Monitoring Wideband SIPs

The show diag command is useful for monitoring a Cisco Wideband SIP.

In addition, the show controllers jacket command displays Wideband SIP register values. The show controllers jacket command is intended for use by Cisco Systems technical support personnel.

show diag

To verify that the Wideband SIP is powered on, use the show diag command. If show diag displays any output, the Wideband SIP is powered on. The show diag command provides a variety of information on the Wideband SIP. In the following example, the hardware type of the Wideband SIP is 2jacket-1 card.

Router# show diag 1/0 

Slot/Subslot 1/0:
        2jacket-1 card, 0 ports
        Card is full slot size
        Card is analyzed 
        Card detected 16:46:44 ago
        Card uptime 0 days, 16 hours, 46 minutes, 36 seconds
        Card idle time 0 days, 14 hours, 22 minutes, 34 seconds
        Voltage status: 3.3V Nominal 2.5V Nominal 1.5V Nominal 12V Nominal

        RMA History              : 00
        CLEI Code                : 
...

If show diag displays no output, the Wideband SIP is not powered on.

Router# show diag 1/0     // Displays no output

Monitoring Wideband SPAs

The following commands are useful for monitoring a Cisco Wideband SPA:  

show hw-module bay oir

show diag

show controllers modular-cable

show controllers cable

show hw-module bay oir

To verify that the Wideband SPA is powered on, use the show hw-module bay oir command. If the Operational Status is "ok," the Wideband SPA is powered on and operational.

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 oir

Module        Model                Operational Status
------------- -------------------- ------------------------
bay 1/0/0     SPA-24XDS-SFP        ok

If show hw-module bay oir displays "admin down" in the Operational Status field, the Wideband SPA has been administratively disabled.

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 oir

Module        Model                Operational Status
------------- -------------------- ------------------------
bay 1/0/0     SPA-24XDS-SFP        admin down

show diag

To display hardware and diagnostic information for a Wideband SPA, use the show diag command.

Router# show diag 1/0/0 

Slot/Subslot/Port 1/0/0:
        24rfchannel-spa-1 card, 1 port + 1 redundant port
        Card is half slot size

show controllers modular-cable

With Cisco IOS commands, the Wideband SPA and its Gigabit Ethernet ports are not considered standard user-configurable interfaces and do not appear in the output of the show interfaces command. The Wideband SPA is a controller and the show controllers modular-cable command displays information about the SPA, its Gigabit Ethernet ports, installed SFP modules, wideband channels, and so on.

The following example provides sample show controllers modular-cable output for the Wideband SPA located in slot 1, subslot 0, bay 0 of a Cisco uBR10012 router. In the output, the Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected field indicates that Port 1is the active Gigabit Ethernet port on the Wideband SPA.

show controllers cable

To display information about SPA RF channels and their attributes that have been added to the cable MAC domain, use the show controllers cable slot/subslot/port downstream command.

The following configuration shows the modular-cable interface channels added to the MAC domain c8/0/0:

Router# show run interface c8/0/0 | inc Modular-Cable
 downstream Modular-Cable 1/0/1 rf-channel 1 upstream 1
 downstream Modular-Cable 1/0/1 rf-channel 4 upstream 0

Monitoring Wideband Channels

The following commands are useful for monitoring wideband channels:  

show interface wideband-cable

show hw-module bay

show interface wideband-cable

To display information about a wideband-cable interface (wideband channel), use the show interface wideband-cable command. Wideband channels are similar to cable interfaces and information about them is also displayed with the show ip interfaces and show interfaces commands.

The following example displays show interface wideband-cable command output for wideband channel 0 on the Wideband SPA in slot/subslot/bay 1/0/0.

Router# show interface wideband-cable 1/0/0:0

Hardware Status and Line Protocol Status for a Wideband-Channel and Modular-Cable Interface

When a wideband-channel cable interface is specified in show interface wideband-cable or another Cisco IOS command that displays hardware status and line protocol status for a cable interface, the following applies:

The hardware status for a wideband-channel cable interface will be up if the Wideband SPA is installed in the Wideband SIP and both are powered on.

The line protocol for a wideband-channel cable interface will be up if the wideband channel is associated with at least one RF channel and the following parameters have been set for the RF channel:

If the line protocol for a wideband-channel cable interface is up, all wideband-channel configuration information needed to successfully send data is present. However, additional configuration information may be needed to complete the Wideband SPA configuration process. For information on Wideband SPA configuration procedures, see the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide.

When a modular-cable interface is specified in show interface modular-cable or another Cisco IOS command that displays hardware status and line protocol status for a cable interface, the following applies:

The hardware status for a modular-cable interface will be up if the Wideband SPA is installed in the Wideband SIP and both are powered on.

The line protocol for a modular-cable interface will be up if the narrowband channel is associated with at least one RF channel and the following parameters have been set for the RF channel:

The upstream channels from the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20 cable interface line card must be associated with the modular-cable interface downstream channels in a given cable MAC domain.

The total bandwidth allocated for the interface must be greater than or equal to 1%.

The modular host must be configured on the modular cable controller for the corresponding SPA.

If the modular-cable interface is a primary-capable channel, a DEPI remote ID must be configured for this channel. The UDP port number must not be configured in this case.


Note RF channels that are non-primary-capable and used in a wideband interface can use either a DEPI remote ID or a UDP port number and the line protocol and status of this interface is always down.


The following parameters must be set for the RF channel:

RF channel frequency

show hw-module bay

To display additional information about a wideband channel, use the show hw-module bay command with the wideband-channel keyword. You also have to specify one of the following keywords indicating the particular type of information you want to show:

association—Displays wideband-to-narrowband (traditional DOCSIS) channel association information. The association of a wideband channel to a traditional DOCSIS downstream channel is made when a primary downstream channel for the fiber node is configured with the downstream command.

config—Displays wideband channel configuration information.

counters—Displays wideband channel statistics.

mapping—Displays the mapping of RF channels to wideband channels.

To display wideband-to-narrowband channel association information, use show hw-module bay with the association and wideband-channel keywords. If you specify a wideband channel number after wideband-channel, output is for that channel only, for example:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 0

WB                      BG   Bundle  NB          NB chan  Reserved  Total

Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0   24   1       Cable5/0/1  120      0         0 

In the preceding example, the following information is displayed for each wideband channel:

WB channel—Wideband-cable interface (wideband channel).

BG ID—Bonding-group ID for the wideband channel.

Bundle num—The number of the virtual bundle interface in which the wideband channel is a member.

NB channel—The slot/subslot/port of the primary downstream channel for the wideband channel.

NB channel ID—Channel ID for the primary downstream channel.

Reserved CIR—The reserved committed information rate (CIR). Because CIR is not currently supported for wideband traffic, reserved CIR is always 0.

Total CIR—The CIR that is currently available.

To display configuration information for a wideband channel, use show hw-module bay with the config and wideband-channel keywords. If you do not specify a wideband channel number after wideband-channel, output is for all wideband channels, for example:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config wideband-channel

Wideband-Cable1/0/0:9   33    123     5/0           Yes
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:10  34    123     5/0           Yes
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:11  35    123     5/0           Yes

In the preceding example, the following information is displayed for each wideband channel:

Wideband Channel—Represents the wideband channel.

BG ID—Bonding-group ID.

Bundle num—The number of the virtual bundle interface in which the wideband channel is a member.

WB Host Slot/Subslot—The cable interface line card that has been configured for Wideband protocol operations. For information, see the modular-host subslot command in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Confirguration Guide.

Primary BG—"Yes" indicates that the wideband channel is a primary bonding group (primary wideband channel).

To display wideband-channel statistics, use show hw-module bay with the counters and wideband-channel keywords.

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 counters wideband-channel 0 

SPA      WB channel   Tx packets              Tx octets

Monitoring Cable MAC Domains

The following commands are useful for monitoring the cable MAC domains:

show cable mac-domain downstream-service-group

show cable mac-domain cgd-associations

show cable mac-domain downstream-service-group

To display MAC domain downstream service group information for a primary downstream channel, use the show cable mac-domain downstream-service-group command.

The following example displays show cable mac-domain downstream-service-group output for the primary downstream channel on the cable interface at slot/subslot/port 5/0/0:

Router# show cable mac-domain cable5/0/0 downstream-service-group 

Primary  MD-DS-SG         RF                                                            
IF       Id        SPA    Chan                                                          
C5/0/0   1         1/0/0  0 - 1

In the preceding example, the MD-DS-SG with ID 1 is used for RF channels 0 and 1 on the Wideband SPA located in slot/subslot/bay 1/0/0.

show cable mac-domain cgd-associations

To display a summary of the channel grouping domain associations for all cable MAC domains, use the show cable mac-domain cgd-associations command.

The following is sample output of the show cable mac-domain cgd-associations command for the cable interface at slot 6, subslot 0, and port 0:

Router# show cable mac-domain c6/0/0 cgd-associations
CGD Host  SPA   DS Channels             Upstreams (All)   Active Remote DS
Ca6/0/0         Local                   1            Y
          1/0/0 0-1                     0

The preceding example shows the following information for the cable MAC domain host, which is the cable interface at slot 6, subslot 0, and port 0:

The SPA downstream channels 0 and 1 from the SPA slot 1, subslot 0, and bay 0 have been added to this MAC domain.

Upstream 1 is associated with the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20 downstream channel. If the All column in the command output indicates Y, then this indicates that all upstream channels associated with the Cisco uBR10-MC5x20 line card downtream channels (in this case, one or more SPA downstream channels are configured using the upstream cable connector command). If all upstream channels are not configured, then this column will not display.

Troubleshooting Wideband SIPs and Wideband SPAs

This section describes troubleshooting techniques for a Wideband SIP or Wideband SPA. It includes the following sections:

Performing Basic Troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Active Gigabit Ethernet Port Is Up

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Correctly Configured for SPA-to-EQAM Communications

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Able to Communicate with the Edge QAM Device

Performing Basic Troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA  

To perform basic troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA, complete the following steps:

 
Action
More Information or Example

Step 1 

Use the show diag command to check that a Wideband SIP is powered on.

Router# show diag 1/0 

Slot/Subslot 1/0:                                                               
        2jacket-1 card, 0 ports                                                 
        Card is full slot size                                                  
        Card is analyzed                                                        
        Card detected 0:3:16 ago                                              
        Card uptime 0 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes, 17 seconds                    
...

If show diag displays output, the Wideband SIP is powered on. If show diag displays no output, the Wideband SIP is not powered on.

Step 2 

Check that the Wideband SIP FAIL LED is not on.

The FAIL LED is turned on by default and turned off by 
software after basic board functionality has been verified. 
If the SIP FAIL LED remains on, the SIP has failed to 
initialize or has encountered an error. 

Step 3 

Use the show hw-module bay oir command to check that a Wideband SPA is powered on.

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 oir

Module        Model                Operational Status
------------- -------------------- ------------------------
bay 1/0/0     SPA-24XDS-SFP        ok

If the Operational Status is "ok," the Wideband SPA is powered on and operational.

If the Operational Status is "admin down," the Wideband SPA is not powered on.

Step 4 

Check that the Wideband SPA STATUS LED is lit green.

If the STATUS LED is green, the SPA is ready and operational.

If the STATUS LED is amber, SPA power is on and good, and the SPA is being configured.

If the STATUS LED is off, SPA power is off.

Step 5 

If cables are connected to one or both of the SPA Gigabit Ethernet port SFP modules and the links for these should be up, check that the Wideband SPA A/L (Active Loopback) LEDs are lit green.

If the A/L LED is green, the port is enabled and the link is up.

If the A/L LED is amber, the port is enabled and the link is down.

If the A/L LED is off, the port is not enabled.

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Active Gigabit Ethernet Port Is Up

The Gigabit Ethernet ports on a Wideband SPA are not considered standard user-configurable interfaces and do not appear in the output of the show interfaces command. The Wideband SPA is a controller with one active and one redundant Gigabit Ethernet port. The show controller modular-cable command displays information about the SPA, its Gigabit Ethernet active port, installed small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, and so on.

The following example provides sample show controller modular-cable output for the Wideband SPA located in slot 1, subslot 0, bay 0 of a Cisco uBR10012 router.

Router#  show controller modular-cable 1/0/0 brief


SPA 0 is present
status LED: [green]
Host 12V is enabled and is okay.
Power has been enabled to the SPA.
SPA reports power enabled and okay.
SPA reports it is okay and is NOT held in reset.

Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected : Port 1
Receive Interface              : In Reset
Receive Interface              : Disabled
Transmit Interface             : Out of Reset
Transmit Interface             : Enabled
Primary Receive Clock          : Disabled
Backup Receive Clock           : Disabled
SFP [Port 0] : 1000BASE-SX Present 
 Tx Enabled , LOS Detected , TxFault Not Detected
 Link Status [Port 0] : DOWN 

SFP [Port 1] : 1000BASE-T Present 
 Tx Enabled , LOS Not Detected , TxFault Not Detected
 Link Status [Port 1] : UP 
... 

In the preceding output, notice the following:

The Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected field indicates the active Gigabit Ethernet port.

For the active Gigabit Ethernet port, the SFP [Port 1] field indicates the type of SFP module that is present.

For the active Gigabit Ethernet port, the Link Status [Port 1] field indicates whether the link is up.

The Cisco Wideband SPA transmits data in a unidirectional manner only and does not receive data from devices connected to its active Gigabit Ethernet port.

If the link for the active Gigabit Ethernet port is not up, check the following:

The SFP module is correctly installed and matches the SFP module in the connected device.

The cables to the Wideband SPA ports are correctly connected to a powered-on device.

The cables to the Wideband SPA ports are not bent or damaged.

A hardware failure has not occurred. For information, see the "Performing Basic Troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA" section.

Use the show controller modular-cable command with the sfp keyword to get more detailed information on the SFP modules installed in a Wideband SPA Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Correctly Configured for SPA-to-EQAM Communications

If a Wideband SPA is unable to communicate with an edge QAM device, check that the RF channels configured with the rf-channel command match the values required by the edge QAM device. You can use the show hw-module bay command to see the values that have been configured for an RF channel. For example:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config rf-channel 0 verbose 

SPA                                 : Wideband-Cable 1/0/0
RF channel number                   : 0 
Frequency                           : 699000000 Hz
Modulation                          : 64qam
Annex                               : B
IP address of next hop              : 192.168.200.30
MAC address of EQAM                 : 000c.3033.2cbf
UDP port number                     : 49152
EQAM headroom                       : 0 

Check that the following values are correct and match what is configured on the edge QAM device:

Frequency—The center frequency used for this RF channel.

IP address of next hop—The IP address of the edge QAM device for this RF channel.

MAC address—The MAC address of the next-hop or edge QAM device for this RF channel.

UDP port—The UDP port number for the QAM output port for this RF channel.

If any of the above values do not match what is present on the edge QAM device, the Wideband SPA will not be able to successfully communicate with that device.

On the uBR10012 router, RF channels are configured with the rf-channel command. The values on the edge QAM are device-specific and are typically configured when setting up the edge QAM device.

Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Able to Communicate with the Edge QAM Device

To verify that a Wideband SPA that has been correctly configured for wideband operations is communicating with the edge QAM device, use the show hw-module bay command with the counters and rf-channel keywords. In the following example, only RF channels 0 to 3 on the Wideband SPA are transmitting MPEG packets.

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 counters rf-channel 
SPA      RF channel   MPEG packets tx        Sync Tx          MP Pkts Tx

Troubleshooting Wideband Channels

This section describes troubleshooting techniques for wideband channels. It includes the following sections:

Verifying That a Wideband Channel Is Up and Is Transmitting Packets

Verifying That a Wideband Channel Is Configured Correctly

For information on configuring wideband channels, see the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide.

Verifying That a Wideband Channel Is Up and Is Transmitting Packets

To verify that a wideband channel is up and transmitting packets, use the show interface wideband-cable command and examine the first line of output and the packets output field:

Router# show interface wideband-cable 1/0/0:1 

Wideband-Cable1/0/0:1 is up, line protocol is up

     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

For information on what criteria are used to determine whether a wideband channel and its associated line protocol are up, see the "show interface wideband-cable" section.

Verifying That a Wideband Channel Is Configured Correctly

To verify whether a wideband channel is configured correctly, use the show hw-module bay command with the wideband-channel keyword and the association, config, or mapping keywords. The following examples show the output for the association keyword:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 0

WB                      BG   Bundle  NB          NB chan  Reserved  Avail
channel                 ID   num     channel     ID       CIR       CIR
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0   24   123     Cable5/0/1  120      0         0 

In the preceding output, the Bundle num field indicates the virtual bundle interface to which the wideband channel belongs. For a description of each field in the preceding output, see the "show hw-module bay" section.

The wideband channel and the primary downstream channel (NB channel) must be members of the same virtual bundle interface. The CMTS running configuration file shows the virtual bundle (cable bundle) for the primary downstream channel (Cable5/0/1):

interface Cable5/0/1
 no ip address
 load-interval 30
 no cable packet-cache
 cable bundle 123
 cable downstream channel-id 120
... 

The downstream modular-cable rf-channel command specifies the RF channels that are available for wideband channels on a fiber node. If a wideband channel attempts to use an RF channel that has not been made available for use on the fiber node, a misconfiguration error occurs. In this case, the show hw-module bay command displays the following error message:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 

WB                      BG   Bundle  NB          NB chan  Reserved  Avail
channel                 ID   num     channel     ID       CIR       CIR
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0   RF channel mismatch with Fiber Node 1

The following example shows the show hw-module bay output for the config keyword:

Router# show  hw-module bay 1/0/0 config wideband-channel

A channel-bonded wideband channel is associated with at least two RF channels depending on the wideband channel's configuration. The cable rf-channel command associates an RF channel with a wideband channel. The bandwidth percent (BW %) of each RF channel used for the wideband channel is 100 percent by default, but is configurable with the cable rf-channel command.

Troubleshooting Wideband Cable Modems

This section describes troubleshooting techniques for wideband cable modems. It includes the following sections:

Pinging a Wideband Cable Modem

Verifying That a Wideband-Capable Cable Modem Is Registered as a Wideband Modem

Verifying Other Information for Wideband Cable Modems

Pinging a Wideband Cable Modem

To determine whether a wideband cable modem or any DOCSIS cable CPE device is reachable from the CMTS at the DOCSIS MAC layer, use the ping docsis command with either a MAC address or IP address. For example:

Router# ping docsis 1.11.0.5         

Queueing 5 MAC-layer station maintenance intervals, timeout is 25 msec:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)

The ping docsis command uses 1/64—the bandwidth of IP ping—and works with cable modems that have not yet acquired an IP address. This allows cable operators to ping cable modems that are unable to complete registration, that have internal bugs, or that are unresponsive due to a crash.

The ping docsis command with the verbose keyword includes a real-time view and plot of requested power adjustments, frequency, timing offset adjustments, and a measure of optimal headend reception power.

Router# ping docsis 1.11.0.5 verbose 

Queueing 5 MAC-layer station maintenance intervals, timeout is 25 msec:

Reply from 0014.bfbe.3e3c: 50 ms, tadj=0, padj=0, fadj=29
Reply from 0014.bfbe.3e3c: 50 ms, tadj=1, padj=0, fadj=29
Reply from 0014.bfbe.3e3c: 50 ms, tadj=-1, padj=0, fadj=39

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)

For more information on the ping docsis command, see the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide.

Verifying That a Wideband-Capable Cable Modem Is Registered as a Wideband Modem

To verify that a wideband-capable cable modem is registered as a wideband modem, use the show cable modem command. In the following example, the MAC address of the wideband cable modem is specified:

Router# show cable modem 0014.bfbe.3e70 

MAC Address    IP Address      I/F       MAC          Prim RxPwr  Timing Num BPI
                                         State        Sid  (dBmv) Offset CPE Enb
0014.bfbe.3e70 1.11.0.3        C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 1     0.00  1231    0   Y 

If a wideband-capable cable modem is registered as a wideband modem, the MAC State field will have one of the w-online values (wideband-online), such as w-online(pt) in the preceding example. For descriptions of the complete set of MAC state values, see the show cable modem command in the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide.

A wideband-capable modem may also register as a DOCSIS 2.0 modem (for example, if a wideband channel is not available). In this case, the MAC State field displayed by show cable modem will not have one of the w-online values.

To determine the set of wideband-capable cable modems that have registered as wideband modems on the CMTS, use the show cable modem wideband command.

Router# show cable modem wideband 

MAC Address    IP Address      I/F       MAC            Prim  BG  DSID  MD-DS-SG
                                         State          Sid   ID
0014.bfbe.3e70 1.11.0.3        C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   1     24  24    N/A
0014.bfbe.3e3c 1.11.0.4        C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   2     24  24    N/A
0016.92fb.5742 1.11.0.6        C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   3     24  256   1     
0016.92fb.580e 1.11.0.7        C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   4     24  264   1     
0014.bfbe.3eaa 1.11.0.2        C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   7     36  36    N/A
0016.92fb.57f8 1.11.0.5        C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   8     36  298   1     
0016.92fb.57f4 1.11.0.8        C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt)   9     36  306   1 

To determine the set of wideband-capable cable modems that have registered as DOCSIS 2.0 modems on the CMTS, use the show cable modem wideband command with the registered-traditional-docsis keyword.

Troubleshooting DOCSIS Timing and Control Card

This section describes troubleshooting techniques for the DOCSIS Timing and Control Card (DTCC).

Verifying Active DTCC and Status

To determine the active DTCC and its current status, use the show cable clock command.

Router# show cable clock
Number of TCC Cards in the Chassis: 1
Active TCC Card is in slot: 1 subslot: 1,(DTCC Eightbells card)
Clock reference used by the active card is DTI

Active TCC card in slot 1/1
TCC Card 1/1 DTI status:
-------------------------------------------
    Active Client port             : 2
    Active Client status           : normal
    Active Client Server status    : freerun
    Active Client frame error rate : < 2%
    Active Client CRC error count  : 0xFC
    Standby Client Signal detected : no

No card in slot 2/1

If the Cisco uBR10012 chassis has two DTCCs, this command can be used to determine which one is active. If the DTI client has established communications with a DTI server, the show cable clock command displays the current status. If the active DTCC is connected to a DTI server that is delivering a DOCSIS time stamp and frequency, the Active Client status displays as normal, if the connection to the DTI server is lost, the Active Client status displays as freerun.


Note When a DTI server is first powered on, it may stay in the warmup state until its internal oscillator has stabilized. This may take more then 15 minutes.


Verifying DTI Counters

To display the DTI counters for the clock card, use the show cable clock dti counters slot/subslot command.

Router> show cable clock dti counters 1/1
TCC Card 1/1 DTI counters:
-------------------------------------------
    Client Normal time             : 0xFFFF
    Client Holdover time           : 0x0000
    Client Phase Correction        : 0x0000
    Client Freq Correction         : 0xFBD7
    Client EFC Correction          : 0xF7AD
    Client transition count t3     : 0x00
    Client transition count t4     : 0x01
    Client transition count t6     : 0x00
    Client transition count t7     : 0x00
