ASAI-EPT
For ASAI or Avaya adjuncts, the switch queries the adjunct every two
minutes. The Layer 3 Query test is not executed for ASAI or Avaya
adjuncts through a command issued from the management terminal. While
alarmed for this error, the switch takes the associated port out-of-service
for five seconds every 15 minutes. This action attempts to stimulate
recovery actions to be taken by the adjunct.
When this error occurs for an ASAI or Avaya adjunct, the service technician
should:
1. Execute the test station extension command and perform the
2. Check the health of the adjunct by following the recommended
c. This error and associated warning alarm are logged against an ASAI
endpoint when the adjunct has asked the switch to suspend maintenance
on the ASAI endpoint. Busying out and releasing the ASAI station clears
this alarm.
d. This error occurs when the endpoint sends more messages than the switch
can handle. The switch suspends the reception of messages from the
endpoint for a short period of time. There is no repair procedure for this
error. If the condition persists, replace the endpoint.
e. This error occurs when an ASAI endpoint's associated signaling link has
too much traffic related to link establishment. This occurs if the signaling
link is alternating between assigned and established states. If this problem
persists, replace the endpoint.
f. This error occurs when the ASAI-EPT message is not transmitted because
the PKT-CTRL (Packet Control circuit pack) transmit buffers are
exhausted. Frequent or persistent occurrence of these events may
indicate a hardware problem or traffic overload on the PKT-CTRL, the
signaling link, or the ASAI adjunct. Resolve the problem by following the
repair procedures for the PKT-CTRL. If these attempts fail, re-engineering
the traffic on the PKT-CTRL, signaling link, or adjunct may be necessary.
g. The ASAI message is not transmitted because the transmit buffer for the
ASAI link is full, causing the link to be flow-controlled. Frequent or
persistent occurrence of these events may indicate a hardware problem or
traffic overload on the PKT-CTRL, the signaling link, or the ASAI adjunct.
Resolve the problem by following the repair procedures issued by the
manufacturer of the adjunct. If these attempts fail, re-engineering of the
traffic on the PKT-CTRL, signaling link, or adjunct may be necessary.
h. This version of ASAI is not supported. Check the software version that is
running on the ASAI adjunct.
i. The adjunct identification is invalid. Check the vendor ID or software
running on the ASAI adjunct.
