Signaling Link Status Test (#626)
This test determines the current status of the si gnaling link. T his te st passes if th e
link is ‘‘bound’’ to an endp oint and fails if the link is ‘‘not bound .’’
The definition of the term ‘‘bound’’ for a link d epends upon the ty pe of endpoint
and may depend on the successful comp letion of procedures at b oth Layers 2
and 3 of the protocol. The definit ion of ‘‘bound’’ for each typ e of endpoint 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 established )].
