Using the Access Port (AP)

Conﬁguring the Console

AP self-test detects only approximately 70 percent of the faults on the AP.

MESSAGE: SPU hardware was successfully reset. (APMSG 02)

CAUSE: This message indicates that the AP did not enter the three possible error states. It

does not mean that the AP has somehow detected that the processor has restarted or that

it was cleared, for example. The AP has no way to determine the internal state of any other

assembly in the SPU.

MESSAGE: Console terminal not set to 9600 bits per second. Console port will operate

at xxxx bits per second. (APMSG 03)

CAUSE: The AP senses the setting of the console connected to local console port using

ENQ/ACK. The console should be operating at 9600 bits per second. If it is operating at

4800, 2400, 1200, 600 or 300 bits per second, the AP senses this and operates the port at

this baud rate.

If the above message appears on the terminal screen, the AP and the terminal are both set

for the same baud rate. If the terminal is accidentally set for other than 9600, the

above-referenced procedure should be followedto reset the terminal and AP for 9600. If the

terminal is set for 9600, the AP or the terminal is defective.

MESSAGE: String was truncated to 24 characters. (APMSG 04)

CAUSE: You can enter only up to 24 displayable characters in the answer to the query on

the screen. All characters past the twenty-fourth were discarded. No action is necessary if

the resulting truncated string is acceptable as the answer to the query. If the resulting

string is not acceptable, continue command execution until you are again prompted for the

string and enter the new string.

MESSAGE: AP conﬁguration lost. Use CA and ER commands to recover. (APMSG 05)

CAUSE: If this message recurs after each reset, power on, or self-test execution, the AP is

defective.
