Warning
Alarms The number of warning alarms logg ed against the Port Network that is
being displayed.
Carrier
Locs The cabinet and carrier loc ations of each carrier in the Port Network.
PNC Status Active (and Standby if PNC is d uplicated) Port Network Connec tivity
(PNC) status for the specified por t network is displayed. The PNC Status
of a port network is determined by the availability of the Expansion
Archangel Link (EAL) and Ind irect Neighbor Link (INL) to the port
network. A status of "up" denotes that the EAL and INL are both available.
A status of "down" is displayed when the EAL and INL are b oth
unavailable. When the EAL is available, but the INL is unavai lable, a
status of "near-end" is displayed. A status of "far-end" is disp layed when
the INL is available and the EAL is unavailab le. When the EAL is
unavailable (far-end), tone c lock, tdm bus, and packet bus infor mation
will be blank.
FIBER-LINK This field displays the fib er-link number associated with all fiber links
having an Expansion Interface c ircuit pack end point residing in the
specified Port Network. The fiber connectivity side will also be displayed
(i.e. "A-PNC" or "B-PNC").
Endpoints The physical position of eac h Expansion Interface board that is an
endpoint for a fiber link in the specified Port Network is di splayed as
“UUcSS.” “UU” rep resents the cabinet number, “ c” represents the
carrier, and “SS” repr esents the slot position. The simplex PNC
configuration will disp lay only one Expansion Interface p air, while the
duplex PNC configuration w ill display two Expansion Interfac e pairs
separated by a hyphen (-). If b lanks are displayed it means the endp oints
could not be retrieved by software.
Mode The mode is the current role of the link. A mode of "active" means the link
is providing normal c ircuit and cont rol functions for the Port Network. A
mode of "standby" means the link is part of a d uplicated system and is
ready to perform its functions b ut is not active. If blanks a re displayed it
means that PNC is not duplicated , or the mode could not be retrieved
from software.
TDM Bus The TDM bus identifier associated with the Port Network is d isplayed.
The TDM bus ("a" or "b") specifies which half of the TDM bus is being
displayed.
Service
State The operational state of the TDM bus. A TDM bus service sta te of "in"
means the bus is in normal operation. A TDM b us service state of "out"
means the bus has failed c ertain maintenance tests and has b een taken
out of service, or the maintenance ob ject has been dem and busied out.
Control
Channel This field shows whether the TDM bus has the control c hannel on it
(“y”/”n” ). Only one TDM bus of a TDM bus pair on each Port Network can
have the control channel on it at a g iven time. If the system does not
contain an EPN, blanks appear in this fiel d.
