INI Issues

[hypnotic101]

Well we are running a option 11c with 25.40b with 3 cabinets. We have one cabinet running on dark fiber at ower other location. I'm experiencing INI's once a day and somedays even more. The INI that i'm getting is

ELAN014 ELAN 0 host IP=192.168.2.211 is enabled

SRPT752 INI 0: INI completed in 21 seconds

SRPT017 OMM: IP link is UP between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT016 OMM: IP link is DOWN between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT017 OMM: IP link is UP between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT016 OMM: IP link is DOWN between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT017 OMM: IP link is UP between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT016 OMM: IP link is DOWN between cab 0 and cab 2

SRPT017 OMM: IP link is UP between cab 0 and cab 2

DSET000 DOWN LOAD 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 467858867

INI002 00000088 0000008D


I see that the cabinet Fiber is dropping and comming back but i'm just wondering what this INI means. I forget how to tell what piece of hardware it is . I'm pretty sure you have to change from Hex To Dec but i'm not to sure what 136 and 141 mean. I could be totally wrong. I have been away from nortel phonesystems for about 4 years now and i'm starting to forget some of the stuff. Any help would be great. I'm trying to determine weather its my fiber or the ssc card or even the ethernet daughterboard on the ssc. This issues just started to happen maybe a week ago.
thanks

Is this a new install or was it working before?

We have a similar issue with our CS1000, but the Sysloads were every week. Do you see collisions on your ELAN? Cuz it could be Sysloading due to broadcast storms ...
ld 137
stat elnk

 

[hypnotic101]

I will check into the elan for collisions but this has been up and running for the past year and nothing has really change on that network. Its on a dedicated dark fiber line on the 192.168.2 network and the computer network is on a 192.168.99 network. I understand that the broadcast would be going to both but I would think that this stuff would have been happing from the start instead of just starting a week or so ago

You may want to ensure you grounding has changed, check your history logs to see if the shed any clues.

It could be the SSC or software board.

Do you have any transceivers off the cabinet for symposium or anything else?

 

[hypnotic101]

I'm thinking that it may be the ssc or software daughterboard also. It may even be the ssc card in the remote cabinet. I don't have any transceivers off the cabinet for symposium either. Basically and ethernet runs from cabinet 1 ssc card with a ethernet daughterboard on it, goes to a inverter from rj-45 to fiber, and then from a fiber to ethernet inverter again at the remote site and then rj-45 back to the ethernet board on the ssc card at the remote location.

Does that INI point to any hardware faults. I thought there was a way to determine what hardware was fautly from the ini string?

 

[jamie2]

When I converted it, I came out with 2-8 and 3-2? I don't think that is right.

you can't tell what caused the INI from the history file.

You have to look at the report log from PDT to determine the cause of the INI

 

[hypnotic101]

well give me over the weekend and I will wait until it INI's again to see what follows and what preside before the INI. I have looked at the phst more then 2 times and its gone. I know that I can look it up in 117 but I want to see if it happens again and if its the exact same errors as before. I appreciate the insight so far.
thanks again

[hypnotic101]

djwht, do you mean PDT as in CTRL PDT, and then the password?

 

[janaya]

We had these same issues and we replaced the SSC card twice before pinpointing the problem to the ELAN cable on the main cabinet. It had a short in it. Once replaced, the system has yet to INI on it's own, or get those SRPT errors.

janaya, what cable are you talking about. Can you explain a little more. Are you talking about the RJ-45 ethernet cable from the ethernet daughterboard on the ssc card

 

[janaya]

There is a cable on the main cabinet. Connects in the same area as the SDI cable. That cable comes out to an Ethernet Trasceiver. It is the cable from the Transceiver to the cabinet that was bad for us. We replaced that and all was good. No more errors or INI's.

Took a litte investigation, but this should now be in the knowledge base.
