Error Types
This chapter describes the types of errors and failures that can occur while the Communications
Server is operating.
There are four main types of errors or failures:
• IML errors
• Exception errors
• Hardware failures
• Online errors
Indicators that tell you that one of the above conditions has occurred are some or all of the
following:
• Error log
• Status line of attached terminal
• Operator panel display
• Operator panel check light
• Printed circuit board LEDs
IML Errors (ERR ___)
Initial Machine Load (IML) occurs when the 1174 is turned on or when the IML key on the
operator panel is pressed. During IML, the Communications Server executes a series of tests
that checks the machine’s ability to operate.
An IML error message looks like this on the operator panel:
ERR XXX*
where: ERR indicates the occurrence of an IML error.
XXX is the IML state in which the error occurred.
* indicates that additional messages are available that describe the error (not always present).
IML errors and possible recovery are described in Problem Determination.
Exception Errors (XCP ___)
Exception errors are detected by a processor and occur during IML. Exception errors are
nonrecoverable and require recording the error information and then IMLing the
Communications Server to resume operation.
Exception error messages look like this on the operator panel:
XCP JSS:BB:EEE*
