Active SPE and the Standby SPE may be functional. However, to restore
the functionality of the communication path, look for the presence of Error
Types 58, 80, 81, 98, and 99 and use the recommended commands to
resolve these errors.
Additionally, if the Memory Functional Test passes, the memory
shadowing mechanism may be functional. However, to restore the
functionality of memory shadowing, look for the presence of Error Types
67, 82, and 85 and use the recommended commands to resolve these
errors.
k. If Error Type 139 is present, this error type takes precedence over all other
error types until it is resolved. This error type indicates an incompatibility
between the two Processor circuit packs in a High or Critical Reliability
system. For a High or Critical Reliability system to work, the two Processor
circuit packs must function together so that the circuit packs can perform
interchanges between themselves.
Use the following procedure to resolve this error:
1. Set the SPE-Select switches one at a time to select the Active SPE.
This also forces the Tone-Clock in this SPE to become active.
2. If the active SPE is the B carrier, issue the test
duplication-interface a long command.
3. Execute the test spe-standby long command.
4. Use the display error command with the "dup-spe" category to see
if the Error Code 139 recurred. If the error did not recur, and if all
STBY-SPE tests have passed, the system is functioning normally.
5. Restore the SPE-Select switches to normal.
6. If Error Code 139 still exists (and if the STBY-SPE tests have failed),
one of the Processor circuit packs must be replaced. The system
will function normally, but it will not be able to interchange properly
to the Standby SPE without service disruption. Replacing the
Standby processor is the best solution to this problem. However,
the processor must be replaced with one of a vintage that is
compatible with the current Active Processor.
However, if it is found that the Active processor must be replaced (for
example, the Standby processor is of a newer vintage), the repair strategy
is more complex. Use the following procedure to replace the Active
Processor circuit pack:
NOTE:
Replacing the Active Processor circuit pack will disrupt service.
Schedule this procedure at the customer’s convenience.
1. Set the SPE-Select switches one at a time to select the Standby
SPE. An SPE-interchange with a reset level of 3 or 4 results.
