Maintenance and diagnostics overview
The maintenance and diagnostic activities discussed in this guide are
divided into two groups of activities:
troubleshooting and diagnostics (identifying the cause of system
problems and resolving them)
performing hardware maintenance
This guide is for administrators, technicians, and engineers responsible
for maintaining a CallPilot server. This guide assumes that you have
basic computing skills and are familiar with the necessary safety
procedures.
If you cannot resolve your system problems with the resources described
in this guide, you can also refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (555-7101-
501).
Note: Nortel continually updates the Troubleshooting Guide. It is
available from the Partner Information Center (PIC) at
www.nortel.com/pic.
For information about restarting, shutting down, and powering up the
CallPilot server, see the Installation and Configuration Task List (555-
7101-210). You can be asked to perform one or more of these tasks while
maintaining your server.
Your CallPilot server comes preinstalled with the Windows operating
system and CallPilot server software. If your CallPilot server no longer
functions because of a software problem, you may need to reinstall the
CallPilot software or rebuild the system.
Note: If you load the firmware on the server, both power supplies and
hard drives must be connected and the hard drives must be online. If a
failure occurs on any of these components it is not reported by the server
LEDs or by ISM.

Startup diagnostics overview
This section contains procedures for interpreting the startup diagnostics
on the 1005r server.
Types of startup diagnostics
The following types of startup diagnostics are available on the server:
basic hardware check (front panel LEDs)
Power-On Self-Test (POST) diagnostics
SCSI hard drive controller diagnostics or RAID controller
diagnostics
These diagnostics are available at initial system startup or after any
1005r server reset.
26CallPilot
June 2007Troubleshooting your CallPilot system
Basic hardware check
This section describes some basic checks that you can do when you start
up the server.
To run the startup test
1Ensure system is powered down and AC cords are disconnected.
Wait five seconds before turning on the power again.
2Apply AC power to the server by plugging in the first AC cord and
then the second AC cord. Observe the front panel display.
Figure 3: 1005r front panel.
Result: All the LEDs on the front panel illuminate for a fraction of a
second.
Note: The back panel LEDs on each power supply start blinking
green when the AC power is applied and then turn solid green after
1005r Server Maintenance and Diagnostics27
Troubleshooting your CallPilot systemStandard 1.10
a couple of seconds. When the AC power is removed from one
power supply, it’s LED turns amber. If there is a hardware problem
with the power supply or it is not functioning properly, the power
supply LED is red.
Note: Refer to “Front control panel and features” on page 18 for
details of the front panel.
3Check that all the alarm LEDs (C to F) are illuminated amber. If not,
refer to the following table for functional descriptions of fault LEDs.
Table 1: Alarm fault LEDs
LEDFunctional description
CRTA critical system fault is an error or event with a fatal system
impact. The system cannot continue to operate.
MJRA major system fault is an error or event with a discernible
impact on system operation. The system can continue to
operate but with reduced performance or features.
MNRA minor system fault is an error or event with little impact on
system operation. The system continues to operate.
PWRA power supply fault indicates that one of the power supplies
is not providing power. The MJR LED is also lit.
4Boot the system by pressing the power button on the front of the
CallPilot 1005r server.
5Observe the following server actions:
The hard drives (R and T) spin up, and the amber hard drive
activity LEDs on the front panel display (HDD0 and HDD1)
extinguish, and then flash with activity.
The DVD combo LED illuminates temporarily as the system
checks the DVD combo drive (N).
6Check the monitor for any error messages as the server counts
RAM and completes a POST.
28CallPilot
June 2007Troubleshooting your CallPilot system
For more information about POST, see “Power-On Self-Test
diagnostics” on page 30.
1005r Server Maintenance and Diagnostics29
Troubleshooting your CallPilot systemStandard 1.10
Power-On Self-Test diagnostics
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a system diagnostic program (stored
in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output)) that runs each time the 1005r server
starts. The function of the POST is to test system components and
display status messages.
To run the POST
1Power up the CallPilot server and monitor.
Result: After a few seconds, the POST begins to run.
After the memory test, various screen prompts and messages
appear. The screen prompts can be accompanied by a single beep.
2Observe the screen for any error messages and listen for POST
beep codes. When the POST is complete, the server beeps once.
If the server halts before the POST is finished, the server emits a
beep code indicating that a fatal system error requires immediate
attention. For more information, see “Interpreting POST
diagnostics” on page 30.
If the POST can display a message on the monitor, the server emits
two beeps as the message appears.
Record the message that appears on the monitor and the beep
code that you hear. This information is useful if you need assistance
from your technical support representative.
Interpreting POST diagnostics
This section provides an explanation of the POST diagnostic codes.
30CallPilot
June 2007Troubleshooting your CallPilot system
POST beep codes
If an error occurs before video initialization, the POST emits beep codes
that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
A beep code is a series of separate tones, each equal in length.
ATTENTION
If your system emits POST beep codes, record the beep
code sequence and then call Nortel technical support before
attempting to correct the problem. Ensure you have the
required system information. Some POST beep codes are
fatal and can require that you replace the server.
Table 2: POST beep codes

Monitoring multimedia hardwareStandard 1.10
Understanding fault management
Fault management is a subsystem within CallPilot that detects and
notifies you of potential or real hardware problems with the multimedia
hardware. CallPilot monitors events in the multimedia hardware and
raises an alarm when a fault occurs.
Event processing
An event is any change in system configuration or operational state. An
event is also any action taken by the system that requires user
notification such as a faulty MPB96 card switching to disabled status.
All events are reported to the fault management server. The fault
management server lets the CallPilot server listen and respond to its
clients. The interaction is called event processing and the server detects
hardware faults in the multimedia hardware.
Alarm notification
Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the same
information as events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm
Monitor instead of the Event Browser and are managed differently than
events.
When an alarm appears in the Alarm Monitor, you must investigate the
problem, isolate it, and then fix the cause of the problem. When you fix
the problem, the alarm is cleared from the Alarm Monitor.
Component dependencies
The status of some components is dependent on the operational status of
other components. If a component fails or is stopped, the dependent
components go out of service.
64CallPilot
June 2007Monitoring multimedia hardware
Note: The components in your system are based on your CallPilot server
type and switch type. Disregard dependencies for components not in
your system.

DS30XAll DS30X channels associated with the DS30X link.
Detecting hardware problems
Typically, you first become aware of a hardware problem when an alarm
is raised. All hardware faults produce an alarm (or series of alarms,
depending on the problem) in the Alarm Monitor.
Other indications of a hardware problem include the following:
user complaints
call processing difficulties, such as busy signals, static, dropped
calls, connection problems, and cross talk (hearing other
conversations)
system administrator logon difficulties
alert icons on the Maintenance screen
1005r Server Maintenance and Diagnostics65
Monitoring multimedia hardwareStandard 1.10
Alarm Monitor
Use the Alarm Monitor to investigate one or more raised alarms.
About alarms
Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the same
information as events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm
Monitor instead of the Event Browser and are managed differently than
events:
Alarms appear in the Alarm Monitor for Minor, Major, and Critical
events (not Information events). All events can be reported in the
Event Browser (depending on the filtering criteria defined in the
Event Browser).
The first time an event occurs, it generates an alarm that appears in
the Alarm Monitor. If the same event continues to occur, a new
alarm is not generated. Instead, the time and date assigned to the
original generated alarm is updated.
Alarms can be cleared from the Alarm Monitor, but the event that
generated the alarm is not cleared from the event log or the Event
Browser.
Each alarm in the Alarm Monitor has Help text that often provides a
solution to the problem. If the solution is not apparent, use the Event
Browser or the Maintenance screen to further investigate the problem.
To investigate using the Alarm Monitor

Event Browser
Use the Event Browser to investigate a series of events that occurred
around the time an alarm was raised. The event listing can help you
determine the root cause of a problem.
About events
The Event Browser displays events that are recorded in the server log.
Each event identifies the time the event occurred, the object that
generated the event, and the cause of the event.
Events are classified as Information, Minor, Major, or Critical. By
default, the Event Browser displays the latest 100 critical events.

Channel and Multimedia Monitors
The Channel Monitor shows the status of call channels. The call
channels are the connections between the server and the switch that carry
the call signals to CallPilot.
The Multimedia Monitor shows the status of multimedia channels. The
multimedia channels are the DSP ports that process the calls. They are
the voice, fax, and speech recognition channels.
Disabling call channels
If you must take the CallPilot system out of service to perform software
or hardware maintenance, Nortel recommends that you disable all call
channels first. There are two ways to disable the call channels:
Courtesy stop the channels (preferred method).
When you courtesy stop call channels, CallPilot waits until the
channels are no longer active before disabling them, instead of
suddenly terminating active calls.
Stop the channels.
When you stop channels, you suddenly disable them and terminate
all active calls.

78CallPilot
June 2007Monitoring multimedia hardware
Stop versus courtesy stop
The following two methods of taking a component out of service allow
you to choose how active calls are affected.
Courtesy stop
A courtesy stop takes the component out of service after the component
finishes processing the active calls.
If the component is currently processing a call, the call is not
dropped; the component remains active until the call is finished.
If the component is not currently in use, it is taken out of service
immediately.
Courtesy stop is the preferred method for taking a component out of
service.
Stop
A stop takes the component out of service immediately, regardless of
whether the component is currently processing calls. All active calls are
dropped. Typically, you perform a stop only when severe problems that
are affecting a large number of incoming calls occur or if your
organization determines a special need for it.
Components that you can start and stop
Only the following components can start and stop.
Note: If you want to start or stop more than one or two multimedia

CallPilot services
The Service Name pane shows the status of services from a CallPilot
perspective. The Windows Services Control Panel can show that a
service is running, but it may not be fully running or in service from a
CallPilot perspective. Refer to the Channel Monitor tab in the Systems
Monitor for the true status.
The services listed under Service Name can be either running or in full
service when CallPilot is functioning optimally. If any CallPilot services
are stopped, investigate the cause of this. Call Nortel technical support
for assistance.
Note: While you can investigate any stopped services, some services are
not critical. CallPilot can continue to handle call processing even with
some services stopped.
