Standby SPE Time-of-Day Comparison Test
(#858)
This test, available only when handshake communication is up, compares the
SYSAM board’s Time-of-Day clock values in the two SPEs. The test passes if the
two clocks differ by less than 20 seconds. Failure of this test means that the two
clocks have drifted apart but that each clock appears to be moving forward.
Having the two TOD clocks more than 20 seconds apart can make spontaneous
SPE interchanges disruptive to the point of dropping calls. Repeated failure of
this test indicates that one or both of the two SYSAM packs will have to be
replaced.
1325 FAIL Test failed because memory shadowing is off due to its being inhibited from the
standby SPE
1. This can be a temporary condition, wait 5 minutes and run the test again.
2. If handshake is not established (use status spe to see this), deal with that
problem according to the preceding section ‘‘Resolving Handshake
Failure’’
3. Rerun the test; if the same 1325 failure recurs, look for problems with the
duplication-interface circuit packs (both SPEs) or with the standby SPE’s
packet-interface pack (look for red LEDs on these). Fix these problems
according to the service documentation for these packs.
1326 FAIL Test failed because standby memory is not refreshed.
1. Retry the test (or "status spe") after 10 minutes, to see if standby is then
refreshed.
1329 FAIL Test failed because standby SPE has
non-functional
SOH; this means that the
standby SPE is down.
1. Look for power alarms (CARR-POW) against the standby SPE carrier;
address these.
2. Otherwise, lock the standby SPE and trouble-shoot it with the SMT (as
you’d diagnose any down SPE. If you cannot revive the standby SPE or if,
upon getting it out of the SPE-down state, error 1339 persists for this test,
follow normal escalation procedures.
PASS Standby SPE is fully in service (SOH functional, memory content refreshed).
