Expansion Interface Link Switch Command
This action is potentially destructive.
The Expansion Interface switch command enables system technician to choose
which set of Expansion Interface Links should be the Active link when duplicate
Expansion Interface Links are available.
The command line entry is set expansion-link PCSS, where PCSS is the
Expansion Interface address of
either
Expansion Interface circuit pack on the
Standby link. If the status system command indicates that the Standby link is
up, the set expansion-link command makes the Standby link the Active link.
This action is destructive because it must temporarily disable all connections
between PPN and EPN. This break in the connections is not detectable by
normal voice users.
!
CAUTION:
Data connections lose a small amount of data. Depending on the data
transmission speed, the lost data is anywhere from zero to several bytes.
It is recommended that system technician switch links when it is necessary to run
the more destructive tests on Expansion Interface circuit packs. Most
significantly, Test #242 requires the Expansion Interface circuit pack to be
busied out and, therefore, the link with the Expansion Interface to be tested
should be made the Standby link.

BOARD
No board was detected by the test.
1. Check the error log for wrong board (error 125) or no board (error 131).
Resolve either of these issues, if applicable.
2. Check that the board is properly translated and inserted. If so, check for
hyperactivity (error 1538). If hyperactive, use the reset board PCSS
command.
3. Run the test again. If it fails, the ID chip on board may be bad. Replace
the board and retest.
