Message:
Ring test 2 failed - test is complete
Meaning: Ring test 2 did not send a message around the ring.
The Adapter Support Interface or this adapter does not send or
receive the message correctly.
This message appears when message DFIPD230E displays
and the Ring Diagnostic starts.
Action: When ring status is Normal, run the Adapter
Diagnostics. Make sure the diagnostics indicate that the
adapter functions and the message repeats. Remove and
replace the TOPS MPX position. Follow the common
procedures. Install the replacement TOPS MPX. Begin the
test. Use the TOPS MPX power-on self test. If the known
working TOPS MPX position flags this error, a problem with the
adapter cable or the MAU is present.
