Descriptions and Error Codes

When inspecting errors in the system and deciding which ones to address, always

investigate errors associated with the circuit pack and port first. Clearing these

error codes first may also clear errors generated against the endpoint. When

every circuit pack and port error has been cleared, and errors still exist against the

endpoint, always investigate errors in the order they are presented in the table

below. For example, by clearing error codes associated with the Signaling Link

Status test (#626), you may also clear errors generated from other tests in the

testing sequence.

Order of Investigation

Signaling Link Status test (#626)

BRI XID test (#628)

BRI Layer 3 Query (#629)

BRI Remote Loop Back (#627)

BRI Set Audits (#630)

BRI Vendor ID test (#631)

BRI Model/Vintage ID test (#632)

D = Destructive; ND = Nondestructive

a. Will execute the test port long PCSSpp command, and review the results

of the BRI Port Local LAN Loop Around test (#618) to verify the repair.

Signaling Link Status Test (#626)

This test determines the current status of the signaling link. This test passes if the

link is "bound" to an endpoint and fails if the link is "not bound."

The definition of the term "bound" for a link depends upon the type of endpoint

and may depend on the successful completion of procedures at both Layers 2 and

3 of the protocol. The definition of "bound" for each type of endpoint is as follows:

BRI endpoints administered for MIM (management information

messages) initialization (multipoint):

An MIM is a level 3 message that conveys management and

maintenance information between a communications system and a

BRI terminal.
