problems such as cables that have been accidentally removed and then reinserted, or a ring that has temporarily failed. For example, suppose both the following conditions occur:

• The miniport driver calls NdisMIndicateStatus with NDIS_STATUS_RING_STATUS.
• The StatusBuffer contains one of the following status values:
  • NDIS_RING_LOBE_WIRE_FAULT
  • NDIS_RING_HARD_ERROR
  • NDIS_RING_SIGNAL_LOSS

After such a change in status has been signaled with an indication, any associated thresholds or statistics counters remain unchanged.
