SNI-BD (SNI Circuit Pack)

Table 8-580. TEST #761 Switch Node Interface Reset Test — Continued

Description / Recommendation

The reset of the SNI circuit pack was attempted via the connected DS1C circuit

pack. This ABORT code indicates that the fiber is not administered, but in this

particular case it also indicates a software problem.

1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 1 time.

Internal system error

1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 3 times.

The "reset" message was sent out successfully to the active SNC or to the

SNI's neighbor. A PASS does not necessarily mean the SNI circuit pack was

successfully reset. The reset can be verified by checking that the red and

green LEDs turn on and then turn off. If an SNI circuit pack fails one of the

firmware tests run during its reset sequence, the red LED will stay on and the

circuit pack should be replaced.

No board was detected by the test.

1. Check that board is properly translated and inserted.

2. Run the test again. If it fails, reset the board. An SNI should be reset

3. Run the test again. If it fails, the ID chip on board may be bad. Replace

instead of reseating the circuit pack. The reset board command should

almost never be used on an SNI. It may be necessary to use the reset

board command if the SNI circuit pack gets into a mode where it cannot

communicate with software. If an SNI with active errors and alarms is

reset, the errors and alarms may take a while to come back, therefore the

reset board command can mask real problems.
