Cajun A500 Diagnostics
The first step in any diagnostic procedure involving the A500 is to identify the
OC-3 ports on the A500 that have DEFINITY port networks attached.
■ Be aware that customers may use other ports on the A500 for applications
unrelated to DEFINITY (LAN traffic or multimedia applications, for
examples).
■ These other applications may manifest themselves in the output of the
troubleshooting commands you run on the A500. DEFINITY port networks
must be identified by their A500 port numbers.
FAULT Yellow Off Normal state
Port Board PWR Green Steady on Normal state. The port board is powered up.
FAULT Yellow Off Normal state
Port Board
Per Port
RX Green Off No ATM cells are being received. This is not a
normal state if the terminating port network is
supposed to be up and running.
RX Green Intermittent
blink
ATM cells are being received intermittently.
This is a typical pattern for DEFINITY if only
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) signaling connections
are present but no talk paths are up, perhaps
because no calls are in progress.
RX Green Steady on ATM cells are being received frequently
enough that the LED is lit constantly. This is a
typical pattern for DEFINITY if Constant Bit
Rate (CBR) talk paths are present.
CD Green Off Loss of carrier on the fiber. The A500 detects
only if the A500-receive (right-hand) fiber is
not working. The state of the A500-transmit
(left hand) fiber is not detected.
CD Green Steady on Normal state. There is a optical carrier
detected on the fiber from the TN230X.
RPRD Yellow Off Normal state
Power Supply AC OK Green Steady on Normal state. AC power is okay.
DC OK Green Steady on Normal state. DC power is okay.
