Dialer Messages are messages generated by the Dialer interface.
Log Message |
Severity |
Possible cause |
Action |
Dialer 1 state is <state> |
Debug |
The Dialer interface generates a message when a change in its operational state has been detected. The default state for the Dialer interface when it is used as a backup interface for a WAN link is Standby. When the primary WAN link has failed and the backup interface mechanism is invoked, the state of the Dialer interface changes to Up. |
None required. |
Dialer 1 trigger is <on/off> |
Informational |
In a modem dial backup scenario, the event triggering the Dialer interface is a failure of the primary WAN interface for which the Dialer interface has been configured as the backup interface. When the primary WAN interface has been determined to be down, a message is sent indicating the occurrence of the triggering event for the Dialer. When the primary WAN interface is returned to an operational state, a message is generated indicating that the conditions for triggering the Dialer are no longer being met, and that the Dialer can be brought down. |
None required. |
Dialer 1 string <string_ID> <dialer_string> |
Informational |
The value of <string_ID> is equal to the ID of the string configured using the dialer string command. The value of <dialer_string> is equal to the phone number associated with the dialer string. For example, if you configured dialer string 3 to associate with the phone number 5551314, and the modem is attempting to connect using dialer string 3, the message received would be Dialer 1 string 3 5551314. |
None required. |
Dialer 1 timer expired |
Debug |
When the Dialer interface is configured with the dialer persistent re-enable command, a timer is created. This timer determines when the Dialer interface attempts to begin dialing again after a failure to connect in as many attempts as were configured in the dialer persistent max-attempts command. For example, if you configured the value of dialer persistent max-attempts as 10, and dialer persistent re-enable is configured for the Dialer interface, after the Dialer has made ten unsuccessful attempts to connect to the remote modem, the timer begins. When the timer expires, the Dialer 1 timer expired message is sent, and the Dialer begins attempting to connect to the remote modem again. |
None required. |
Dialer 1 Modem is not ready |
Warning |
This message is generated when the Dialer interface has been triggered and the operational state of the Dialer is up, but the Dialer is unable to communicate with the modem. |
