FIBER-LK (Fiber Link)
Issue 1 June 2005 1287
When an EI endpoint is reset, the Expansion Interface Reset test (#336) is executed. When an
SNI endpoint is reset, the SNI Reset test (#761) is executed. These tests are described in the
EXP-INTF and SNI-BD sections.
This test starts the other reset test mentioned above and returns PASS without waiting for the
results of the other reset test. For a better indication of how the other reset tests are running,
use reset board location on each individual fiber link endpoint.
Failure Audit (#777)
This test is nondestructive.
This test queries the SNI(s) on the fiber link for any existing failures and any unacknowledged
cleared failure messages. Each failure generates an error and alarm entry against SNI-BD,
SNI-PEER, or FIBER-LK. An unacknowledged cleared failure message is a message the SNI
circuit pack sent to software indicating a previous failure is now gone and the SNI circuit pack
did not receive a message from software indicating that the failure message was received by
software.
If no failures are detected by the SNI circuit pack, this test will pass.
If this test reports failures, the results screen for test fiber-link shows FAIL with no FAIL
code. The error log must then be displayed via display errors with category PNC to view
SNI-BD and FIBER-LK errors and display errors with category PNC-PEER to view
SNI-PEER errors.

Description / Recommendation
1703 ABRT Both fiber endpoints are in the hardware path for INLs to their respective
switch node carriers and, thus, cannot get a response from this test
because the INLs response should come on will go down as a result of the
reset.
1. Reset the individual fiber-link endpoints via reset board.
2500 ABRT Internal system error
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 3 times.
PASS The reset of both fiber endpoints successfully completed.
