Cobalt Digital COMPASS 9220 Bidirectional ASI_MPTS Gateway - Manual (Page 56)

56 9220-UM V1.1
If you want to request a license key from Cobalt Digital Inc., you will need to provide the card
serial number. It can be found in the Product Tab and in the Admin License Key Tab as well.
Once you receive the key from Cobalt Digital Inc., enter it in the License Key field shown
above, and click on the Apply License Key button. If the key is accepted, you will see the
message License Key Installed OK, as illustrated above. If there are any problems, you will see
an error message in the same location. The following are the possible error messages:
•
Invalid key: missing characters : the key you entered is too short. Double-check that you
entered all the characters.
•
Invalid/Corrupted Key : the key you entered has the correct number of characters, but it is
invalid. Double check what you entered.
•
Serial number mismatch: this key is for serial xxxxxxxxxxxx : 9220 license keys are
specific to a card. You entered a valid license key, but it is intended for a different card,
whose serial number is displayed in the message. You must use this key on the correct
card.
•
This key has already been applied : License keys can only be applied once. This is a
valid key for this card, but you have already applied it, and its features are already
available.
Admin Event Log Tab
The 9220 includes an Event Log in non-volatile storage. This event log can be used for fault-
finding, and to check for error conditions. The following information is included in each 9220
event in the log:
•
Date: The calendar date in which the event occurred.
•
Time: The time at which the event occurred.
•
Severity: The severity of the event. The 9220 defines three severity levels:
o Error: These are events that affect the operation of the device. For example, an
ASI Input loosing lock or an IP Input no longer receiving packets. An error will
impact service until addressed.
o Warning: These are events that may produce visible glitches, but they do not
have a continuous service impact. Examples of warnings are automatic
redundancy switches and ARP renewal failures.
o Info: These are informational events. All configuration actions are logged with
this severity. When an error is cleared (for example, an ASI Input regains lock),
the event is logged with this severity as well.
•
Subsystem: The subsystem affected by the event. This may be a port, a stream, or the
card itself.
•
Event: This is a textual description of the event.
The 9220 does not have a battery-backed real-time clock. It depends on the frame controller to
obtain the current date and time, and the frame controller depends on an external Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server to obtain current date and time. By default, the 9220 will initialize its
