Operation Manual

 Date: The calendar date in which the event occurred.
 Time: The time at which the event occurred.
 Severity: The severity of the event. The BRD defines three severity levels:
o Error: These are events that affect the operation of the device. For example, an
ASI Input losing lock. An error will impact service until addressed.
o Warning: These are events that may produce visible glitches, but they do not
have a continuous service impact.
o Info: These are informational events. All configuration actions are logged with
this severity. When an error is cleared (for example, an ASI Input regains lock),
the event is logged with this severity as well.
 Subsystem: The subsystem affected by the event. This may be a port, a stream, or the
card itself.
 Event: This is a textual description of the event.
None of the BRD models have a battery-backed real-time clock, so they depend on external time
servers to synchronize to the current time. By default, the BRD will initialize its internal time-
of-day clock to January 1, 2010, GMT and synchronize with a time server if available.
For the GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone, the NTP server IP address can be entered in the Control
Tab.
The GOSTREAM BRD openGear card depends on the frame controller to obtain the current date
and time, and the frame controller depends on an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
to obtain current date and time.
In order to configure the openGear chassis frame controller for NTP, open its configuration
screen on Dashboard™, select the Network Tab, and enter the IP address of an available NTP
server:
