VISM Card Did Not Become Active

Investigate the following possible causes for a VISM card that does not become active:

An E1 card is inserted in a slot where a T1 card was present, or a T1 card is inserted in a slot where

an E1 card was present, resulting in configuration mismatch.

The minimum number (five) of DSPs failed to download.

A front card type does not match the back card type—if the front card is T1 and the ba ck card i s E1 ,

or the front card is E1 and the back card is T1.

The VISM card MIB image version does not match the PXM disk MIB image version.
