Table 4-2presents the event types as they appear on the Event Log File and lists the actions required to correct the event (alarm) indication. For further information, see Chapter 3.

Table 4-2. IPmux-1 Troubleshooting Chart

Fault

Probable Cause

Remedial Action

 

 

 

 

E1/T1 equipment connected to

Configuration problems

1.

Check cables and physical connectivity.

IPmux-1 is not synchronized

 

2.

Check IPmux-1 E1/T1 configuration and,

with IPmux-1/1E.

 

Physical layer problems

 

if necessary, other IPmux-1 parameters.

 

 

 

 

3.

Check E1/T1 physical connection (use

 

 

 

loopbacks).

Slips and errors in

Ethernet port in switch and

E1/T1/ISDN/FXS/FXO/E&M

IPmux-1 are not in the same rate or

equipment

duplex mode

 

Ethernet port is set to work in half

 

duplex mode (may cause extreme

 

PDV because of collisions and

 

backoffs)

 

Timing configuration is not properly

 

set (periodic buffer under/overflows

 

shown on IP channel status menu)

 

Deactivation employed by NT

 

when IPmux is TE and in loopback

 

timing mode

 

Network PDV or lost frames

1.Check E1/T1 physical connection (use loopbacks).

2.Check timing settings according to explanation in this manual.

3.Check switch and IPmux-1 port configuration (negotiation, rate, duplex mode).

4.Check PDV introduced by the network, and, if necessary, increase PDVT jitter buffer setting.

5.Check NT deactivation (ISDN BRI).

Echo in voice

High delay in voice path

1.

Check network delay and try to

 

 

 

decrease it.

 

 

2.

Try to decrease PDVT (jitter) buffer.
