Testing expansion interface exchange, if used, for each port network
If the configuration is critical reliability, test the expansion interface exchange for each PN:
1. Type status port-network number <1-64> and press Enter.
This displays the standby expansion link. See Figure65: Sample of port network status
before expansion link is set on page 141.
2. Type set expansion-link UUCSS, where UUCSS is one of the cabinet, and port
locations of the standby expansion link, and press Enter.
3. Verify the bottom of the screen displays:
Command successfully completed
4. Type status port-network number <1-64> and press Enter.
A screen similar to Figure 66: Sample of port network status after expansion link is set on
page 142 displays.
5. Verify that the MODEs of the expansion links have changed.
6. If any problems are indicated, check the TDM cables and the inter-cabinet cables (ICC) in
the associated port network.
