Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM FRX6000, Maintenance Manual

Page: 21 / 78

Diagnostic Procedures 2-7
Action: Re-install the FRX6000 software (as described in
Appendix C ).
Checking configuration files
Meaning: Self-explanatory. The software checks to make sure
all files are valid.
Action: None.
Community Table file Read Error, System may not Boot Correctly
Meaning: There is a error in the database file COMPAR.DAT.
Action: Boot the node with a DOS diskette and delete the
file, then reboot without the DOS disk and con-
figure new SNMP Community Table records
(described in the User Guide).
Configured for Async Console: COM1 test failed/passed
Meaning: During installation, the FRX6000 software was
configured to use an async terminal for its video
interface. When the node boots, the software looks
for interrupts from the COM1 port.
Action: If the test failed, run a diagnostic utility to
determine whether there is an interrupt conflict, and
to test the COM port. (This requires a loopback con-
nector on the COM port.) If the port fails, replace
the card that contains it.
Conversion Error
Meaning: The database file specified in the message dis-
played before this one (see
Converting (FILENAME)
file ...
) was not successfully converted to the new
release of FRX6000 software.
Action: If the file is X25REC.DAT (node parameters), a new
default file will automatically be created. If an error
occurs in any other file, boot the node with a DOS
diskette and delete the file, then reboot without the
DOS disk and configure a new file (described in the
User Guide).
