Signaling Link Status Test (#626)
This test determines the current status of the si gnaling link. T h is t est passes if the
link is "bound" to an endpoint and fail s if the link is "not bound."
The definition of the term "bound" for a link depen ds upon the type of end point
and may depend on the successful comp letion of procedu res at both Layers 2
and 3 of the protocol. The definit ion of "bound" for each type of endp oint is as
follows:
■BRI endpoints administered for MIM (management information
messages) initialization (multipoint):
NOTE:
An MIM is a level 3 message that conv eys management and
maintenance information between a c ommunications system and a
BRI terminal.
For endpoints of this type, the sig naling link is "bound" when the link is
connected at Layer 2 and the link has been associated with an endpoint,
[that is, the endpoint has c ompleted SPID initialization (L3 establis hed)].
■ASAI adjuncts and BRI endpoints not administered for MIM
initialization (point-to-point):
For endpoints of this type, the sig naling link is "bound" when the link is
connected at Layer 2 (L2 e stablished).
