System Technician-Demanded Tests:
Descriptions and Error Codes
Always investigate tests in the order presented in the table below when
inspecting errors in the system. By clearing error codes associated with the

PI

Loop Around Test

, for example, you may also clear errors generated from other
tests in the testing sequence. REMINDER: The command line entry to test the
PI-LINK MO is: test link lnk-no (s or l).
Processor Interface Loop Around Test (#182)
This test is destructive.
The Processor Interface Loop Around Test is an on-board Loop Around Test. The
test requires that the system technician issue a busyout link lnk-no command
before this test is run. This means that the DCS, AUDIX, or ISDN link, for
example, is torn down. It does not access the TDM Bus at all. When the circuit
pack is put into local loop around mode, frames are looped internally on the
circuit pack. If the test fails, the Processor Interface circuit pack reports the
failure. It is a good check of most of the working hardware on the Processor
Interface circuit pack.
1. D = Destructive; ND = Nondestructive
2. If the PI-LINK under test is BX.25 and if there is an MPDM or an MTDM as part of the link, then
the PI-LINK test sequence is expanded to include the tests on the data modul e. These tes ts are
run via the PDMODULE or TDMODULE maintenance object. Refer to the PDMODULE
TDMODULE (Data Module) Maintenance documentation for descriptions and details of these
tests.
