BRI Port Local LAN Looparound Test (#618)
This test is destructive.
This test checks the connec tivity of the BRI port across the LAN bus. Be cause
this test is destructive, run this test on ly if the port is out-of-service.
Failures of this test indicate either on-board faults associated with theTBRI-PT
hardware on the circuit pac k or problems with the LAN Bus, which i s used to form
connectivity between the s witch and the TBRI-PT.
If the port is in a state other than out-of-servic e, the BRI Port Local LAN
Looparound Test will abort. If the port is out-of-servic e, then the port is put into a
local looparound mod e and the following test is exec uted.
A looparound test is perfo rmed across the bus for t he D-Channel. The switch
sends data over a pac ket connection, whic h is looped bac k by the BRI port
(D-Channel) and received b ack by the switch . The test passes if the packet
connection can b e established and the transmitted data is received unaltered.
The test aborts if the bus is alarmed in the Processor Port Network (or the port
network in which that circuit pack resides) or if the Packet In terface is
out-of-service. The test fails due to either on-b oard faults associated wi th the BRI
port hardware on the circ uit pack or prob lems with the bus.
1, 2 FAIL The NPE of the tested port was found to be transmitting in error, causing
noisy and unreliable connections. Error code 1 indicates that the NPE
Crosstalk Test failed on Channel B1. Error code 2 indicates that the NPE
Crosstalk Test failed on Channel B2.
1. Replace circuit pack.
PASS The port is correctly using its allocated time slots.
1. To be sure that this is not an intermittent problem, repeat this test a
maximum of 10 times to ensure it continues to pass.
2. If complaints still exist, examine the connections and wiring.
