6 Maintenance Introduction
Introduction
This chapter explains Acme Packet 6100 hardware maintenance procedures
and hardware alarm information.
System Shut Down
Although several user-replaceable components of the Acme Packet 6100 are
hot-swappable, some limited Acme Packet 6100 maintenance procedures
require that you shut down the system.
Before you shut down or restart the Acme Packet 6100, ensure that there are no
active calls in progress. Procedures to reroute call and network traffic around
the Acme Packet 6100 are outside the scope of this guide.
You can set the Acme Packet 6100 to reject all incoming calls from your system
with the set-system-state command. When set to offline, this command lets calls
in progress continue uninterrupted, but no new calls are admitted.
After all call processing has stopped, you can power off your Acme Packet
6100. Shutting down the system is appropriate when you are replacing a
physical interface card, power supply, or are removing the Acme Packet 6100
from the equipment rack.
