Events

Position the cursor next to the Event Display caption and press the <Enter> key to display a list of events. Position the cursor next to the Clear Buffer caption and press the <Enter> key to clear the event buffer. Press the <Esc> key to return to the Main Menu.

The system will display the most recent event message first. Use the <Up Arrow> and <Down Arrow> keys to display previous and subsequent event messages. Press the <Esc> key to exit this screen and return to the Events Menu. The following paragraphs describe the fields in the events display:

<#>: This field identifies the event number. It is a sequential number in the range 0-99.

<XX>: This field identifies the event group code. The group code identifies the FastPAD component that generated the event. It can be one of the following:

<Date>: This field identifies the date the event occurred in the form: Mon dd.

<Time>: This field identifies the time the event occurred in the form: hh:mm:ss.

The following example event screen illustrates the format of the event display:

Event messages are grouped by category according to the FastPAD component (System, Link, Data Channel, or Expansion Channel) that generated the event.

$$O.S. Failure: This event message indicates an operating system scheduling error occurred.

Bad EEPROM: This event messages indicates bad EEPROM has been detected.

Bad FLASH-E: This event message indicates the system was not able to correctly erase flash memory.

Bad FLASH ID: This event message indicates bad flash memory has been detected.

Bad FLASH-W: This event message indicates the system was not able to successfully write to flash memory

Bad FlashPAK: This event message indicates the FlashPAK is defective or not configured correctly.

Failed P/S: This event message indicates a failure of the primary power supply.

FLASH Update: This event message indicates flash memory has been updated.

Good P/S: This event message can occur after a Failed P/S 1 event has been posted. It indicates the primary power supply has recovered from the failure condition.

New date/time: This event message indicates a new system date and time has been set. This can occur via the front panel, from a remote FastPAD configuration of this unit, or from the NMS.

New EEPROM: This event message indicates the contents of EEPROM has been updated.

Old date/time: This event message indicates new date/time information has been downloaded to this FastPAD.

CI off: For a V.11 interface, this event message indicates the CI signal has been turned OFF.

CI on: For a V.11 interface, this event message indicates the CI signal has been turned ON.

DCD off: This event message indicates the composite link Data Carrier Detect (DCD) control signal has been turned OFF.

DCD on: This event message indicates the composite link Data Carrier Detect (DCD) control signal has been turned ON.

Link down: This event message indicates the composite link is down.

Link up: This event message indicates the composite link is up.

Bad EEPROM: This event message indicates the system has detected bad EEPROM.

Bad Module: This event message indicates the system has detected a bad expansion card. The group portion of the message (X1-X8) indicates the channel/card that is bad. This message is only applicable to expansion channels.

The system can maintain up to 99 event messages in the event buffer. After the 99th event, new events will write over the oldest events stored in the buffer. These events are listed in the following tables.
