SYS-PRNT (System Printer)
Procedures for Restoring the System Printer Link
1. Determine the status of the System Printer Link via the status sp-link
command. Verify that the System Printer Link is not busied out for
maintenance. This is indicated by a no in the Maintenance Busy? field.
If the System Printer Link has been busied out, issue the release sp-link
command. If the link is down, proceed to Step 2.
2. Issue the display system feature command to determine the location of
the System Printer Link.
Enter the status data-module <extension> command and verify that the
data extension is in-service/idle. If the data extension is not available, refer
to the Port field. Look for errors and/or alarms on the circuit pack with
which this extension is associated. Follow repair instructions for the
appropriate MO. Continue with Step 3.
3. Verify the availability of the external SYS-PRNT output device. Make sure
that the output device is on-line and ready-for-service. Check the physical
connectivity between the Data Module and the SYS-PRNT output device.
4. Verify that there is at least one system port available. The System Printer
Link cannot be established unless there is a system port available. See
''PDATA-PT (Packet Data Line Port)'' on page 8-868
about system ports.
5. If the problem is not found in the previous steps, check the system port for
any problems. See
for a description about system port and its connectivity.
It should be noted that when restoring the System Printer link it is necessary to
execute tests on different MOs that comprise the System Printer link. It is
recommended that you busyout the System Printer link before trying to restore the
link. When the System Printer Link is busied out, every System Printer Link
maintenance action is deactivated, and interference with tests of other MOs is
prevented.
