If the firmware is not running correctly, atmstat hangs and nothing is returned, indicating either a problem with the firmware, a problem with the board, or a severe software failure. Call Cabletron Systems’ Technical Support for further assistance.
If the output shows zeros for all possible values, the firmware may not have been initialized. Try rebooting the system. If there is still a problem, call Cabletron Systems’ Technical Support for further assistance.
