Maintenance
This chapter explains Acme Packet 4600 System hardware maintenance procedures.
This chapter also provides hardware alarm information.
System Shutdown
Alhough several user-replaceable components of the Acme Packet 4600 are hot-
swappable, some limited Acme Packet 4600 maintenance procedures require that you
shut down the system.
Before you shut down or restart the Acme Packet 4600, ensure that there are no
active calls in progress. The command to show active calls is “show sessions.”
ACMEPACKET# show sessions
Procedures to reroute call and network traffic around the Acme Packet 4600 are
outside the scope of this guide.
You can set the Acme Packet 4600 to reject all incoming calls from your system
with the set-system-state command. When set to offline, this command lets calls in
progress continue uninterrupted, but no new calls are admitted.
After all call processing has stopped, you can power off your Acme Packet 4600.
Shutting down the system is appropriate when you are replacing a physical interface
card, power supply, or are removing the Acme Packet 4600 from the equipment rack.
