Layer 2 Status Test (#647)
The Layer 2 Status Test checks the layer 2 status of the ISDN-PRI Signaling
Channel (D-channel). This test will fail if there is a hardware failure or a facility
problem, or if the primary and secondary ISDN-PRI D-channels are not
administered correctly.
The Primary and Secondary Signaling Link Hardware tests (test 636 and 639)
and the Remote Layer 3 Query test (test 637) will detect most problems caused
by hardware failures or incorrect administration. However, the Layer 3 test (test
637) cannot detect end-to-end transmission problems with the Standby
D-channel since Layer 3 messages are not sent on the standby channel.
For G3r, the SYS-LINK Maintenance Object reports Layer 2 ISDN-PRI D-channel
problems and for G3i/s/vs, the PKT-INT Maintenance Object reports Layer 2
ISDN-PRI D-channel problems (if the D-channel is connected to the Processor
Interface circuit pack). However, the PKT-INT Maintenance Object does not
monitor the Layer 2 status of the ISDN-PRI D-channel when the D-channel is
connected to the Packet Control circuit pack for the ISDN-PRI over PACCON
feature. The Layer 2 Query test is provided to detect D-Channel Layer 2 failures
and generate an associated Warning alarm independent of the hardware
configuration used for the D-channels.
4 FAIL There is a problem with the Processor Interface Link. No DS1 ISDN Trunk
(B-channel) or Wideband PRI Endpoint calls can be made until the
problem is resolved.
1. Display the Communication-Interface Links Form via the display
communication-interface command to determine which link is down
(find the one that matches the DS1 Interface circuit pack on which this
ISDN-PRI Signaling Link Port resides) and then refer to the PKT-INT
Maintenance documentation.
8 FAIL There is a problem with the DS1/UDS1 Interface circuit pack or the
ISDN-PRI Secondary Signaling channel (D-channel). No ISDN Trunk
(B-channel) or Wideband PRI Endpoint calls can be made until the
problem is resolved.
1. Refer to the DS1/UDS1 circuit pack and the ISDN-PRI Signaling
channel (ISDN-LNK/ISDN-PLK) Maintenance documentation.
PASS The basic physical connectivity of the Signaling Group’s Secondary
D-channel is intact and functional. Try this test repeatedly to ensure the link
is up and to uncover any transitory problems.
