Note

14.4.120 SYSBOOT

•
The system reboot (SYSBOOT) alarm indicates that new software is booting on the XTC card. This is
an informational alarm. No action is required. The alarm clears when all cards finish rebooting the new
software.
The XTC reboot takes up to 30 minutes.
Note

14.4.121 TIM-P

•
The STS path trace identifier mismatch path (TIM-P) alarm occurs when the expected path trace string
does not match the received path trace string. Path Trace Mode must be set to manual or Auto for this
alarm to occur.
In manual mode at the Path Trace window, the user types the expected string into the New Expected
String field for the receiving port. This string must match the string typed into the New Transmit String
field for the sending port. If these fields do not match, the TIM-P alarm occurs. In Auto mode on the
receiving port, the card sets the expected string to the value of the received string. If the alarm occurs on
a port that has been operating with no alarms, this means the circuit path changed or someone typed and
entered a new incorrect value into the New Transmit String field. Follow the procedure below to clear
either instance.
