Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.10.3 Physical Card Reseating and Replacement

Note The reset options are enabled only in the OOS-MA,MT service state.

Note Before you reset the 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card, you should wait at least 60 seconds after the last provisioning change you made to avoid losing any changes to the database.

Step 1 Log into a node on the network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Right-click the active 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card in CTC.

Step 3 Choose Hard-Reset Card or Soft-Reset Card from the shortcut menu.

Caution Hard-resetting a 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card can cause a traffic hit. A soft reset causes a traffic hit only if a provisioning change or firmware upgrade has occurred. This can be traffic-affecting. To preserve traffic flow, perform a traffic switch in the “2.10.1 Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing” section on page 2-147as appropriate.

Note The hard-reset option is enabled only when the card is placed in the OOS-MA,MT service state.

Step 4 Click Yes in the Confirmation Dialog box.

If you performed a hard reset, the connection to the node is lost. CTC switches to network view.

Step 5 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. For LED

appearance, see the “2.9.2 Typical Card LED Activity During Reset” section on page 2-147.
