3. Circuit Pack Administration: All of the boards in the switch node carriers
must be administered.
4. Fiber-link Administration: The fibers between the TN570s and the TN573
(or TN573 to TN573) must be administered via the
add fiber-link
command. If the system is being changed from a simplex PNC
configuration to a duplicate PNC configuration, the
change fiber-link
command
can be used to administer the b-pnc fiber link endpoints on the
existing fiber links. A DS1C converter complex is added to a fiber link via
the
add fiber-link
command also.
5. PNC duplication is enabled via the
change system-parameters
duplication
command.
Clear Firmware-Counters Command
SNI firmware generates error reports autonomously. This takes place
independently of technician-demanded tests. Therefore, the
test board UUCSS
clear command will not affect the error status reported by firmware. The clear
firmware-counters command will clear all firmware-generated errors
unconditionally.
The
clear firmware-counters UUCSS
command sends a downlink message to
the SNI circuit packs, causing them to clear out their firmware error counters and
failure databases. Once the firmware failure database is cleared, the failure audit
test (#777) will pass. If problems still exist, the firmware will increment its error
counters and the failure audit test will begin failing again.
This command should not be used as a replacement for the repair procedures
associated with the hardware error log entries. This command may be useful if a
problem has been fixed and off-board alarms associated with the problem are
still active.
