| Problem | Likely Cause | Top Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Incompatible JRE version | Uninstall all Java versions. Use the JRE bundled inside the OMC download folder (look for \redist\jre ). | | "Connection Refused" on port 28000 | PBX firewall or wrong subnet | Use tracert to verify IP routing. Telnet to PBX port 28000 from the OMC PC. If no response, check PBX's IP filtering under "Security." | | Console crashes during backup | Large database or antivirus | Add the OMC installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Alcatel-Lucent\OMC) to your antivirus exclusions. | | Missing trunk or user tabs | Console version mismatch | Your OMC version is older than the PBX firmware. You need the "top" - i.e., newer console. Alternatively, downgrade PBX firmware (not recommended). |
