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:

Ø       We respond to BREAK with BREAK_REPLY (if BREAK_REPLY method is enabled)

Ø       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.
