  • Page 27: Excessive Data Errors On Calls To Aim Ports

    If the trouble is serious enough to degrade the quality of the call, the MAX unit disconnects. If handshaking is continuous for over a minute, the problem is probably not due to the quality of the line, and you should call Lucent Technologies technical support.
  • Page 28: Troubleshooting A Codec

    Administering MAX Hardware Troubleshooting a codec Troubleshooting a codec A COder/DECoder (codec) unit is a device that encodes analog data into a digital signal for transmission over a digital medium. Codecs are often used for videoconferencing. A dual-port call is one in which a codec performs inverse multiplexing on two channels in order to achieve twice the bandwidth of a single channel.
  • Page 29: The Codec Cannot Establish A Call

    Administering MAX Hardware Troubleshooting a codec some high performance codecs cannot operate at data rates of less than 384 Kbps. In such cases, adjust the number of channels of data being looped back. The codec cannot establish a call You might notice that the Port profile is set to establish calls when Data Transmit Ready (DTR) is active, but the codec cannot establish a call.
  • Page 30: Troubleshooting Cable Issues

    Administering MAX Hardware Troubleshooting cable issues While monitoring the Port Leads status menu of the AIM ports used in the call, place an outgoing call from your equipment.

  • Page 242 Diagnostic Parameters and Commands Using diagnostics-related DO commands When you execute the command, a sequence of dots appears on the screen, indicating the progress of the transfer. Each dot represents the transfer of approximately 512 bytes. Note: If the TFTP transfer is interrupted or the checksum of the uploaded file is incorrect, the new code does not load when the MAX is rebooted.

    Description: Modifies optional functionality of the MAX. To enable some options, you must obtain a set of hash codes (supplied by a Lucent Technologies representative) that will enable the functionality in your MAX. After each string is entered, the word complete appears, indicating that the MAX accepted the hash code.

    Diagnostic Parameters and Commands Using diagnostics-related DO commands See Also: WANDSess, WANOpen, WANNext WANDSess Description: Similar to WANDisplay, but WANDSess displays only incoming and outgoing packets for a specific user. WANDSess is particularly helpful for troubleshooting a MAX with several simultaneous active connections. The volume of output from commands such as WANDisplay make them not as effective for troubleshooting issues for particular users.
