RCC Standby LED States

The Standby LED on the RCC indicates that software is loaded on the card and is ready to provide a path for
data or signalling traffic from a line card to a redundant packet processing card. This LED should be on for
normal operation for both RCCs installed.
The possible states for this LED are described in the following table. If the LED is not green, use the
troubleshooting information in the table to diagnose the problem.

Testing System Alarm Outputs

The system provides the following two physical alarm mechanisms:
• System Audible Alarm: Located on the SPC/SMC, the speaker is used to provide an audible indicator
• CO Alarms Interface: Located on the SPIO, this interface provides a 10-pin connector that enables
The operation of these alarms can be tested by issuing the following command:
[local]
For a complete description of the above command, see the Exec Mode Commands chapter of the Command
Line Interface Reference.
When this command is executed, the specified alarm is activated for a period of 10 seconds. After this time,
the alarm will return to its previous condition.

Taking Corrective Action

In the event that an issue was discovered with an installed application or line card, depending on the severity,
it may be necessary to take corrective action.
Troubleshooting
This is the normal operating mode.
Verify that the Run/Fail LED is green. If so, the card is receiving power and
POST test results are positive. If it is off, the card is not receiving power.
Check the state of the Active LED. If it is green, the card is in active mode and
the RCC is actively routing traffic from a line card installed behind a packet
processing card that has failed.
Information on determining the cause of the failure can be found in Monitoring
the System.
