Controller card display

[nortelfan]

I have an option 81c that currently has 3 shelves down from a lightening strike. I have powered the stack up and tried to enxp both 1, 2, and 3. I get a npr327 and the display on the Controller card simply shows a double 0 0. Normally the cards show c 0 and then flash 0 0 and back and forth until the controller card is enabled. Does anyone know what the double 0 0 represents and any suggestions to get this switch up and running would be most appreciated. I have moved another controller card from and working shelf and get the same results.

Hi,

You say that you swapped a working controller to a not working shelf and the not working controller to the working shelf.

Did the problem move to the old working controller shelf? Or did the situation stay the same... If the situation is the same your controllers should be fine..

Does the not working controller just show "00" or does it switch between "C0" and "00". If it only shows the "00" I think your superloop card is switched off (With the switch) or is fried. If it switches between "C0" and "00" it sees the superloop card but the superloop card is disabled or the controller isn't loaded yet.

Try to swap the superloop cards and see what happens.

What you also could try is:

1. DSXP x -> it could be that the controller and cards are enabled in the software (But not in hardware), so disable them first and then enable them again (ENXP x)

2. DISL x -> disable the superloop card, same as above, could be enabled in software, ENLL x to enable the loop

3. XNTT x -> do a self-test of the network card for the specified superloop

4. XPCT x -> do a self-test on Controller x

5. Check the switch on the network card and the LED it should off (The led)

6. Are the Controllers connected to the same network group? If so are you experiencing other problems on the network group??

This is what I could think of right now...

If it (doesn't) works let me know

Thanks for the help. Turns out I have fried a port on two of the controllers. They are controllers with 4 ports and I am not segmenting my speech paths so I was able to switch to port 2 on the controllers (hardware cable swap in back of shelf) and get two up. One net card is fried totally and another fried one of two ports.

I am waiting on another net card as I type. Thanks again, I don't know a better place to turn than this forum.
