CAUTION
Loss of service
This procedure directs you to manually busy a line drawer.
Removal of a line drawer from service can cause the system
to drop calls in progress. Perform this procedure only if you
need to restore out-of-service components. Unless it is
urgent, perform this procedure during periods of low traffic.
CAUTION
Transport network must know new MAC address
Work with the network administrator during this procedure.
The transport network must know the MAC address of the
new DBIC before the DBIC can support 1-Meg Modem
Service.
