System busy condition

The CSP sends this alarm when the Matrix Controller is flooded with messages. The CSP will ignore all incoming calls until the alarm is cleared.

0x00

The system ignores incoming calls until the alarm is cleared. Ignoring incoming calls decreases the traffic load and eventually the alarm will clear.

Ensure that System Busy Warning messages are no longer being seen. Slowly ramp traffic back to normal levels and resume normal operation.

The CSP will send this alarm when all the resources of the particular resource type are all in use. The request to use a specific resource is placed in a queue until there is a resource of the alarmed type freed. The request is placed in a queue waiting for a resource to free unless a DSP Service Cancel (0x00BE) message is send by the host or the channel that the resource was requested on is release.

See the DSP SIMM Configure (0x00C0) message in the API Reference and the CSP Developer’s Guide: Overview for details on DSP function types.

Either wait for the resource requested to free up which is the most likely response. Send a DSP Service Cancel (0x00BE) message message. Release the channel that the resource was requested on. If you find that the CSP is reporting a large number of these alarm it maybe a good idea to re-evaluate the number of resouces per function type you have configure. You may need to increase the number of configured functions type.

It is not possible to determine for which RAN the information will be returned.

System Busy Warning

0x00

This notification indicates that the traffic volume on the CSP is approaching its capacity. This message is only a warning. It does not mean a System Busy condition will definitely occur. The System Busy Warning does not have a clearing Alarm. It continues to occur every few seconds, until the CPU utilization reduces. The System Busy Warning messages can be between 2 and 20 seconds apart, depending on system load fluctuations.

The EXS CSP CPU occupancy has exceeded the "System Busy Warning" threshold. This condition can happen due to traffic congestion or CSP configuration during high traffic or by having Debug printing enabled on a CSP card or cards..

When a System Busy Warning is generated, the Host should reduce the number of new calls until the System Busy Warning messages cease. Whenever possible, ramp call rates up slowly and evenly to prevent an initial System Busy. Do not re-configure the CSP and do not enable unnecessary diagnostics.

For more information on this alarm, refer to the CSP Developer's Overview Guide, Chapter 4 EXS API Application Development, section System Busy Warning and System Busy Alarm.

TFTP Alarm

Variable

Typically the following events result in this alarm.

1. Filename/path that is returned in BOOTP Response does not match.

2. TFTP Server is not reacheable or running.

3. TFTP Configuration File indicates a load that is not resident or incorrectly named on the TFTP Server.

4. The TFTP file has been altered from previous version.

There are four things to validate:

1. Verify that TFTP is running on the machine with the software files.

2. Verify that the TFTP Server is a reacheable ethernet address from the CSP.

3. Verify that the BOOTP response indicates the correct name and path of the tftp configuration file.

4. Verify that the tftp configuration for the all .bin files specified in the tftp configuration exist on the TFTP server and contain the correct path and filenames of the software .bin files. Assume Cantata Technical support will require information on BOOTP, TFTP, and Ethernet setups. An ethernet trace may be required. Debug access to the Matrix may also be required.

This alarm is sent when an SS7 card loses its connection to a local host.

This alarm is sent if a VDAC-ONE I/O or Multi-Function Media I/O card port that was previously in a steady LINK_UP state loses its connection. The VDAC-ONE slot and failed I/O port (0-2 for the 3 I/O ports on the Multi-Function Media I/O card) is sent in the data portion of the Alarm message. The alarm is cleared when the link returns to a steady Link-Up state.

This alarm is sent if any I/O ports lose their network connection, and will be cleared when the connection is re-established.

____________________________________________________

This alarm is generated when the CSP detects a carrier group alarm for more than the configured time period.

Either you lost a clock source or someone pulled the patch cord and broke the physical connection to the TDM (Time Division Multiplexed) network.

Request operational personel find out why the physical connection has been compromised between the CSP to the telecom network. Also look at the way the span has been configured - it must be the same on both ends. See the T1 Span Configure, E1 Span Configure or J1 Span Configure messages for different configuration parameters.

____________________________________________________

This notification occurs when the CSP detects an abnormally high number of slips. The address information represents the logical span of the span.

There might be noisy T1 signals on the line, a configuration mismatch that is, B8Zs/AMI/SF/ESF etc. for T1, HDB3, CRC-4 etc for E1 spans or a bad timing source for span syncronization.

Use the Span Status Query message (0x0084) which will return all Layer 1 parameters. See the API Reference for more details.

Also, you can check your timing source. Most of the time the CSP uses a Span from the network to Time the entire CSP chassis. If that source is not good, it may trigger slips and carrier Group Alarms (CGA) on other spans.
