Chapter 1 Checkup on Foreground
Card Fault
1.1 Fault
Common foreground card faults:
1. Cards cant start normally, including SC, SPC, NIC, and SSN.
2. Cards cant work normally, including SSNI, TIC.
3. Electric modules and fans cant work normally.
1.2 Analysis on Fault
Aiming at different cards, the processes for analysis and handling are as follows.
1.2.1 SC cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Observe whether the yellow light is always on; if it isnt off after scores of seconds, we
cut the power and reboot after a while; if it isnt off all the same, this SC may get
hardware fault and we should make a change. If the indicator is always off, we should
also make a change. Note: Make backup on data before operations and choose the
time of fewer users for changing. Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch
controlling equipment can run normally without disturbance.
3. Use serial line for connecting computer to SC; reset SC; check the foreground printing
information through super terminal; we should fix:
(1) Whether SC version is loaded (if successful, SC can be telnet by 168.5.1.1 IP); if
not, we should check whether configuration is correct and whether theres
foreground version in /disks/version; if the configuration is incorrect, we should
reboot after re-configuration; if theres no version on foreground or version is
incorrect, we should get the version from PC by SC debugging network-port, and
then transfer it to the foreground by FTP (Bin mode).
(2) After the version is started, observe whether it connects with background DB server
(we can see the connection information between module 0 and DB server module).

If failed, make the operations: Telnet to SC; PING DB server IP after entering
user/password; if blocked, check the related cable and the port on Ethernet switch. If
successful, it means DB server is abnormal. Check whether all.out on background
DB server is started (use ps ef | grep out to check whether therere processes of
all.out and Monitor.out) and whether each parameter in Config/ss.ini is correct.
(3) After connecting with DB, observe whether SC can get data from background DB (we
can see the records of each table got by SC). If always finding require for license,
please check whether license on background DB is installed and we can run license
again; if failed again, check whether therere records in r_config; if not, we can insert
one or run sscfg020000tables.sql again; after this, we should run license again.
1.2.2 SPC cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Observe whether the yellow light is always on; if it isnt off after scores of seconds, we
cut the power and reboot after a while; if it isnt off all the same, this SC may get
hardware fault and we should make a change. If the indicator is always off, we should
also make a change. Note: Make backup on data before operations and choose the
time of fewer users for changing. Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch
controlling equipment can run normally without disturbance.
3. Use serial line for connecting computer to SPC; reset SPC; check the foreground
printing information through super terminal; we should fix:
(1) Whether SPC version is loaded (if successful, SPC can be telnet by 168.2.1.X IP; X
is slot No.); if not, we should check whether configuration is correct and whether
theres foreground version in /disks/version and whether connection with DB server
is successful (we can see the connection information between module 0 and
related module). If the configuration is incorrect, we should reboot after
re-configuration; if theres no version on foreground or version is incorrect, we
should transfer the version to SC by FTP (Bin mode). If failed, make the operations:
Telnet to SPC; PING SC 168.2.1.1 IP and DB server IP after entering
user/password; if blocked, check the related cable and the port on Ethernet switch,
and check whether SC, SSN & DB server is normal. If SC is abnormal, refer to
1.2.1; if SSN is abnormal, refer to 1.2.4. If DB server is abnormal, refer to 2.1.
(2) Observe whether SPC can get data from background DB (we can see the records of
each table got by SPC).

1.2.3 NIC cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Observe whether the yellow light is always on; if it isnt off after scores of seconds, we
cut the power and reboot after a while; if it isnt off all the same, this SC may get
hardware fault and we should make a change. If the indicator is always off, we should
also make a change. Note: Make backup on data before operations and choose the
time of fewer users for changing. Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch
controlling equipment can run normally without disturbance.
3. Use serial line for connecting computer to NIC; reset NIC; check the foreground
printing information through super terminal; we should fix:
(1) Whether NIC version is loaded (if successful, NIC can be telnet by 168.2.1.X IP; X is
slot No.); if not, we should check whether configuration is correct and whether
theres foreground version in /disks/version and whether connection with DB server
is successful (we can see the connection information between module 0 and related
module). If the configuration is incorrect, we should reboot after re-configuration; if
theres no version on foreground or version is incorrect, we should transfer the
version to SC by FTP (Bin mode). If failed, make the operations: Telnet to NICC;
PING SC 168.2.1.1 IP and DB server IP after entering user/password; if blocked,
check the related cable and the port on Ethernet switch, and check whether SC,
SSN & DB server is normal. If SC is abnormal, refer to 1.2.1; if SSN is abnormal,
refer to 1.2.4. If DB server is abnormal, refer to 2.1.
(2) Observe whether NIC can get data from background DB (we can see the records of
each table got by NIC).
1.2.4 SSN cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Re-plug SSN to check whether it gets poor contact.
3. Change SSN; if it gets recovered, that means original SSN is broken.
Note: Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch controlling equipment can run
normally without disturbance when changing.

1.2.5 SSNI cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Re-plug SSNI to check whether it gets poor contact.
Note: Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch controlling equipment can run
normally without disturbance when changing.
3. Change SSNI; if it gets recovered, that means original SSNI is broken.
1.2.6 TIC cant Start Normally
1. Check whether the cabinet power is normal.
2. Re-plug TIC to check whether it gets poor contact.
Note: Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch controlling equipment can run
normally without disturbance when changing.
3. Change TIC; if it gets recovered, that means original TIC is broken.
1.2.7 Power Module is Abnormal
1. Use multimeter to test whether the voltage of power modules entrance is normal.
2. Change power module; if it gets recovered, that means original one is broken. Note:
Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch controlling equipment can run
normally without disturbance when changing.
1.2.8 Fan is Abnormal
1. Check whether power module is normal, for the fan is powered by power module.
2. Check whether theres something wrong of electric machinery or a mechanical fault; if
yes, make a change.
Note: Wear an antistatic strap to ensure the SoftSwitch controlling equipment can run
normally without disturbance when changing.

After SS1b foreground upgrading the version, reboot and we find all cards (except SC) cant
start normally.
Analysis & Handling:
SC can start and other cards cant start; so we firstly check the loading of SSN version; after
rebooting SSN, we find it still cant start. Reload the old version of SSN by SC 100M port and
reboot, then SSN can start normally. After communicating with the back side, we know that
maybe Bttorom needs to be upgraded.
Resolvent:
Telenet by SC 100M port; change SSN version into the old one and reboot, updating
Bootrom version; then log in SSN and use command to update its Bootrom version; reload SSN
version and reboot SSN, then SSN can start normally. After startup, telnet to other cards to run
the new Bootrom version command, making it into effect; reboot the card and its normal.
Reboot the whole frame and cards are all normal. SS foreground SS upgrade is completed.
The inner Ip: sc of ss1b foreground card is 168.2.1.1/168.2.1.2 (except ssn, inner ip of
other cards is 168.2.1.x; x is the slot No.; ssn is separately as 168.4.1.16/168.6.1.17).
Telnet to the card; user name is ZXSSTelnet and password is the date (as 20081124).
Telnet to other cards by sc network-port for twice:
1. Telnet 168.2.1.1; user name: ZXSSTelnet, password: 20081124; then rlogin 168.4.1.16"
(take SSN1 as an example) ZXSSTelnet 20081124.
2. Command for updating Bootrom version: if logging in sc, enter
s_SCUpdateBootromFlash(); if logging in spc/nic/SSN, enter
s_OtherUpdateBootromFlash().
Analysis:
In this case, for SC can start and other cards cant start, we should check whether SSN is

normal; before version upgrade, we must fix whether card bootrom should be upgraded. Under
some conditions (as the span of version is much),we should upgrade the card and now onsite
personnel should comprehend the method before upgrade.

Chapter 2 Checkup on Background
Server Fault
2.1 Fault
1. Background database server cannot work normally.
2. Background O&M interface cannot be accessed.
3. System reports faults when running man-machine commands.
2.2 Analysis on Fault
2.2.1 Background Server Works Abnormally
1. Check the power supply of database server.
2. Telnet onto database server from terminals. If it cannot be connected, check whether it
is successful to Ping database server. If not, check the network wire and switchboard
port.
3. Connect database server with serial port wire via hyper terminal. Check whether the
abnormal shutdown causes the fault. If so, you need to Fsck and then reboot Solaris
system.
4. If you cannot use the user root to Telnet onto database server, modify the file of
/etc/default/login, add # before CONSOLE=/dev/console, save the file and reboot
the system.
5. If background database cannot automatically start after installing Oracle, check
whether the following configurations of file /etc/system are reasonable. the property for
Oracle installation directory and sub-directory should be corresponding Oracle group
and oracle user; S99dbora file is saved in /etc/rc2.d; in /var/opt/oracle/oratab, database
instance name is Y; files in the working directory of background database server are
completed; the property of files on background database server is executable.
Note: do not forget to back up data before operating, and try not to forcibly shut down

the server.
2.2.2 Background Operation & Maintenance Window Cannot Be Accessed
1. Open the file zxss10.lax of installation directory. Check the configuration of IP address.
If connected with inner network, it should be that of SC. If connected with outer network,
it should be O&M NIC outer address of SS control equipment.
2. If the maintenance terminal is connected with inner network, you need to check
whether the maintenance terminal can successfully Ping the IP of SC. If not, check the
network connection.
3. If the maintenance terminal is connected with outer network, you need to check
whether the maintenance terminal can successfully Ping the IP of NIC. If not, check the
network connection. If so, check the routing of SC, if it is incorrect, re-configure the
routing.
2.2.3 System Reports Man-machine Command Script Error When Running
O&M Window
1. Check whether there is DbCDInfo.INI in the working directory Config on background
database server. If not, re-upload this file.
2. Check whether DbCDInfo.INI is consistent with background & foreground version. If not,
re-upload the correct file.
2.2.4 System Reports Run Timeout When Running O&M Window
1. Check the connection between SC and background database. If abnormal, check the
network wire between SC and background database.
2. Check processes of background database.
Telnet onto background database server. Run the command ps ef|grep out to check
whether there are processes of all.out and monitor.out. If not, run ss_start. Relevant
license can be viewed after this process is started. When SC queries license to
background database, background database process will print the license number of
trunks and users. If license cannot be viewed, you need to run license script again.
Check whether there is a record in the table r_config. If not, insert a piece of record or
run the background database script sscfg020000tables.sql again. After running the

script, you need to run license script again.
3. When creating users/nodes, the data traffic is high, thus, the response time is long. You
could choose Yes, and then system reports the data is successfully created.
2.2.5 System Reports CLIS Block When Running O&M Window
1. Check whether SC HD has man-machine command script (*.ini) under the directory
/diskc. If not, re-upload this file in the mode of bin.
Check whether the rest memory of SC is too small. If so, adjust the data and reboot SC.
2. When creating users/nodes, the data traffic is high, thus, the response time is long. You
could choose Yes, and then system reports the data is successfully created.
