Testing the System Port Pool
This section describes a method for isolating a bad system port when its locatio n
is not known. A pool of system ports is used to service the set of ap plication
features listed above. The system supp orts a maximum of 10 system ports. Since
each Data Line Circuit pac k provides 8 po rts and each PDATA provides 12 ports,
2 Data Line Circuit packs and one PDAT A Circuit pack are required if all 10
system ports are to be adm inistered. If a link failed due to a f aulty system port
and that port is not cur rently connected to the feature, you wil l need to test the
entire pool to isolate the bad sy stem port. Follow these steps to isolate a b ad port
or exonerate the pool of system ports.
1. Enter list data-module and record the extension for each system p ort.
Note: list data-module name option can be used to ma tch on the name of
the system ports if they are all named simil arly.
2. For each system-port enter display data-module ext to find the Data Line
(DAT-LINE) and PDATA ports administered. Each system port has a sing le
extension that applies to both the Data Line and PDATA port. For historical
reasons the PDATA is considered the associated port.
3. Check each port for alarms and errors using display alarms and display
errors.
4. Che ck f or SYS-LI NK err or or a larm s for SA P-typ e lin ks usi ng Display
alarms and errors.
5. Follow the repair procedures for any ports with errors.
Identifying Components of an Application Link
Use this procedure to loc ate the maintenance objec ts that make up a given
application link. You can then follow the rep air procedures for eac h MO. In the
steps given below all the MOs in a link are located b efore any ports are tested.
Problems with the application ad junct links are reported in two ways:
■The data appl ication experiences problems.
■Errors or alarms are logged agains t a port or extension.
