Every time a backup test fails, an event is time/date stamped and logged as an alarm event. A
switch minor alarm and bits in the switch module status alarms indicate the backup test status of
the particular prime. These bits reflect the status of both backup 1 and 2.
Popup error messages or error returns are also generated whenever commands to learn a modem or
modems are unsuccessful. Possible errors are as follows:
MODEM_NOTPRESENT = Modem not present
MODEM_NOBACKUP = Modem not part of a backup pool
MODEM_COMMERROR = Modem communication error
Popup error messages or error returns are also generated whenever commands to test a backup’s
capability to backup primes that are part of its backup pool. Possible errors are as follows:
MODEM_NOTPRESENT = Modem not present
BACKUP_NOTPRESENT = Backup modem not present
IOCARD_NOTPRESENT = I/O card not present
MODEM_NOBACKUP = Modem not part of a backup pool
MODEM_COMMERROR = Backup modem communication error
MODEM_PARAMETER = Backup modem is unable to backup prime. The return error
in this case might be specific to the parameter in question
MODEM_CONFIGCHANGED = Modem’s configuration has changed
Popup error messages or error returns are also generated for the copy modem configuration
command. Possible errors are as follows:
MODEM_NOTPRESENT = Modem not present
IOCARD_NOTPRESENT = I/O card not present
MODEM_COMMERROR = Backup modem communication error
MODEM_PARAMETER = Backup modem is unable to backup prime. The return error,
in this case, might be specific to the parameter in question
NOTE: During backups, the switch uses the learned parameters of the primes it’s attempting to
backup. It is essential that the user learns the current configuration of the primes to guarantee user
desired operation. The learned parameters are also used in the Backup Test and Copy features.
