CICS message for TCP/IP connection failure during startup

After an IPL, TCP/IP and CICS are started. A CICS region fails to connect TCP/IP during this startup since TCP/IP is not completely initialized. This issues message DFHSO1001 with code 0CA8 (NMI INQUIRE failed) as well as a CICS dump. From Knowledge Center, there's multiple user response routes from SVC issues and investigating the trace of the CICS dump.
This is a very long winded response and could be made more accessible if CICS displayed a message saying that TCP/IP connection failed during startup.
