■ A slot in the A carrier is preferable for EPNs if the above conditions are
met.
Entering and Exiting Standalone Mode
When in standalone mode, the red LED on the TN771D is lit This is normal and
serves as a reminder to remove the TN771 from standalone mode.
!
CAUTION:
The TN771D in standalone must be the only TN771D in the port network. If
a TN771D is already in the port network, place that TN771D in standalone
mode. Do not insert a second TN771D. Otherwise, the system is not able to
detect the extra circuit pack and will behave unpredictably.
!
CAUTION:
If the TN771D packet bus port has reconfigured the packet bus in a Critical
Reliability system (indicated by error type 2049 against PKT-BUS), placing
the Maintenance/Test in standalone mode causes a loss of service to the
packet bus. In this case, this procedure disrupts service.
For port networks with a TN771D already installed:
1. Ensure that Alarm Origination is suppressed either at login or via
change
system-parameters maintenance
.
2. Attach the 258A 6-Port Male Amphenol Adapter to the Amphenol
connector on the back of the carrier corresponding to the TN771D’s slot.
Connect one end of a D8W 8-wire modular cable to port 1 of the 258A.
Connect the other end of the cable to a 355A EIA-232 Adapter. Plug the
EIA-232 Adapter into the terminal to be used, and turn the terminal on.
3. Reseat the TN771D circuit pack.
NOTE:
On a Critical Reliability system, this causes a MINOR OFF-BOARD
alarm to be raised against PKT-BUS. This alarm is not resolved until
the TN771D’s packet bus port (M/T-PKT) is returned to service. To
ensure that PKT-BUS alarms have been cleared, it may be
necessary to restore the TN771D to normal mode.
For port networks without a TN771D installed:
1. Attach the 258A 6-Port Male Amphenol Adapter to the Amphenol
connector on the back of the carrier corresponding to the slot into which
the TN771D is to be inserted. Connect one end of a D8W 8-wire modular
cable to port 1 of the 258A. Connect the other end of the cable to a 355A
EIA-232 Adapter. Plug the EIA-232 Adapter into the terminal to be used,
and turn the terminal on.
