System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90907)

Appendix A
Using the Access Port (AP)
Configuring the Console
185
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 followed
to 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.
