Troubleshooting
The most likely error at start-up time is a problem
with the physical connection. Use Table 1 to iden-
tify any problems you encounter after installation. If
you cannot resolve the problem using the table,
refer to the “Troubleshooting” appendix in the
ATM Module User’s Guide.

No
Ensure that the port is turned on
(enabled) at both ends of the link.
You may need to reverse the Transmit

The Switch is operational, but there is
a problem with the adjacent ATM
Switch, or insufficient resources fur-
ther along the network connection.
Check the ATM Connection using the
Connection Table, as described in “Dis-
playing an ATM Connection” within
the “Managing the ATM Module”
chapter of the ATM Module User’s
Guide.
Ensure that you have completed the
“Pre-Configuration Checklist” at the
start of this guide.
Refer to the
Last LEC Failure Reason

VLAN LEC Status” section of the
“Monitoring the ATM Module” chap-
ter of the ATM Module User’s Guide.
If you still cannot resolve the problem,
refer to the “Troubleshooting” appen-
dix in the User’s Guide.
