out the desired Expansion Interface circuit pack WILL DISRUPT SERVICE TO
THE EPN until the circuit pack is released from the busyout state. If the circuit
pack is part of a PPN to EPN link, the EPN WILL BE WITHOUT SERVICE. If the
circuit pack is part of an EPN to EPN link CALLS BETWEEN THE TWO EPNs WILL
BE DENIED.
If the system has working duplicate EI links, and the EI circuit pack to be reset is
part of the active EI link, the system does not allow the busyout and instructs
system technician to switch EI links via the
set expansion-link PCSS
command
where PCSS is the address of either Standby Expansion Interface circuit pack on
the Standby link. After executing the EI link switch, it is possible to busyout and
then reset the original EI circuit pack.
However, if the EPN Maintenance (MAINT) circuit pack determines that the
Expansion Interface (EXP-INTF) circuit pack is cycling between sane and insane
several times within several minutes, MAINT may inhibit operation of the
EXP-INTF by holding the EI circuit pack in a reset state. This condition may result
in an unsuccessful reset of the EI circuit pack.
If the reset command returns with
EPN is unavailable
, execute the following:
1. Use the
change circuit-pack P
command, where P is the port network
number of the EPN.
2. For the EI circuit pack you wish to reset, add an entry to the Circuit Pack
form for the TN776 Expansion Interface circuit pack. Be sure to enter the
appropriate carrier and slot (that is, A01 or B02).
3. Repeat the
reset board
command.

Result Description/ Recommendation
ABORT Internal system error.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 3 times.
4 ABORT Could not reset EPN Expansion Interface circuit pack over optical fiber since
PPN Expansion Interface circuit pack on opposite end of fiber is not inserted.
1. Insert opposite EI circuit pack and perform reset again.
1015 ABORT The system does not allow this test to be run because the EI circuit pack has
not been busied out.
1. Busyout the Expansion Interface circuit pack. Repeat the reset board
PCSS command.
