3-901PKT-INT (Packet Interface)

c. Error 23 along with an associated MAJOR alarm ind icates that Packet
Interface translation data was loa ded at boot time b ut the Packet Interface
was not detected to b e physically present
1. Reboot the system. If the error persists, replace the TN798
Processor circuit pac k.
d. Error 50 indicates that the Processor is sending more downlink messages
than the Packet Interface can keep up with. This is an in-line error not
produced b y any test. When this error is reported, app lication software is
slowed down to allow the Packet Interfac e to process existing d ownlink
messages. If there is a hardware prob lem, the Packet Interface test will
normally cause other errors to be logg ed. In the rare case where there are
no other PKT-INT errors logged but error 50 occ urs more than 10 times in
the last hour, follow normal escalation p rocedures.
e. Error 100 indicates that the Processor requested a reset of Packet
Interfaces as part of a Packet Inter face recovery action.
1. If no other PKT-INT errors except Error Type 1 are present, this
means that the Packet Interface was in a fatal fault state at the time
of system initialization and it was reset successfully. No other
actions are required.
2. If PKT-INT error codes other than Error Type 1 are present, refer to
the repair procedures for tho se errors to correct the failure.
f. Error 257 indicates that maintenance has detec ted a Packet Interface fatal
failure. This error is a very serious, and when it occ urs, maintenance
software immediately escalates testing to the destructive reset test (#889).
1. If the Packet Interface circuit has a MAJOR alarm, reset the Packet
Interface (reset io-processor).
2. If the Packet Interface is not alarmed, no ac tion is required.
g. Errors 267 and 217 indicate that the numb er of Packet Interfaces detect ed
as being physic ally present exceeds numb er of Packet Interfaces
supported b y the software configuration.
h. Error 513 is a Message Handshake failure, indicating that a failure with the
message protocol b etween the System software and the Packet Interface.
1. If the Packet Interface circuit has a MAJOR alarm, reset the Packet
Interface (reset io-processor).
2. If the Packet Interface is not alarmed, no ac tion is required.
i. Error 769 indicates that there was a failure in the Maintenance L ooparound
test (Test #886). A maintenance looparound link cannot b e established or
the Packet Interface cannot send and receive data correc tly as part of the
looparound test. If the number o f errors exceeds a defined threshold, a
MAJOR alarm is raised. For more information, refer to the repair
procedures for Test #886.
