# DSP Card Status

The DSP Card Status dialog box provides information on the onboard or expansion DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modules in the voice network module.

## Navigation

Right-click the Voice Gateway Module, then select DSP > DSP Card Status.

The following information appears:

> Card Status (cdspCardState)

> DSP Utilization (cdspCardResourceUtilization)

> DSP Last High Water Mark (cdspCardLastHiWaterUtilization)

> Last Reset Time (cdspCardLastResetTime)

> Max. Channels per DSP (cdspCardMaxChanPerDSP)

> DSP Card Fatal Trap (cdspMIBEnableCardStatusNotification)

### Card Status (cdspCardState)

The state of the monitored DSP card.

The following table gives details:

State | Description
normal | The DSP card is in normal condition.
warning | The DSP card needs attention.
critical | The DSP card has a major alarm condition.
fatal | The DSP card is not functional. To recover the DSP card from the fatal error, the DSP subsystem resets the card. After the DSP card is reset, cdspCardResourceUtilization and cdspCardLastHiWaterUtilization are reset to zero. If the fatal error persists, replace the card.
offLine | The DSP card is under maintenance.

### DSP Utilization (cdspCardResourceUtilization)

The current DSP resource utilization of the card, in percentage.

cdspCardResourceUtilization is a ratio of the number of busy DSP resources to the total available DSP resources.

### DSP Last High Water Mark (cdspCardLastHiWaterUtilization)

The last high-water mark of DSP resource utilization. After the DSP card is reset, cdspCardLastHiWaterUtilization is reset to zero.

### Last Reset Time (cdspCardLastResetTime)

The value of sysUpTime at the last DSP card reset.

### Max. Channels per DSP (cdspCardMaxChanPerDSP)

The maximum number of channels allowed in each DSP card. Zero means that channelized DSP mode is turned off.

### DSP Card Fatal Trap (cdspMIBEnableCardStatusNotification)

Shows whether the system generates cdspMIBCardStateNotification. A cdspMIBCardStateNotification is sent when the DSP card enters into or exits the fatal state.
