ASMi-450 status is indicated by the front panel indicators. Indicator functions are listed in Table 3-1.
The Ethernet LAN and interface status is indicated by the rear panel indicators. Indicator functions are listed in Table 3-2.
The ASMi-450 maintains an alarm buffer. The buffer can store one alarm event of each type, and a maximum of 100 alarms can be stored for display on the control terminal.
The ASMi-450 operator can view the contents of the alarm buffer on the front panel LCD display, and can delete the event alarms from the buffer when no longer needed. This procedure is explained in Section 3-6.
Table 5-1 presents the alarm messages displayed by the ASMi-450 in alphabetical order, and lists the actions required to correct the alarm condition (the messages displayed on the control terminal have a similar syntax).
To correct the reported problem, perform the corrective actions in the given order, until problem is corrected. If the problem cannot be corrected by carrying out the listed actions, have the ASMi-450 checked by the technical support personnel.
