3.3 Network Faults
3.3.1 Common Trouble Point for Node
A fault has occurred within a device, or card (etc) that is flagging the Common Trouble Point for that
Node around the network. Only by accessing the Node encompassing the fault (or Graphics Control
Centre), will more specific fault information be available.
3.3.2 Card Trouble for Node
This fault indicates that there are one or more faults associated with a card in the listed Network
Node. For further diagnosis of the fault, you will need to access the Node encompassing the fault.
3.3.3 Network Operating in Degraded Style 7
Style 7 networks are a continuous ring topology. If the network ring has a break or incorrectly
terminated cable pair, then the network cards see this as an open circuit and will display a „Degraded
Style-7‟ fault
3.3.4 Network Initialization Incomplete
During the network boot-up sequence, there are panel/s that have not successfully initialized. May
require a full network reboot (global warm restart which can be done remotely on some networked
systems by access the MFIP)
3.3.5 Node Missing/Failed
The node from which you are viewing the fault cannot communicate successfully to the node/s listed
3.3.6 System Pseudo Status for Node
This fault is similar to the Common Trouble Point for Node as there is a System Pseudo (or virtual
point) that is in an abnormal state on the listed Node. Accessing the Node encompassing the fault
may provide more specific information.
3.3.7 Version Mismatch
The configurations do not match between at least two nodes. This is due to different revisions of
software in the panels & is caused by not programming & downloading to the network correctly.
