Description
This command resets the Processor Interface circuit pack, causes its associated
software to be read from tape, applications processes to be restarted,
permanent switched calls to be re-established, and each enabled link to be
setup. If the interface cannot be established, a Major alarm i s raised on the
interface and all enabled links are taken out-of-service. When the Message
Server Adjunct (MSA), Distributed Communications System (DCS), Audio
Information Exchange (AUDIX), or Call Management System (CMS) is first
administered and the form submitted, the link for these applications and the
submittal of the form restart the interface. Before the Processor Interface circuit
pack is replaced, the switch must be powered down and then restarted (unless
the system is equipped with High or Critical Reliability).
When resolving troubles, also see the status interface, status link, and status
processor-channel commands to determine where the trouble is located before
performing a reset interfaces because link traffic is interrupted.

WARNING:
The interface command interrupts operation of the AP, DCS, AUDIX, CMS
or ISDN-PRI.
