PRI operations guidePRI Interface

Primary Rate Interface (PRI) provides a digital connection from the SL-1 to other SL-1 PBXs, and to Central Offices complying to compatible signaling protocols (AXE-10, 1TR6, SwissNet, SYS-12, Numeris VN3, JapanD70, EuroISDN, NEAX-61, and Asia-Pacific).

2.0 Mb/s PRI — NT8D72AAThe 2.048 Mb/s Primary Rate Interface (PRI2) circuit pack, the NT8D72AA, provides 30 in-band channels to PRI equipment. Voice and data are transmitted over these in-band "B-channels." Call control is supported out-of-band over a "D-channel."

1.5 Mb/s PRI — QPC720The 1.5 Mb/s Primary Rate Interface (PRI) circuit pack, the QPC720B, QPC720C, provides 24 in-band B-channels to PRI equipment. This circuit pack is used only to support the 1.5/2.0 Mb/s Gateway feature, which allows a Meridian 1 node using X11 software with supplementary features to act as a gateway between 1.5 and 2.0 Mb/s PRI trunks.

1.5 Mb/s/2.0 Mb/s on System Option 11To support 1.5 Mb/s/2.0 Mb/s on system Option 11, the following packs are required:

— the SDPC1 provides functionality equivalent to the QPC720B/C, which is the 1.5 Mb/s DTI/PRI;

— the SDC2/French provides functionality equivalent to the QPC536 and QPC915, which is the 2.0 Mb/s DTI2 and French DTI, respectively;


— the SPC2 provides functionality equivalent to the NT8D72AB/BA, which is the 2.0 Mb/s PRI2;

Page 4 of 108 PRI operations guide

B-channels and D-channelsThe B-channel is the fundamental channel in PRI. It carries the actual user information to the far end, by means of digital transmission as part of the 2Mb/s digital data stream. The B-channel does not carry any signaling messages. The D-channel transmits the standard signaling protocol, carrying the call set-up and feature-activation information to the destination.

Each D-channel is physically connected to a D-channel Interface (DCHI) card, either the QPC757C or the NT6D11AB/AE/AF. The DCHI card provides the PRI link capability.

A maximum of 480 B-channels can be supported by one D-channel. This is called nB+D capability. Figure 1 shows the maximum configuration, where 16 PRIs provide 30 B-channels each, and one PRI provides 30 B-channels along with the D-channel that carries the signaling for all 16 PRIs.

With the backup D-channel configuration between two SL-1 switches, there is one primary D-channel, one backup D-channel, and 480 B-channels. See the International Primary Rate Access Product Description document (553-2901-101) for further explanation of the backup D-channel configuration.

Procedure 2PRI start-up (Part 2 of 2)




Network Call TraceNetwork Call Trace is available with X11 release 17 and later to trace a network call and to diagnose network problems. When a network call is blocked, trace data is output indicating the reason the call was blocked and the X11 software procedure responsible.

A network call can be traced by dialing a SPRE code and the NCT feature code (9912) before the network number. When this is done, call set-up and status information is output to the system terminal as the call tandems through the network. The trace information is output to all the system terminals designated in LD 17 as ADAN = TTY and USER = MTC.

NCT provides useful information such as the following:

— the route used

— the facility accessed

— the routing control imposed

— the call-blocked location

There are two Network Call Trace functions: 01 and 02. They output different information as shown in the following sections.

Enhanced Trace command outputWith X11 Release 19 and later, a time stamp is added to the call trace output. This time stamp appears on the first line of the output.

The TN or digital trunk prints out only when there has been a change to the call register. The TN or trunk is printed only once.

Sample time stamp output which will appear on the first line:

.14:00:02 12/25/1992



Configuring Network Call TraceTo configure Network Call Trace on the Meridian 1, log in to the system and do the following:

— enter NCT in response to prompt RCAP in LD 17 for each D-channel (only required when the remote end is Meridian 1 with X11 release 17)

— enter CLTA in response to prompt CLS in LD 10 or LD 11 to allow a telephone to trace calls

Tracing a callA call can be traced from any attendant console or a telephone with CLTA class of service (CLS). To trace a call dial the following:

SPRE + 9912 + xx + yyy...

where

SPRE = special function access code (defined in LD 15) 9912 = NCT feature code xx = call trace function (01, 02)

Dial tone is provided after “xx” is dialed.yyy... = digits normally dialed for the network call



Trace function 01This function provides the common information related to ESN routing. It is the recommended function. The following is the call trace data for function 01:

**** NCT xx **** <switch specific data> --- OUT --- <outgoing data> --- IN --- <incoming data> --- STATE --- <call state>

Where xx is the call trace ID for a traced call. The output data depends on the type of call and can be the following:

CAUSE xxxx—call reject cause CREF xxxx—call reference number DCH—D-channel number DGT xxxxx...—outgoing: digits outpulsed DGT xxxxx...—state: digits received (NODE=TBD), or digits dialed when the call is rejected (STAT=REJ) DN xxx—DN of ringing set ENT xx—entry in the outgoing route list FCI x—free calling area index FRL x—facility restriction level

IFC xxx—outgoing D-channel interface (LD 17 prompt IFC) D100 = Meridian DMS-100 D250 = Meridian DMS-250 ESS4 = AT&T ESS4 ESS5 = AT&T ESS5 SL1 = Meridian SL-1 S100 = Meridian SL-100 SS12 = Norwegian SYS-12 AXEA = AXE-10 (Australia) UNKN = unknown data received

LOC xxxx—call reject software location


MODE xxx—outgoing termination ALOG = analog trunk


DTI = digital trunk interface–1.5 Mb/s DTI2 = digital trunk interface–2.0 Mb/s ISL = ISDN Signaling Link PRI = Primary Rate Interface UNKN = unknown data received

NCOS xx—Network class of service NODE xxxx—type of node

ORIG = originating node TAND = intermediate node (tandem) TERM = terminating node TBD = node undetermined

RLI xxx—ESN outgoing route list index RLS xx xx—software release, issue number of node switch RTE xxx—incoming or outgoing route number SID xxxx—system identification (LD 17) STAT xxxx—call state, where xxxx can be

ANS = call answered BUSY = termination busy DIAL = call state is dialing (mainpm) ERR = error detected in this message OPULSE = digit outpulsing PROC = call proceeding through this node (tandem) REJ = call rejected or blocked REOR = call state is dialing (mainpm) RING = call ringing SEIZ = trunk seized

STYP xx—terminating station type 500 = single line telephone (LD 10) BCS = multi-line telephone (LD 11) ATT = attendant console (LD 12)

TKTP TIE,COT,WAT...—incoming or outgoing trunk type TKTN loop ch, l s c u—incoming or outgoing B-channel, ISL trunk TN TN l s c uTN of originating telephoneTOD x—time of day schedule TYP I,E —Initial/Extended set XLT NPA,NXX,LOC...—ESN translation type



Example 1: Successful call with trace function 01In this example, the following digits are dialed from a telephone at TN 0 0 5 1.

1+9912++01+78+6000

where,

1 = SPRE (defined in LD 15) 9912 = NCT feature code 01 = call trace function 01 78 = PRI route access code (ACOD) 6000 = remote extension

The resulting trace information is output on the maintenance terminal:

**** NCT # 22 **** NODE ORIG (SL1) SID 0 RLS 17 53 --- OUT --- TNS 0 0 5 1 DCH 5 IFC SL1 CREF 22 MODE PRI RTE 24 TKTP TIE TKTN 18 22 DGT 6000 --- STATE --- STAT PROC **** NCT # 22 **** NODE ORIG (SL1) SID 0 RLS 17 53



--- OUT --- DCH 5 RTE 24 TKTP TIE TKTN 18 22 DGT 6000 --- STATE --- STYP BCS DN 6000 STAT RING



Example 2: Unsuccessful call with trace function 01In this example, the same call is made as in example 1, but in this case the D-channel is down.

The resulting trace information is output on the maintenance terminal:

**** NCT # 22 **** NODE ORIG (SL1) SID 0 RLS 17 53 --- OUT --- TNS 0 0 5 1 MODE UNKN --- STATE --- DGT 786000 STAT REJ LOC 99



Trace function 02Call trace function 02 provides the information from the active (main) call register, the incoming call state, and the outgoing call state (if any). Trace function 02 is intended as a debugging tool for system designers.

The information output by function 02 includes the following:

NODE ORIG,TAND,TERM,TBD SID xxxx—system identifier RLS xx xx—release of software, issue number of node TNS l s c u—TN of the originating set CREF xxxx—call reference number

Incoming call:

ISTATPM x—incoming state progress mark ITRKPM x—incoming trunk progress mark LOC xxxx—call reject software location

Outgoing call:

OSTATPM x—outgoing state progress mark OTRKPM x—outgoing trunk progress mark LOC xxxx—call reject software location

Main call register:

Word 0—MainPM/AuxPM Word 1—CRlink Word 2—Queue_In Word 3,4—Son_Types/Processes Word 5—Aux_CRlink Word 6—OrigType/TerType Word 7—TTR_TN Word 8—OrigTN Word 9—TerTN Word 10—CallFwdTN Word 11—DISA_Call/XFER_indication Word 12,13—CR_Dialed_DN Word 14—Digitload/Digitunload


Word 15-20—digits


Feature requirementsNetwork Call Trace is limited to basic ISDN PRI/ISL calls across Meridian 1 private networks.

NCT collects information only during initial call setup. It does not report on further call modification, such as Call Transfer.

Network call information is lost and the call trace ceases when any of the Meridian 1 nodes in which the call is being traced is initialized or any of the D-channels fails.

Although NCT requires PRI or ISL, calls can be traced to nodes that do not support Network Call Trace. Calls can also be traced to DTI or analog trunks. However, only the local node information is provided. These are the trunk types that are not supported: ADM, AWU, DIC, MDM, MUS, PAG, RAN, RLM, and RLR.

Call trace information is still output if the call is blocked before the trunk is seized. If queuing (Ring Again, CBQ or OHQ) is available, then the original call trace function is activated when the call is offered to the user.

When a remote Meridian 1 without NCT capability receives a Call Trace message, no call trace information is returned.

PRA fault clearingPRI local alarm

A PRI local alarm can indicate:

— 2Mb/s digital transmission problems

— a PRI card fault

Under any of these alarm conditions, all 30 B-channels are taken out of service, and:

1 The PRI local alarm faceplate LED is lit.

2 Calls on the PRI are disconnected automatically.

3 All 30 channels are disabled.

4 After a pause of 2.5 seconds, the PRI sends a remote-alarm indication to the far end switch.

5 The appropriate DTA message is printed and a minor alarm is raised on all attendant consoles within the same customer group.

SL-1 software checks every 0-15 minutes (programmable) to see if a clock-controller or reference-clock error has occurred.

If the 0-15 minute check finds the PRI in local alarm was a primary clock source, the software switches the clock controller to the secondary reference.


Page 34 of 108 PRA fault clearing

Channel restorationWhen the alarm condition improves, the PRI is restored to service as follows:

1 The local alarm is cleared.

2 After 11 seconds, the PRI stops sending a remote alarm indication to the far end.

3 The D-channel automatically attempts to re-establish. If this is successful, the B-channels are placed into the idle state and made available for calls.

PRI remote alarmA remote alarm on the SL-1 indicates the far end is out of service. The fact that the PRI is receiving the remote-alarm pattern indicates that there is transmission integrity, but the far end is not ready.

When the PRI receives the remote-alarm signal from the far end, all 30 channels are disabled.

Channel restorationWhen the PRI stops receiving the remote alarm, the channels are placed into the idle state.

Symptom Action

No connection to far end.

(If the 2Mb/s transmission cable is not physically connected to the far end, frame-alignment errors occur. The channels will be disabled, but the PRI will be in local-alarm mode. )

Use the Error Counter to verify the 2Mb/s digital transmission directly from the PRI faceplate (RCV and XMT) to each connection (cross-connect, repeater, and other such equipment).

PRI fails self-test. Replace the PRI card.

Far-end problems, usually indicated by a Do a PRA status check and contact personnel

Page 36 of 108 PRA fault clearing

PRI is connected but getting bit-rate or frame errors.

This can be caused by:

— a bad 2Mb/s transmission cable connection

— electrical or electromagnetic interference

— carrier problems (for example, defective repeater)

Use the Error Counter to verify the 2Mb/s digital transmission from the PRI faceplate (RCV and XMT) to each connection (cross-connect, repeater, and other such equipment).

Configuration settings do not match the far end.

These problems can occur during initial start-up. They may be indicated by:

— DTA 018 Frame-slip out-of-service limit

— DTA 021 Loss-of-frame-alignment for 3seconds

— DCH 1003 D-channel MDL errors

See that the SL-1 PRI parameters correlate to the far-end parameters.

Cannot enable the PRI. Two reasons follow:

The far end PRI is disabled, indicated by:

— PRI 000 PRI is responding

— DTA 005 remote alarm occurred

— DCH 1010 DCHI is software disabled

Or, there is no 2Mb/s connection, indicated by:

— PRI 000 PRI is responding

— DTA 021 loss of frame alignment for 3

— seconds

— DCH 1010 DCHI is software disabled

Contact personnel at the far-end site to resolve the problem.

See above, under No connection to far end.

SL-1 initializes and there are no active B-channels.

When a PRI or ISL trunk interfaces with another SL-1 and the SL-1 initializes, you may have to disable and then re-enable each B-channel.

Command Description



PRI test commandsSee Table 8 for a list of the PRI test commands and a corresponding description of these commands. The PRI test commands are in Overlay 60.

PRI testsPRI self-test

The self-test checks speech-path continuity, zero-code suppression, and remote-alarm detection. This test is performed manually on a per-channel or

Table 8PRI test commands in Overlay

Command Description

ATLP (0) 1 Automatic loop test enable (= 1) or disable (= 0) default.

1 = Loop test enable; this will cause far end to raise and clear remote alarm.

0 = Run the partial loop test; there is no interaction for the far-end loop (default value).

SLFT L Invokes PRI self-test on loop L. The loop must be disabled because the test disrupts call processing.

SLFT L CH Invokes partial PRI hardware self-test using channel CH of loop L.

RLBK L Closes the loop at the carrier interface point of the PRI so the far end can perform an external loop-back test. PRI loop L must be disabled because the test disrupts call processing.

DLBK L Disables the remote loop-back test per RLBK L. The loop remains disabled.

DLBK L CH Disables the remote loop-back test per RLBK L CH. The channel remains disabled.

RLBK L CH Per RLBK L, but performed on channel CH. This channel must be disabled prior to issuing the request.

RMST L Performs self-test on loop L, providing the far end is in the remote loop-back mode.

RMST L CH Performs self-test on channel CH, providing the far end is in the remote loop-back mode.


a per-frame basis.


The DCHI and PRI must be disabled before performing the self-test or call processing will be disrupted. To perform the self-test on a specific loop, follow Procedure 6.

PRI automatic loop testThe automatic loop test checks the same functions as the self-test. Unlike the self-test, it can be run automatically, as part of the midnight routines.

With the ATLP command set to one:

With the ATLP command set to zero, only one channel is tested. The channel tested is randomly selected by software; it cannot be specified.

Step Action

1 Disable the DCHI using:

LD 96

DIS DCH N

2 Disable the PRI loop and run the self-test using:

LD 60

DISL L

SLFT L

Step Action

1 If all 30 channels are idle at midnight, SL-1 software disables the card and performs a self-test on all channels.

2 If any of the 30 channels are busy at midnight, software disables one idle channel, chosen at random, and checks it while the card is enabled.



To perform the remote loop-back test, use:

LD 60

ATLP 1 or 0

PRI midnight routinesThe following PRI maintenance routines should be included in midnight routines:

— Overlay 45: Background signaling and switching diagnostic

— Overlay 95: Automatic trunk maintenance diagnostic

— Overlay 48: Link diagnostic

Link diagnostic and remote loop-back testsThe remote loop-back test and the link-diagnostic test are performed manually on a per-channel or a per-frame (30 channels) basis.

Link diagnostic test The link-diagnostic test, also called the far-end loop-back test, does not test the SL-1 PRI. It puts the PRI in loop-back mode so a remote loop-back test can be performed on equipment at the far end.

The PRI channel or frame being tested must be disabled.

Remote loop-back test The remote loop-back test, also called the near-end loop-back test, checks the integrity of the PRI from the SL-1 to the far end. The far end must be in loop-back mode before this test can be performed.

The PRI channel or frame tested must be disabled.



Coordinating the tests When a technician at the far end asks for loop-back mode on the SL-1:

Disable the DCHI using:

LD 96

DIS DCH N

Disable the PRI loop and activate loop-back mode using:

LD 60

DISL L

RLBK L

To run the remote loop-back test on the SL-1, follow Procedure 7.

Figure 5 shows the relationship between the remote loop-back test and the link diagnostic test.

Procedure 7Remote loop-back test

Step Action

1 Call a technician at the far end.

2 Ask for loop-back mode at that facility.

3 When loop-back mode at the far end is confirmed:

Disable the DCHI using:

LD 96

DIS DCH N

Disable the PRI loop and run loop-back test using:

PRI error detectionBit error rate

Bit-error-rate monitoring detects errors in transmission. See Figure 6.

Bipolar violation (BPV) trackingIn a bipolar pulse stream, pulses alternate in polarity. A bipolar violation has occurred if, after transmission, two pulses of the same polarity are received in succession (this could be caused by an electrical disturbance such as noise).



Figure 6Bipolar violations

Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)The Cyclic Redundancy Check contains a checksum of all the data in the frame. The receiving side uses the checksum to verify the data is correct.

The primary difference between BPV and CRC is that bipolar violation tracking indicates errors on the local span, while CRC indicates errors on an end-to-end span.

Running the midnight routines prints the number of overflows and clears the counter.

TN to channel number conversionPRI channel numbers have an equivalent terminal number (TN). The TN is output instead of the channel number in some SL-1 messages. The TN-to-channel-number translation is shown below.

553-1347



Terminal numbers are identified in software by Loop (LL), Shelf (SH), Card (C), and Unit (U) numbers. Each TN is applied to an individual channel on the PRI pack (See Table 12).

Using the error counterThe Error Counter detects bipolar violations or no-signal periods. It counts, stores, and displays these occurrences to a maximum of 9999.

The PRI fault detection and isolation procedures described in this section are performed using a portable test package, which consists of one each of the following items:

— the TTT2028 Mini-Error Counter, plus operation instruction card

— a cord equipped with a bantam plug at one end and minihooks at the other

— a loop-back plug (shorts pins 3 to 1 and 11 to 9 of a 15 pin D connector)

Using the error counter

WARNINGTo prevent injury from voltage on the span, always connect the patch cord into the test set before connecting the other end to the external signal source.


1 Plug one end of a patch cord into the input jack of the test set.

2 Plug the other end of the patch cord into one of the monitor jacks (RCV and XMT) of the PRI pack being tested.

3 Monitor the Error Counter LED indicators as

DCH testsThere are four types of DCH tests. They are:

— DCH test 100

— DCH test 101

— DCH test 200

— DCH test 201

The DCH tests 100 and 101 are hardware tests, while the 200 and 201 test the DCH software.

DCH tests 100 and 101DCH tests 100 and 101 are isolated hardware tests. See Figure 9. Test 100 checks interrupt generation on the DCHI. Test 101 checks the DCHI loop-back capability. If either test fails, either a faulty DCHI or a contention problem is indicated. A test failure will initiate DCH error messages.

Tests 100 and 101 must be run in sequential order (tests 200 and 201 may follow). Established calls will stay up, but new calls cannot be placed.

FLOW To prevent any application from tying up buffer resources due to its abnormal conditions or misbehavior, a flow control mechanism is defined in the Meridian 1 and at the card level. This flow control mechanism only applies to the normal interface (receive and transmit ring buffers, not the expedited interface).

This flow control mechanism is based on a common “window” mechanism. The basic concept is that the number of outstanding messages that are associated with a Socket ID in the transmit or receive ring cannot exceed a predefined number, “application threshold”. Note that the mechanism is based on the number of messages per application rather than the number of buffers per application.

FLOWa first flow control hit starts a 128ms timer to allow one more try

FLOWb second flow control hit requests the sending of OK_TO_SEDN_REQ message via a logged SSD message to MSDL loadware. Start the 128ms timer

FLOWc third flow control hit asks the data socket to be resynchronized by MSDL loadware. Start the 128ms timer

FLOWd fourth flow control hit starts a 128ms timer such that the link will be forced to disable after time out.



MSDL local loopback test (NT6D80)See Figure 12. Before beginning this test, the D-channel must be in test state:

ENL TEST x, where x is the logical DCH number.

To start the local loopback test on the Multi-purpose Serial Data Link (MSDL) card, use the ENL LLB x command, where x is the logical DCH number.

Then perform the following test:

TEST LLB x

The test checks both MSDL expedited and normal (ring) interfaces.

The response for the expedited interface that carries urgent signaling and maintenance messages between the Meridian 1 CPU and the MSDL MPU follows:

DCH : X XDU TEST CONFIRM TIME : <time of day>TEST : PASS (or FAIL)

X is the DCH logical numberXDU is the expedient message sent around the loop.

The response for the ring interface that transmits operation data between the Meridian 1 CPU and the MSDL MPU follows:

DCH : X DU TEST CONFIRM TIME : <time of day>TEST : PASS (or FAIL)

1 If the test fails, check the status of the MSDL card, used by this DCH link, with the STAT MSDL y FULL command, where y is the physical port (DNUM) of the MSDL card.

2 If the MSDL card may be faulty, disable the card and perform a reset self-test.

DIS MSDL yRST MSDL ySLFT MSDL x

3 If the card passed the test, the problem may lie in incompatible software.



After completing the test, remove the D-channel from the test state:

DIS TEST DCH x.

Refer to Multi-purpose Serial Data Link description (553-3001-195).

MSDL remote loopback tests (NT6D80)See Figure 13. Before beginning this test, verify the following:

— D-channels on both switches are configured on MSDL cards

— DCH links on both switches are set to TEST mode

— DCH at Switch B is in remote loopback mode (RLB)

— remote capability (RCAP) is MSDL

1 Place DCH links on both systems in TEST mode. Enter ENL TEST DCH x on Switch A and ENL TEST DCH y on Switch B for the same DCH link. The DCH links on both switches are automatically placed in idle state (IDLE).

2 Place the Switch B DCH link in remote loopback state (RLB) with ENL RLB DCH x. The DCH link in Switch A must stay in idle.

3 From Switch A, perform the loopback test with TEST RLB DCH x.

The result of the remote loopback test is displayed on Switch A’s console in the following format:

DCH : X RLB TEST CONFIRM TIME : <time of day>TEST : PASSTEST : FAIL - NO DATA RCV FAR ENDTEST : FAIL - CORPT DATA RCV FAR ENDTEST : FAIL - REASON UNKNOWN

TEST : FAIL may indicate a problem in the physical link between the two switches, or faulty equipment in either switch. Check the connections, and verify the status of the MSDL and PRI trunk cards used for this link.

4 Place the Switch B DCH link back to the idle state, with the DIS RLB y command.

5 If you think the MSDL card used in either switch has failed, check the status of the DCH link and the status of the MSDL card by entering STAT MSDL x FULL.



6 If the MSDL card may be faulty, disable the card and perform a self-test:

DIS MSDL x SLFT MSDL x

7 If the card passed the test, the problem may lie in incompatible software. Refer to Multi-purpose Serial Data Link description (553-3001-195).

After the test is complete, remove both sides from the test state:

Protocol log (PLOG)The count of D-channel errors is stored in the Protocol Log (PLOG). The PLOG is printed by using LD 96 as shown in the PLOG status check below.

Protocol errors can be the result of

— PRI transmission problems and re-start procedures, or

— a protocol mismatch with the far end

The PLOG counters are cleared after

— the PLOG is printed, or

— the DCHI card is enabled

Note: When a protocol counter overflows, the PLOG is printed automatically and the counters are cleared.

When the PLOG has non-zero counters, check the PRI status and alarms as shown. See Table 15 for the PLOG for X11 Relase 17 and earlier. See Table 16 for the PLOG for X11 Release 18 and later.

Clock Controller (CC) maintenanceClock operation

Tracking modeIn tracking mode, the PRI loop supplies an external clock reference to a clock controller. See Figure 14. Two PRI loops can operate in tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference.

As shown in the Figure 14, an SL-1 system with a dual CPU may have two clock controllers (CC0 and CC1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock controllers should be locked to the reference clock.


Page 98 of 108 Clock Controller (CC) maintenance

Figure 14Clock controller primary and secondary tracking

Free run (non-tracking) modeThe clock synchronization for a PRI loop may operate in free-run mode if

— the loop is not defined as the primary or secondary clock reference

— the primary and secondary references are disabled

— the primary and secondary references are in local alarm

SL-1 software checks every 0-15 minutes (programmable) to see if a clock-controller or reference-clock error has occurred.

Clock Controller (CC) maintenance Page 99 of 108

In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock-controller error is detected, the system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which reference clock is being tracked.

A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver or with the reference system clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched.

Automatic clock recoveryAn option for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with the command EREF.

A PRI loop is disabled when it enters a local alarm condition. If the local alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions:

1 If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free run mode, it is restored to tracking on primary.

2 If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock controller is in free run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.

If the 15-minute clock check indicates the system is in free-run mode:

1 Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock, if defined.

2 If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored to the secondary reference clock, if defined.

Note: If the system was put into free-run mode intentionally by the craftsperson, it will resume tracking on a reference clock at this time. This occurs unless the clock-switching option has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has been "undefined" in the database.



Automatic clock switchingIf the EREF option is selected in LD 60, tracking on the primary or secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner:

1 If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC maintenance messages.

2 If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock, it switches to free-run mode.

Replacing the clock controller


CAUTIONDo not deviate from this procedure. Deviation will not cause the system to SYSLOAD or initialize, but will stop call processing.

Procedure 11Replacing the clock controller

Step Action

1 Make sure that the clock controller card being replaced is associated with an inactive CPU. Switch, if necessary, using:

LD 35

SCPU

2 Disable the clock controller card being replaced using:

LD 60

DIS CC x

3 On the clock controller card being replaced, set the ENB/DIS switch to DIS.

4 Disconnect cables from clock-controller card being replaced.

5 Remove card from shelf.

6 Set the ENB/DIS switch to DIS on the clock-controller card being added.

7 Make sure that the switch settings are correct.

8 Install new clock-controller card in same slot as the defective card.


9 Reconnect cable(s) to clock-controller faceplate.


10 Set ENB/DIS switch on new clock controller to ENB.

11 Enable new clock-controller card using:

LD 60

ENL CC x

12 Verify normal service level; first, switch the active clock to standby using:

LD 60

SWCK x

If an error message results, refer to Maintenance Manual II: Diagnostic Programs Description And Input/Output Reference (553-2301-511) for the interpretation.

Note: Switching clock controllers using LD 60 will generate ERR20 messages.

These can usually be ignored, but avoid excessive switching, especially when counters are near the maintenance or out-of-service thresholds. Excessive switching can generate maintenance or out-of-service threshold messages, or cause the PRI to be disabled.

Check the counters in LD 60. If necessary, reset the counters using the RCNT command.
