The Port Network number associated with the Port Network for which
status is being displayed.
The number of major alarms logged against the Port Network that is being
displayed.
The number of minor alarms logged against the Port Network that is being
displayed.
The number of warning alarms logged against the Port Network that is
being displayed.
The cabinet and carrier locations of each carrier in the Port Network.
Active and standby (if PNC is duplicated) PNC (Port Network Connectivity)
status for the specified port network is displayed. The PNC status of a port
network is determined by the availability of the EAL (Expansion Archangel
Link) and the INL (Indirect Neighbor Link) to the port network. A status of
"up" denotes that the EAL and INL are both available. A status of "down" is
displayed when the EAL and INL are both unavailable. When the EAL is
available but the INL is unavailable, a status of "near-end" is displayed. A
status of "far-end" is displayed when the INL is available but the EAL is
unavailable. When the far-end EAL is unavailable, Tone-Clock, TDM-bus,
and packet-bus information are blank.
This field displays the fiber-link number associated with all fiber links having
an Expansion Interface circuit pack endpoint residing in the specified Port
Network. The fiber connectivity side will also be displayed (i.e., "A-PNC"
or "B-PNC").
The physical position of each Expansion Interface board that is an endpoint
for a fiber link in the specified Port Network is displayed as "UUcSS." "UU"
represents the cabinet number, "c" represents the carrier, and "SS"
represents the slot position. A high-reliability system will display only one
Expansion Interface pair, while a critical-reliability system will display two
Expansion Interface pairs separated by a hyphen (-). If blanks are
displayed, it means the endpoints could not be retrieved by software.
The mode is the current role of the link. A mode of "active" means the link
is providing normal circuit and control functions for the Port Network. A
mode of "standby" means the link is part of a duplicated system and is
ready to perform its functions but is not active. If blanks are displayed it
means that PNC is not duplicated, or the mode could not be retrieved from
software.
The TDM bus identifier associated with the Port Network is displayed. The
TDM bus ("a" or "b") specifies which half of the TDM bus is being displayed.
When Control Links are down, this field is blank.
The operational state of the TDM bus. A TDM bus service state of "in"
means the bus is in normal operation. A TDM bus service state of "out"
means the bus has failed certain maintenance tests and has been taken
out of service, or the maintenance object has been demand busied out.
When Control Links are down, this field is blank.
