is lit. MMS error messages break down into two groups, a general summary of each is
given below:
Error messages appear automatically at the bottom of the display or are accessed through
the Error Reporting function on the display.
Error Reporting
When an E appears on the display or an ERR indicator is lit and an error message is not
automatically displayed, use the following procedure to access the Error Reporting
function on the display:
1. Press the key.
2. Press the softkey. If more than one element has reported errors,
use the softkey. See Chapter 12, Error Messages.
When errors are reported by a master, the model number and HP-MSIB address of the
element that generated the error are displayed.
NOTE After the errors have been read they are cleared from the system
memory (except for permanent errors).
