Description / Recommendation

The test cannot run because the EI circuit pack does not have a fiber link

administered to it and there is not sufficient data to run the test or because EI

circuit packs on other port networks needed for this test are out of service.

1. Execute the list fiber-link command and determine whether the EI circuit

2. Follow procedures for applicable configuration:

neighbor EI circuit pack resides. If the results reveal that the board is not

recognized by software, the board is out of service because of this

condition. Perform the following steps:

a. If this test is being executed on an EI circuit pack located in the

PN, enter display errors and resolve any EXP-PN errors for the

port network where the neighbor EI circuit pack resides.

Re-execute this test.

b. If this test continues to abort with this abort code reset the DS1

CONV circuit pack (if so equipped) or the neighbor EI circuit

pack. This will not be destructive since the circuit pack cannot be

serving as the Expansion Archangel if it is not in service.
