Nortel BCM 400 random reboot after error condition jdieckmann 03-29-07

I have a serious issue w/ my phone system. It's a Nortel BCM 400
still running 3.5 software. About once every 3 months it does a
complete reboot, almost like a power cycle, shutting down all
services, & causing quite a lot of havoc for about 20 minutes (usually
always in the middle of the day). Today, however, I got some new
information about what might be happening, but I don't know how to
interpret it.

On the system's base phone, the message "Alarm: 44-0" showed up. In
the BCM 400's management system (under Diagnostics -> MSC -> Network
event log -> items 16 - 20 as most recent), there is a series of
several events in a row:

Alarm 044
Severity 8
Repeats 1
Time 20070329125526
Parameters 00

Event 336
Severity 5
Repeats 1
Time 20070329125539
Parameters 00

Event 325
Severity 5
Repeats 1
Time 20070329125627
Parameters 00

Event 328
Severity 5
Repeats 1
Time 20070329125527
Parameters 00

Event 323
Severity 5
Repeats 1
Time 20070329125636
Parameters 00

Can anyone explain this or know what this means?

This may or not help. Don't usually work on the BCM

Event ID: 44 Message: The long term alarm threshold has been surpassed
in DTCM %1 for
the detection of Remote Alarm Indication. The most likely cause is an
irregularity with the PSTN connections. The cable connecting the
DTCM to the network termination point or external CSU has been
disconnected, or there is a problem with the signal from the network.
User action: Check the logs and look for Events ranging from 315-336.
If this alarm
occurs more than once over a two-week period, contact your local
support group.
Alarm severity: Critical
Trap-type: Error
Logs: MSC event 319, Sev=P8, Cat=F
