ASAI-PT

MO's Name (in

Where UU is the universal cabinet number (1 – 44 for EPNs); C is the carrier designation (A, B, C,

D, or E); SS is the address of the slot in the carrier where the circuit pack resides (1 – 21); and pp

is the 2-digit port number (01, 02, 03, ...).

The alarm level for ASAI adjunct ports may be administered using the set options command. The

alarm level can be set independently for on- and off-board alarms to WARNING, MINOR, or

MAJOR for every ASAI adjunct port in the system.

All alarming for an ASAI adjunct and off-board alarming for an ASAI port is disabled if the ASAI

adjunct asks the switch to suspend maintenance. When this occurs, an error and a WARNING

alarm is logged against the ASAI adjunct. Check the Hardware Error and Alarm Logs to see if the

adjunct has disabled alarming.

Unless otherwise stated, every maintenance action contained in this section

applies to ASAI-PT and ISDN-BRI ports connected to ASAI adjuncts. This port

type is administered as an ASAI-BD on the TN800 circuit pack.

The TN800 circuit pack is a PC-based platform that allows interaction of multiple

applications with an S8700 Multi-Connect system. MultiVantage software (Native

mode) supports emulation of three types of port MOs on this board. The type of

ports to be emulated are defined by the applications running on the TN800. The

TN800 can support up to 32 ports (time slots) at a time.

The TN800 connects to the switch through a single slot in the backplane, however

its width is not limited to one slot. The number of slots occupied by the TN800 is

supplied by the board during its insertion. The TN800 (Release 5 and higher) is

three slots wide. The blank (reserve) slots are to the left of the functional slot.

In non-native mode the TN800 is recognized as TN556, TN2181, TN754, or

TN746 based on the switch software and the application running on the TN800.

In non-native mode only one type of port MO runs at any time, and the port type

depends on the application running on the TN800. If the TN800 fails diagnostics

in non-native mode, the system's alarm and error logs would show a failure for the

board type the TN800 is emulating.
