Advanced troubleshooting

The ICB provides the following tools for technicians to troubleshoot and debug problems based on error messages:

Automatic trace back – the system prints an automatic trace back list of predefined error codes. This feature helps software designers solve errors.

Automatic E-mail notification – the system can send an E-mail notification containing a predefined list of error codes to the administrator, or other address.

Automatic card restart – ICB restarts can be performed for a predefined list of error codes. This feature enhances automatic recovery.

Note: All the actions defined above can be limited to a predefined number of occurrences, with a separate limit for each action.

Backup and restore procedures

Files can be backed up and restored from either the CLI or the

Administration BUI.

Backup

An administrator schedules the backup from the administration BUI. Table 49 shows the items to consider when scheduling an automatic backup. Some of these items also apply to an immediate backup.
