Startup Messages - Nortel Express Call Center Troubleshooting Manual

Media Card
Debug features
While the Media Card is starting, the 8051 auxiliary processor has control of the
serial port, and uses it to provide debug information, progress of self-tests, and
so on. Once the 8051 releases the main processor (i486) from reset, the main
processor by default grants VxWorks shell access through this port. The Media
Card also supports remote access to the shell via a telnet connection.
Once the card is operational, the RS-232 port can be used to monitor cardLAN
and Time Compression Multiplexing (TCM) signaling between the card and the
Meridian 1 system.

Startup messages

When the card starts, a variety of diagnostic messages print to the serial port,
including hardware test results. These messages also include firmware version
