re:  <<< Note 1252.0 by LISVAX::ANDRE >>>

The Vitalink Bridge Mgmt protocol type field is 80-80. 

The AM could also be timing out. 
	- What is the speed of the link to the remote Translan? 
	- Is it <56kb?  
	- Is it a busy link?

> COMMUNICATION WITH THE TARGET HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED

If I remember correctly, this means that a multi-part request/response
exchange was in progress, and one of the expected responses (not the first)
timed out.  I suspect you're having delay problems across the link,
especially since you indicate it's a busy line.  You probably hit a burst
of traffic that delayed the response beyond the timeout limit.  Does this
happen consistently, or just occasionaly?

1252.5Happens on .5Mb links as well SEDSWS::BAKERPaul Baker, UK Product and Technology Group - 844 3311Mon Jul 22 1991 09:3311
I've seen the same problem as .2 (ie COMMUNICATION WITH THE TARGET HAS BEEN 
INTERRUPTED) message on 0.5Mb links running only lat in the middle of the night.

When this happens while polling the Translan as part of an alarm rule, of course
the alarm rule fires when, in fact, there isn't a 'real' problem.

Hope this additional info helps...

Paul.

1252.6Help us narrow down the problem.MCDOUG::MCPHERSONi'm only 5 foot one...Mon Jul 22 1991 16:1821
Ok, I am stumped so far, but you'll need to get more detailed information to
help narrow down the problem.   Back to some basic questions:
	
- What is the "vintage" of the Translan AM that you're using?  
    $ ANALYZE/IMAGE/HEADR/OUT=TEMP.LIS SYS$LIBRARY:MCC_TRANSLAN_AM.EXE
    $ SEA TEMP.LIS DATE

- What type of Translan Bridge is it?

- What version of software is running on the Translan?

- Is this the only remote Translan you have to test against? If not please try
  it on another one and let us know the results?

- Have you tried REGISTERing any ethernet devices on the other side of
  the Translan Link (esp STATIONS and Bridges)

- Try registering the Translan as a STATION and let us know what happens.
