From the NS3000 Error Messages manual:

6            MESSAGE      VTS MESSAGE HAS INVALID FORMAT.

             CAUSE        The VTS protocol message could not be decoded;
                          the format was not recognized.  This results
                          from incompatible versions of the software or an
                          uncorrected transmission error.

             ACTION       Verify the VT software version numbers, retry
                          the VT session.  If the problem recurs, see
                          "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

   Virtual terminal service detected an error. (CIERR 5038)
   Remote command error. (CIERR 5402)

Thanks!

John
