Maintenance Demand Tests
Clear Error Counters Test (#270)
This test is not an actual test in the strict sense of the word. Many circuit packs have counters in
the Angel firmware. These counters are used so that Control Chel Message Set (CCMS)
messages are not continuously sent uplink to maintenance software. Using this method, the
message will be sent until the counter reaches some preset threshold, then not sent again until
the counter is cleared.
The ports on the circuit pack continually run self-tests whenever the port is idle. This test clears
the counter so that if the port continues to fail during or after testing, the Angel will send a
message to indicate that fact.
This test is only used to send a downlink message to the Angel on the circuit pack. Since the
Angel normally provides no uplink response to this message, this test should never abort or fail.
This test is run on the following maintenance objects:
● ASAI-PT (ASAI Port)
● BRI-PORT (ISDN-BRI Port)
● M/T-ANL (Maintenance/Test Analog Port)
● M/T-DIG (Maintenance/Test Digital Port)
● M/T-PKT (Maintenance/Test Packet Bus Port)
● TBRI-PT (ISDN Trunk-Side BRI Port)
