USER’S GUIDE404 CyberSWITCHBOOT MESSAGESThe system boot is accomplished in two stages: a first stage boot and a second stage boot (FSB andSSB). If the FSB or SSB detects an error, the system’s service LED will light. The first bank of LEDswill blink in a pattern, as described in the LED Indicators chapter. Note the number of blinks in thepattern, and report it along with your problem.In addition to LED lights, messages are automatically displayed on the locally-attachedadministrative console. (For messages to be displayed, this console must be connected to thesystem’s RS232 port and running a terminal emulation package.)The displayed messages may be informational, in which no action is necessary, or they mayidentify errors. If an error message is displayed, take the appropriate corrective action as identified,or contact your distributor.I NITIALIZATION M ESSAGESThe system reports a variety of messages during a successful system initialization. These messagesmay include: status of bridge, status of LAN ports and adapters, data link, SNMP, and TFTPinformation. The following are examples of typical initialization messages:Bridge is operating in UNRESTRICTED modeData link up: Slot= #> Port= #> Ces= endpoint suffix>[SNMP] SNMP initialized successfullyNORMAL O PERATION M ESSAGESThe system normal operation messages may include information such as:Call Restrictions have been disabled by user commandWAN Port is now in the state> stateSTATUS M ESSAGESThestatus command displays system information in a two-line format. The first line displaysinitialization 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 thecurrent state of the data link and/or line. Messages concerning the data link and line willonly be displayed if there is a problem (for example, the line is considered unusable). Forpoint-multipoint lines, the data link is brought down when a call is terminated (normaloperation). 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 datalink and/or line. This is because the data link remains up even though a call has beenterminated.
