3.3 Common Network Faults
3.3.1 Common Trouble Point for Node
A fault has occurred within a device, or card (etc) that is flagging the Common
Trouble Point for that Node around the network. Only by accessing the Node
encompassing the fault (or Graphics Control Centre), will more specific fault
information be available.
3.3.2 Card Trouble for Node
This fault indicates that there are one or more faults associated with a card in the
listed Network Node. For further diagnosis of the fault, you will need to access the
Node encompassing the fault.
3.3.3 Network Operating in Degraded Style 7
Style 7 networks are a continuous ring topology. If the network ring has a break or
incorrectly terminated cable pair, then the network cards see this as an open circuit
and will display a ‘Degraded Style-7’ fault
3.3.4 Network Initialization Incomplete
During the network boot-up sequence, there are panel/s that have not successfully
initialized. May require a full network reboot (global warm restart which can be done
remotely on some networked systems by access the MFIP)
3.3.5 Node Missing/Failed
The node from which you are viewing the fault cannot communicate successfully to
the node/s listed
3.3.6 System Pseudo Status for Node
This fault is similar to the Common Trouble Point for Node as there is a System
Pseudo (or virtual point) that is in an abnormal state on the listed Node. Accessing
the Node encompassing the fault may provide more specific information.
3.3.7 Version Mismatch
The configurations do not match between at least two nodes. Please Contact your
local Simplex Fire Service Provider for Assistance
