SNI-BD (SNI Circuit Pack)
Issue 1 May 2002 8-1469 555-233-143
Switch Node Interface Reset Test (#761)
This test is destructive.
This test resets the SNI circuit pack via the reset board UUCSS command when
an SNI circuit pack’s location is entered. The SNI is reset via the active SNC
circuit pack in the carrier. If the SNI is connected to an IPSI-connected EPN’s EI,
the SNI is reset via its IPSI-connected EPN’s EI neighbor. If an SNI with a
non-IPSI-connected EPN’s EI or another SNI as its neighbor cannot be reset via
the active SNC (i.e., if no software communication exists between the active SNC
and the
server
), an attempt will be made to reset the SNI via its neighbor.
An SNI should be reset instead of reseating the circuit pack. The reset board
command should almost never be used on an SNI. It may be necessary to use
the reset board command if the SNI circuit pack gets into a mode where it cannot
communicate with software.
If an SNI with active errors and alarms is reset, the errors and alarms may take a
while to come back, therefore the reset board command can mask real problems.
0 NO
BOARD No board was detected by the test.
1. Check that board is properly translated and inserted.
2. Run the test again. If it fails, reset the board. An SNI should be reset
instead of reseating the circuit pack. The reset board command should
almost never be used on an SNI. It may be necessary to use the reset
board command if the SNI circuit pack gets into a mode where it cannot
communicate with software. If an SNI with active errors and alarms is
reset, the errors and alarms may take a while to come back, therefore the
reset board command can mask real problems.
3. Run the test again. If it fails, the ID chip on board may be bad. Replace
the board and retest.
