All
I am referring to sas 2r14d. This state describes what needs to be done
if BREAK is received when in Idle state. Does this mean that we respond
to BREAK received in idle state only if BREAK_REPLY method of responding
is enabled and if BREAK_REPLY method of responding is disabled, we don't
respond at all (basically ignore the received BREAK and let the
transmitter of BREAK timeout)
OR
Was it supposed to mean the following:
*	We respond to BREAK with BREAK_REPLY (if BREAK_REPLY method is
enabled)
*	We respond to BREAK with BREAK (if BREAK_REPLY method is
disabled)
The question can be generalized to anywhere such text is given. How
should it be interpreted?
Text from the sas standard rev 2r14d
7.15.4.2 SL_CC0:Idle state
7.15.4.2.1 State description
If a BREAK Received message is received and the BREAK_REPLY method of
responding to received
BREAK primitive sequences is enabled (see 7.13.5), then this state shall
send a Transmit BREAK_REPLY
message to the SL transmitter.
Thanks
