Error Detection

NOTE

This chapter describes error detection and troubleshooting of the ATM Switch.

This section describes how the ATM Switch detects errors.

When a problem occurs, it is automatically detected. Problems are automatically detected in the blocks shown below:

Switch/CPU card

Line cards

Fan unit

Power unit

When a problem occurs in ATM Switch, error information is sent from the hardware to software. The alarm management unit in the software compiles this information and registers it in an alarm management table.

If an alarm for the hardware or line interface alarm is detected, the ALARM LED on the ATM Switch will light up. If an external device is connected to the ALARM OUT connector, the device is also activated.

The error information can be verified by entering a command (DISPLAY alarm, DISPLAY line) from the MAT.

It is also possible to detect alarms with a diagnosis program.

When the power unit is redundant and one of the power units is turned off, ALARM LED will light. This is not an error. ALARM LED will turn off when both power units are turned on.
