3
If the red LED stays on, then replace the Processor c ircuit pack.
b. The circuit pack has b een logically ad ministered but not physic ally
installed. The alarm is cleared when the circuit pact is ins talled.
c. This error indicates transient communic ations problems with this circ uit
pack. This error is not service-affec ting and no action is req uired.
d. This error indicates the circuit p ack has reported a hardware failure on the
circuit pack. The c ircuit pack should be replaced.
e. This error can be ignored, but look for other errors on this circuit pac k.
f. This error is not service-affecting and no ac tion is required.
g. This error indicates the DATA-BD portion of the Processor circuit pac k is
out-of-service. Since the Processor circ uit pack cannot b e reset via the
reset board PCSS command, the Data Channel Reset Test (#107) in the
Long Test Sequence for the DATA-CHL must be used to reset it as follows:
1. Issue the list data command to d etermine if one or more Data
Channels (DATA-CHLs) are administered.
NOTE:
A Data Channel (DATA-CHL) is identified by a "type" value of
"netcon."
2. If a Data Channel (DATA-CHL) is not administered, use the add
data-module [<ext> | next] command to administer a DATA-CHL.
3. From the form resulting from the list data command, choose a Data
Channel (DATA-CHL).
■Refer to “DATA-CHL” before issuing the test network-
control long command to determine if CDR, System Printer,
Journal Printer, and/or PMS Links are using the DATA-CHLs
and how to busyout these links p rior to running destructiv e
tests on the DATA-CHLs.
■Refer to “SW-CTL” before issuing the reset switch-control
command to determin e the consequences of running the
Switch Control Reset Test (Test #93).
4. Issue the test data-module <ext> long command using the
extension for the DATA-CHL chosen in Step 3.
If the error happens again within 15 minutes, then replace the
circuit pack.
h. This error is not service-affecting and no ac tion is required.
i. Error type 3999 Indicates that the circuit pack sent a large numb er of
control channel messages to the s witch within a short period of time. If
error type 1538 is also present, then the c ircuit pack was taken
out-of-service due to hype ractivity. If error type 1538 is not present, then
the circuit pac k has not been taken out-of-service, b ut it has generated
50% of the messages necessary to be considered hyp eractive. This may
