I've heard of this one... usually pops out during the routines when the clock controllers switch? I've also heard there is some sort of new clock controller cable that is supposed to help this....

This is what I found on this XMI msg:

XMI0000 aaaa Message “aaaa” received from a Network Card (NT8D04). The possible
messages are:
1. PLL UNLOCK EVENT. The Network card lost synch with the system clock.
2. MSG FROM SHELF x: XPEC ERROR 0001. This error is usually self
correcting. If may indicate a double timeslot problem or invalid call teardown.
3. TN READ UNBLOCKED: CNT=x. A number of SSD messages were sent to
the PS card but not acknowledged. In order to prevent the locking of the message
path, the Network card assumed the message was received.
4. Any of the following three messages:
XNET POLLING FAILURE ON PORT x
RSIG LINK LOST ON PORT #x - REINITIALIZED
R71 DISASTER; CANNOT ALIGN TRANSCEIVERS.
These messages indicate that the Controller is not responding to the Network
card polling messages.
1. a. Ignore if message occur when clocks are switched.
b. If it occurs periodically, switch the clocks.
c. If it occurs often, replace Network card or clocks
Random XMI000 messages may be generated if excessive Electrostatic
Discharges (ESD) are allowed to enter the system. These messages may be safely ignored. Refer to General Maintenance Information (553-3001-500) for
ESD avoidance practices.
2. a If message occurs rarely, ignore it.
b. If it occurs often, replace the Controller.
3. a. If message occurs rarely, ignore it.
b. If it occurs often, replace the PS or Network card.
4. a. Check cabling between Controller and Network.
b. Replace the Controller.
c. Replace the Network.
In X11 Release 15 and 16, “FRw APx SQy TPz” is output before the text, where
“w” is the loop number. This data is not output in X11 Release 17 and later.
Messages without text indicate that the Network or Controller card have
requested software download.

We also get this occasionally. It means it is correcting some timing issues.
Nothing critical as it has done the correction for you.

You guys freaking rock! Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear it's nothing too serious.

W0nder,
Do you have access to any Nortel books? Or the MERL on CD? The MERL Library is almost a must if you dont have the books, NTP's.
