Super Frame Match Inquiry Test (#211)
The super frame is a means by which the SP synchronizes with the 140AY device
on the Announcement circuit p ack. If the super frame is not synch ronized, the SP
is not able to properly p rocess record/playb ack requests. Both the SP and the
hardware generate a super frame p ulse. When these two pulses are out of synch,
the SP sets a flag to indicate the mismatch. When this test is run, the state of this
flag is returned.
Clock Match Inquiry Test (#212)
This test is supported to d etermine the state of the clock g eneration circuitry on
the Announcement circuit p ack. This circuitry is used for controlling various
pieces of the hardware, like the 140AY devic e. It is also used to synchronize the
Announcement circuit p ack with the clock that is on th e backplane.

Test
Result Description/ Recommendation
2000 ABORT Response to the test request was not received within the allowable time
period. If Error Type 1538 is present in the Error Log, follow the
maintenance strategy recommended for this Error Type.
2100 ABORT Could not allocate the necessary system resources to run this test.
ABORT Internal system error.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
FAIL Test failed. Announcement playbacks should sound c orrupted.
1. Reset the circuit pack via the reset board PCSS command and then
run this test again. If the test continues to fail, replace the circuit pack
(see Warning).
2. If there are recurring alarms on this circuit pack caused b y this test
failing, replace the circuit pack even if Step 1 works (see Warning).
!WARNI NG:
Replacing the circuit pack results in loss of integrated
announcements. See ‘‘General Notes’’near the beg inning of this
Maintenance procedure.
PASS The SP can properly process record/playback req uests. User-reported
troubles on this circuit pack should be investig ated using other circuit pack
and port tests. Refer to ‘‘ANN-PT (Announcement Port)’’ Maintenance
documentation for a description of the port tests.
