MAINTENANCE

Restarting the System

The system automatically warm starts after power is restored. (The system’s maintenance software may restart the system under certain self-detected error conditions. ) There are two types of restart: cold and warm.

A Cold Start and limited cold start (which takes about 4 to 5 minutes) causes the system to check all slots for valid CP types and assign default translations to all ports except auxiliary trunk ports. Current translations are not retained. This means that all calls in progress are dropped.

A Warm Start (which takes about 3 minutes) causes the system to check all slots for valid CP types but does not assign default translations. Current translations are retained, but all call status information is cleared. This means that all calls in progress are dropped.

During a Cold or Warm Start, the SAT lists the version of the firmware loaded in the CPU/Memory CP, lists all CPs in the system, by cabinet, and indicates any invalid types/versions detected. When the Cold or Warm Start is complete, the green LED on all CPs (except the CPU/Memory and Auxiliary Trunk) should be lighted and the amber LED on the Service Circuit should be flashing or steady. All red LEDs should be dark.

The system can also be restarted by entering commands at the SAT. Follow these steps to manually restart the system from the SAT:

1.Confirm that the SAT is properly connected to the CPU/Memory CP administration port.

2.If the SAT has a selectable baud rate, set it to 1200 baud.

3.Be sure that transmission parity is set to none and the parity bit is set to space (0).

4.Turn the terminal on, and press the carriage return key once or twice. On most terminals, this key is <RETURN> or <ENTER>.

5.Obtain the password from the System Administrator. Enter the password, and press <RETURN>. The main menu and the following prompt is displayed:
