Departmental Switch Model DS-16B Hardware Reference Manual
Error Messages
Error Message Formats
There are two error message formats depending on whether you are
gathering information from the front panel or via Telnet. The front
panel shows an abbreviated message and via Telnet displays the
entire error message.
In all cases, the last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up
to 32 messages are held in a buffer. If the 32 message limit is
exceeded, the messages are overwritten in a first in, first out
sequence.
Error messages are stored in volatile RAM and are lost whenever power is
removed from the switch. Access the error message log to view error
messages before removing power.
Front Panel
Message Formats
The switch’s front panel displays error messages, as shown:
The first line includes the error’s date and time. The beginning of
each second line on the front panel display starts with the module
name (Diag), error name (REGERR_UNRST), and the severity level
(1).
The possible values are:
• 1-critical
• 2-error
• 3-warning
• 4-informational
• 5-debug
If the same error occurs within the same module (for example,
DIAG-REGERR_UNRST) but on different ports, the number of occurrences
for that message is incremented in brackets (up to 999), and the error number
is not incremented (that is, this error, though it may occur 999 times, occupies
one message in the 32-message buffer.
