CM State*

State

On-line
Off-line

Normal.
Not functioning. For example, the card may be
off-line for 20–30 minutes when the system is
being booted. The card doesn’t think the system
knows the card is there.

.

When the card is being brought up, the CM
State normally starts off-line for 10 seconds
to 30 minutes, depending on whether the
system software is already up or not.

* Card Manager (CM) is the basic high-level software for the DTIC card.

Both the card and port status also indicate problems. Following is the status card listing:

dtic>ST CARD
––––– Channel Status – ALL –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CARD STATE:

DOWN

SEQUENCER PC:

C2

CLOCK MASTER:

Disabled

CLOCK ACTIVE:

Disabled

The card status explicitly says that the card is DOWN, although the reason is not given. The reason is
given in the trunk status. Also, the card is not actively configured as a clock master (that is, the status is
“Disabled”) by the system, a consequence of the card being down. The following gives basic information
about the fields for the status of the card.
