The 9223 includes an Event Log in non-volatile storage. This event log can be used for fault-
finding, and to check for error conditions. The following information is included in each 9223
event in the log:
• Date: The calendar date in which the event occurred.
• Time: The time at which the event occurred.
• Severity: The severity of the event. The 9223 defines three severity levels:
o Error: These are events that affect the operation of the device. For example, an
ASI Input loosing lock or an IP Input no longer receiving packets. An error will
impact service until addressed.
o Warning: These are events that may produce visible glitches, but they do not
have a continuous service impact. Examples of warnings are automatic
redundancy switches and ARP renewal failures.
o Info: These are informational events. All configuration actions are logged with
this severity. When an error is cleared (for example, an ASI Input regains lock),
the event is logged with this severity as well.
• Subsystem: The subsystem affected by the event. This may be a port, a stream, or the
card itself.
• Event: This is a textual description of the event.
The 9223 does not have a battery-backed real-time clock. It depends on the frame controller to
obtain the current date and time, and the frame controller depends on an external Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server to obtain current date and time. By default, the 9223 will initialize its
internal time-of-day clock to January 1, 2010, GMT. If the frame controller is NTP-
synchronized, the 9223 will then accept time from it and set its time-of-day clock accordingly.
In order to configure the frame controller for NTP, open its configuration screen on
Dashboard™, select the Network Tab, and enter the IP address of an available NTP server:
