With one unit out of service, only drawers with the ISTb and the INSV
states are tested. Drawers with the ISTb and InSv states are tested
because the mate unit is INSV and currently in control of the drawers.
Drawers with a SysB state are not changed or tested.
Changes in table LCMINV
The BICTST is a new field in table LCMINV. The BICTST is a boolean
that indicates if a specified LCM is included in the test schedule.
Table control for table LCMINV allows you to change the MEMSIZE of a
given tuple from 64 kB to 256 kB when the LCM is INSV. If this change
occurs and the load in the LCM does not change to an XLCM load, the BRT
does not test the LCM. You must busy the LCM, reload the LCM with an
XLCM load, and RTS the LCM to include the LCM in the test schedule.
If you attempt an office-level test or manual LCM-level test on an LCM
where the load is not changed, the test is not run. The system generates a log
that indicates the LCM does not contain an XLCM load.
If you change the MEMSIZE field from 256 kB to 64 kB, the BICTST field
must be set to NO. If this field is not set to NO, a message appears which
indicates that the BICTST field is set to YES. A YES value is valid for
XLCMs. The change is rejected. If the MEMSIZE field is set to 256k, to
indicate XLCM, the user can set the BICTST field to YES or NO. An LCM
entry in table LCMINV, with the MEMSIZE field set to YES, is included in
the test schedule.
BICRELAY command
The BICRELAY command allows the user to enable, disable, reset, allow or
not allow the PM181 drawer state to change logs. This event can occur
when the system BRT tests a given LCM. Operating company personnel can
query the ON or OFF state of the BRT, or determine if the PM181
drawer-state change logs are allowed or suppressed. Operating company
personnel also can query the number of BRTs in progress, or query the next
LCM that the system BRT tests.
Note: Only the PM181 logs associated with the LCM that undergoes the
BRT are suppressed. Other PM181 logs associated with other LCMs or
XPMs are allowed.
The following paragraphs describe the BICRELAY command parameters.
ON The ON parameter allows the test to begin at the scheduled window. A
message appears which indicates that the test is ON. If the current data and
time falls in the scheduled window, the office-level test begins. If tests are
in progress when you issue this command, a message appears. This message
