i. Error 257 indicates that the circuit pack detected a fatal failure. This error
is a very serious and when it occurs, maintenance software immediately
escalates testing to the destructive reset test (#889).
1. If the Packet Interface circuit has a MAJOR alarm:
a. Reset the Packet Interface circuit pack using the
reset
packet-interface CS
command.
b. Refer to the repair procedures for the Packet Interface Reset
Test (#889).
2. If the Packet Interface circuit pack is not alarmed, no action is
required.
j. Errors 267 and 217 indicate that the number of Packet Interface circuit
packs detected as being physically present exceeds number of Packet
Interface circuit packs supported by the software configuration or, if the
SPEs are duplicated, that a Packet Interface circuit pack is detected as
being physically present on the standby SPE but the corresponding
Packet Interface circuit pack on the active SPE is not present.
1. If more than one Packet Interface circuit pack is inserted in the
active or standby SPE carrier, remove the extra circuit pack(s).
2. If the SPE is duplicated, visually check that the number and
location of Packet Interface circuit packs in the standby SPE carrier
match the number and location of Packet Interface circuit packs in
the active SPE carrier. If there is a mismatch, insert Packet Interface
circuit packs in the standby SPE to match the Packet Interface
circuit packs in the active SPE.
k. Error 513 is called Message Handshake failure. It indicates that a failure
with the message protocol between the SPE software and the Packet
Interface circuit pack was detected.
1. If the Packet Interface circuit has a MAJOR alarm:
a. Reset the Packet Interface circuit pack using the
reset
packet-interface CS
command.
b. Refer to the repair procedures for the
Packet Interface Reset
Test (#889)
.
2. If the Packet Interface circuit pack is not alarmed, no action is
required.
l. Error 769 indicates that there was a failure in the
Packet Looparound test
.
A maintenance looparound link cannot be established or the Packet
Interface circuit pack cannot send and receive data correctly as part of
the looparound test (Test #886). If the number of errors exceeds a defined
threshold, a Major alarm will be raised.
In a system equipped with duplicated SPEs, a failure of the Maintenance
Looparound test may have caused an SPE interchange which would result
in an alarm associated with error code 769 being reported against a
Packet Interface circuit pack that is currently on the standby SPE. If so, it
