Faults, Warnings, and Status Messages

4.4 Faults, Warnings, and Status Messages

This interface monitors the output contact closures from a Universal Power Supply

(UPS). Verify the output contact closure state (normally closed or normally open) of

the UPS, and set the appropriate contact definition using AdminBrowser.

• Faults are service impacting.

• Warnings indicate a possible service impact.

• Status messages are generally not service impacting.

NOTE: You can select what type of events AdminBrowser displays. Refer

to Section 3.4.2 View Preference 3-12.

Both fault and warning conditions of the Expansion Hub and attached RAUs are

reported to the Main Hub. Only faults are indicated by LEDs.
