Fiber Link Reset Test (#768)
This test is destructive.
This test resets both endpoints of the fiber link and is executed via reset fiber-link F P.
Any DS1 converter circuit packs on the fiber link are not reset. The reset fiber-link
command should almost never be used. It may be necessary to use it when the endpoint circuit
packs enter a mode in which they cannot communicate with software. When necessary, always
reset fiber endpoints with the command instead of reseating the endpoint circuit packs.
For EI-to-EI fibers that connect an IPSI PN, the EI on the PN is reset first followed by the EI on
the IPSI PN. For EI-to-EI fiber links that connect two PNs, one EI is reset first followed by the
other.
For an EI-SNI fiber link in which the EI is on the PN, the SNI is reset first followed by the EI.
For an EI-SNI fiber link in which the EI is on a PN, the SNI is reset first followed by the EI.
For an SNI-to-SNI fiber link, the SNI farthest from the PN is reset first followed by the SNI
nearest to the PN.
240 FAIL The SNI Endpoint 2 is physically connected to a DS1 converter, but is not
assigned to be connected to one. Use list fiber-link to display a fiber
link’s endpoints.
Either replace the DS1 converter with fiber:
1. Enter list fiber-link to verify that the fiber-optic and metallic
cable connections are installed as assigned
2. Disconnect the SNI endpoint from the DS1 converter
3. Enter add fiber-link to reconnect the SNI to its assigned fiber
or
Add a DS1 converter complex to the SNI’s fiber:
1. Enter list fiber-link to locate this SNI endpoint’s fiber
2. Enter remove fiber-link for this SNI endpoint’s fiber
3. Enter add fiber-link to replace the fiber and to assign the DS1
Converter complex
PASS The administered data and the circuit packs the SNI(s) can communicate
with match.
