SYSTEM MESSAGES

Informational Messages

BOOT MESSAGES

The system boot is accomplished in two stages: a first stage boot and a second stage boot (FSB and SSB). If the FSB or SSB detects an error, the system’s service LED will light. The first bank of LEDs will blink in a pattern, as described in the LED Indicators chapter. Note the number of blinks in the pattern, and report it along with your problem.

In addition to LED lights, messages are automatically displayed on the locally-attached administrative console. (For messages to be displayed, this console must be connected to the system’s RS232 port and running a terminal emulation package.)

The displayed messages may be informational, in which no action is necessary, or they may identify errors. If an error message is displayed, take the appropriate corrective action as identified, or contact your distributor.

INITIALIZATION MESSAGES

The system reports a variety of messages during a successful system initialization. These messages may include: status of bridge, status of LAN ports and adapters, data link, SNMP, and TFTP information. The following are examples of typical initialization messages:

Bridge is operating in UNRESTRICTED mode

Data link up: Slot=<slot #> Port=<port #> Ces=<comm. endpoint suffix> [SNMP] SNMP initialized successfully

NORMAL OPERATION MESSAGES

The system normal operation messages may include information such as:

Call Restrictions have been disabled by user command

WAN Port is now in the <new state> state

STATUS MESSAGES

The status command displays system information in a two-line format. The first line displays initialization and current status information (which includes any errors that have been detected). The second line displays current connection information.

There are three groups of status messages: initialization, normal operation, and error messages.

Note: For point-multipoint lines, the status messages will not necessarily correspond to the current state of the data link and/or line. Messages concerning the data link and line will only be displayed if there is a problem (for example, the line is considered unusable). For point-multipoint lines, the data link is brought down when a call is terminated (normal operation). This normal operating information will not be displayed in a status message.

For point-to-point lines, status messages will more accurately reflect the status of the data link and/or line. This is because the data link remains up even though a call has been terminated.
