S YSTEM M ESSAGES
Informational Messages
B OOT M ESSAGES
The system boot is accomplished in two stages: a first stage boot and a second stage boot (FSB and
SSB). If the FSB or SSB detects an error, the system’s service LED will light. The first bank of LEDs
will blink in a pattern, as described in the
LED Indicators chapter. Note the number of blinks in the
pattern, and report it along with your problem.
In addition to LED lights, messages are automatically displayed on the locally-attached
administrative console. (For messages to be displayed, this console must be connected to the
system’s RS232 port and running a terminal emulation package.)
The displayed messages may be informational, in which no action is necessary, or they may
identify errors. If an error message is displayed, take the appropriate corrective action as identified,
or contact your distributor.
I NITIALIZATION M ESSAGES
The system reports a variety of messages during a successful system initialization. These messages
may include: status of bridge, status of LAN ports and adapters, data link, SNMP, and TFTP
information. The following are examples of typical initialization messages:
Bridge is operating in UNRESTRICTED mode
Data link up: Slot=<slot #> Port=<port #> Ces=<comm. endpoint suffix>
[SNMP] SNMP initialized successfully
N ORMAL O PERATION M ESSAGES
The system normal operation messages may include information such as:
Call Restrictions have been disabled by user command
WAN Port is now in the <new state> state
S TATUS M ESSAGES
The status command displays system information in a two-line format. The first line displays
initialization and current status information (which includes any errors that have been detected).
The second line displays current connection information.
There are three groups of status messages: initialization, normal operation, and error messages.
Note: For point-multipoint lines, the status messages will not necessarily correspond to the
current state of the data link and/or line. Messages concerning the data link and line will
only be displayed if there is a problem (for example, the line is considered unusable). For
point-multipoint lines, the data link is brought down when a call is terminated (normal
operation). This normal operating information will not be displayed in a status message.
For point-to-point lines, status messages will more accurately reflect the status of the data
link and/or line. This is because the data link remains up even though a call has been
terminated.
