Notes:
a. This error may not cause a Switch Control alarm if Error Type 769 is also
present since this error may actual ly be caused b y the loss of clock
signals and not by a Switch Control failure.
b. The 257 errors are reported to the proc essor by the Switch Control and
indicate possib le hardware problems on the Processor c ircuit pack. The
receipt of these errors causes Switc h Control maintenance to run speci fic
Switch Control tests. If there really is a problem, the Switch Control te sts
usually causes other errors to be log ged. In the rare case where no other
errors are logged b ut 257 errors are occurring at a high rate (more than 10
in the last hour), the Processor circuit p ack should be rep laced at the
customer’s convenience.
c. If the Aux Data is less than 100, the test may have b een interrupted by
LMM operations. Wait 1 minute, then test again. Retry the test a maximum
of 3 times. If the Aux Data is more than 100 or fails two out of three times
with Aux Data less than 100, the Processor circuit p ack needs to be
replaced .
d. A 769 error occurs when the Switch Co ntrol reports a loss of timing signa ls
to the processor. When this error is present, the Switch Control i s usually
not alarmed since any Switch Con trol test failures are really the result of
