Status Monitoring and Reporting

Refer to the next section,

Status Reporting Methods

, for an overview of how

status is reported from the 8900 frames, 8900NET and 8900 media modules
in the frame.

Status Reporting Methods

The frame status reporting methods include the following:

LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media
modules,

External Frame Alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frames,

Web pages, graphics and text, and

SNMP traps, captured by NetCentral or another SNMP Manager
Application (HyperTerminal).

Note

SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been
installed and configured.

LEDs

LEDs on the 8900NET module, media modules in the frame, and on the
front of the 8900TF/TFN-V/-A and 8900-FF/FFN frames indicate status of
the frame and the installed power supplies, fans in the front covers, and
modules.

When a red FAULT LED is lit on a frame front cover, the fault will also be
reported on the 8900NET module. The LEDs on the front of the 8900NET
module can then be read to determine the following frame and module
fault conditions:

Power Supply 1 and 2 health,

Fan rotation status,

Frame over-temperature condition,

Frame Bus fault (8900NET only), and

Module health bus.

In general, LED colors used on the frame and modules indicate:

Green – normal operation, (Pass) or signal present, module locked.

Red – On continuously = fault condition, flashing = configuration error.

Yellow – On continuously = active condition (configuration mode or
communication), flashing in sequence = module locator function.
