System Technician-Demanded Tests:
Descriptions and Error Codes
When inspecting errors in the system, always investigate errors associated with
the circuit pack and port first. Clearing these error codes first may also clear
errors generated against the endpoint. When every circuit pack and port error has
been cleared, but errors still exist against the endpoint, investigate errors in the
table below. By clearing error codes associated with the Signaling Link Status
test, for example, you may also clear errors generated from other tests in the
testing sequence.
BRI Layer 3 Query Test (#629)
This test is not used by the ASAI-ADJ MO. For information about this test, see
‘‘BRI-SET, ASAI-ADJ, BRI-DAT’’ .
Signaling Link Status Test (#626)
This test determines the current status of the signaling link. This test passes if the
link is “bound” to an endpoint and fails if the link is “not bound.”
The definition of the term “bound” for a link depends upon the type of endpoint
and may depend on the successful completion of procedures at both Layers 2 and
3 of the protocol. The definition of “bound” for ASAI type of endpoint is:
■
ASAI adjuncts and BRI endpoints not administered for MIM initialization
(point-to-point):
For endpoints of this type, the signaling link is “bound” when the link is
connected at Layer 2 (L2 established).
