Enables the MAJOR and MINOR alarm indicators on an Alarm Relay Card (ARC) or Alarm Relay Module (ARM). It also configures the slot to support external alarms from the Alarm Relay Interface (ARI) back card. You can use this command at any node that can provide external alarm indications to an alarm reporting system. The ARC or ARM can reside in any front slot but usually resides in the right-most slot.

Places an external device in loopback mode. The addextlp command applies to existing connections on an SDP, HDM, LDP, or LDM. A 'near' loopback causes the NEAR EIA template to be applied. A `far' loopback causes the FAR EIA template to be applied to the data port. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command.
The dspcons command shows which connections are in loopback mode. Specifying an "n" after the channel indicates a near loopback, and an "f" indicates a far loopback. Because addextlp takes the specified connections out of service, use it only when a service disruption is tolerable.

| n /f | Specifies whether the loopback is near or far. An "n" specifies near; an "f" specifies far. For a non-DDS port, the near or far modem is placed in loopback, if it supports this function. For a DDS port, the external DDS device is placed in CSU loopback. Local channels must be configured as OCU in order to place them in external loopback. |
The addloclp command places the following types of channels in local loopback mode:
For voice connections, addloclp loops the information stream from the designated channel or group of channels on an incoming circuit line back to the circuit line. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. The following illustrates a local loopback on a voice channel.
Figure 16-1 : Local Loopback on a Voice Channel
For data connections, addloclp loops the information stream from the incoming data port or set of ports back to these same port(s) through the local CDP/CVM, SDP/HDM, or LDP/LDM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. The following figure illustrates a local loopback on a data connection.
Figure 16-2 : Local Loopback on a Data Connection
A local loopback can simultaneously exist at both ends of a connection. However, a local loopback and a remote loopback cannot co-exist on a connection. (See the addrmtlp description for more information.)
Prior to executing a loopback, the IPX or IGX performs signal and code conditioning to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections can be looped back. Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing right parenthesis ")" or left parenthesis "(" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A local loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this in the connections display:
| Local Channel | Remote Node | Remote Channel |
| 12.1 | alpha | 15.1 |
A local loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:
| Local Channel | Remote Node | Remote Channel |
| 12.1 | alpha | 15.1 |
In frame relay connection loopback mode (DLCI included in command), all packets from the far-end of the connection are dropped. The far-end system software is informed of the loopback. In port loopback mode (port specified without a DLCI), all packets for this port are dropped and each opposite end is informed of the loopback mode. The format slot.port is used in port mode to loop just the port. The data is looped directly in the FRI back card, so no data reaches the MUXBUS or CELLBUS. The format slot.port.DLCI is used in connection (channel) mode to loop a specific channel. Note that this can affect up to 252 connections (channels) in port loopback mode.
Because the addloclp command causes the connection(s) to be removed from service, loopbacks should be used only when a service disruption can be tolerated. Remote loopbacks are established with the addrmtlp command. Both local and remote loopbacks are removed by the dellp command. Loopbacks for data channels can also be initiated by pressing a button on the front of the associated data card.
Frame Relay Local Loops with Port Concentrator
When a frame relay port or connection is located on a Port Concentrator instead of directly on an FRP or FRM card, the data test path is different. When just the <port> parameter is used, incoming data is looped back out on the Port Concentrator port:
Figure 16-3 : Local Loop on Port Concentrator
This loop disrupts all frame relay connections on the port that is under test.
When a connection is specified by <port.dlci> parameters, the connection is looped back at the FRM-2 or FRP-2 interface with the IGX or IPX card bus:
Figure 16-4 : Local Loop on FRM-2 or FRP-2
As shown, this test verifies the operation of all components from the Port Concentrator to IPX/IGX interface with the FRP-2 or FRM-2 card.
This tests interrupts only the specified connection on the Port Concentrator port.

Adds support of a local-remote loopback for testing multi-segment connections in a tiered network. The effect is to instruct the remote node to set up a remote loopback. The addlocrmtlp command must be executed prior to using tstcon and tstdelay for multi-segment connections. For interface shelves, you can execute addlocrmtlp on either the interface shelf (after telnetting to it). After testing is complete, remove the local-remote loop by executing dellp. A parenthesis on the screen shows the loop's endpoint.

Table 16-8 : addlocrmtlp -- Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| channels(s) | The connection endpoint on the local node. |
The addrmtlp command places the following types of channels in remote loopback mode:
For voice connections, addrmtlp loops the information stream from the designated channel or group of channels on an incoming circuit line across the network and loops it back to the circuit line by way of the remote CDP or CVM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. The following illustrates a remote loopback on a voice channel.
Figure 16-5 : Remote Loopback on a Voice Channel
For data connections, addrmtlp transfers the information stream from the designated channels through the network and loops it back to the data port(s) through a remote SDP, HDM, LDM, or LDP. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. The following illustrates a data connection remote loopback.
Figure 16-6 : Remote Loopback on a Data Connection
Prior to executing the loopback, the IPX or IGX applies signalling template bit patterns to the A, B, C, and D signalling bits at the remote end to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections (those that have been entered with the add-on command) can be looped back. You cannot establish a remote loopback on a connection that is already looped back, either locally or remotely. (See the addloclp command for more information on local loopbacks.)
Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing left parenthesis "(" or right parenthesis ")" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A remote loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this:
| Local Channel | Remote Channel | Remote Node |
| 3.2 | alpha | 12.1 |
A remote loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:
| Local Channel | Remote Node | Remote Channel |
| 3.2 | alpha | 12.1 |
For remote loopback of frame relay connections, note that in remote loopback mode, if the transmit minimum bandwidth exceeds the receive minimum bandwidth, then loopback data may be dropped. For this reason, the connection speeds will be checked and the user will receive the following message if there is a problem:
Because the addrmtlp command causes the connection to be removed from service, loopbacks should be used only when a service disruption can be tolerated. Local loopbacks are established with the addloclp command. Both local and remote loopbacks are removed by the dellp command. Loopbacks for data channels can also be initiated by pressing a push-button on the front of the associated data card.
Remote Loopbacks and the Port Concentrator Shelf
For frame relay remote loops, DLCI MUST be specified; entering only port number only generates an error message.
Unlike local loopbacks, remote loopbacks are not supported for frame relay ports; connections must be specified. Data incoming on the frame relay port is looped at the remote end FRM-2 or FRP-2 card.
Figure 16-7 : Frame Relay Remote Loops
As shown, this test verifies the operation of IPX/IGX network components up to the interface with the remote-end FRM-2 or FRP-2. This test interrupts data traffic for only the connection specified by DLCI.
If a port concentrator is attached to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, the only difference in the loop is that the port specified to loop data is on the Port Concentrator:

Clears the alarm condition attached to a clock source, either circuit line or trunk. The clock test runs continuously in a node, comparing the frequency of the node's clock source to a reference on the NPC/BCC/CC/control card. If a clock source is found to be outside preset frequency limits, it is declared defective and another clock source is selected. In order for the node to return to the original clock source, the alarm must be cleared using the clrclkalm command. The alarm may be either a "Bad Clock Source" or "Bad Clock Path" alarm.

Clears statistical alarms associated with either a physical or virtual trunk. Since the statistical alarms associated with a trunk have associated integration times, they can keep a major or minor alarm active for some time after the cause has been rectified. The clrtrkalm allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified.
The clrtrkalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

Selects the active System Bus. It should only be necessary to use this command when a problem is suspected with the currently active System Bus. As a safeguard against bus failure, each IPX node is equipped with redundant System Buses, Bus A and Bus B. Either bus can be configured as the active bus and the remaining bus is reserved as standby. Use the dspbuses command to display the current bus configuration when configuring the buses with the cnfbus command.

Sets the packet line (trunk) and circuit line alarm values for failures that are statistical in nature. Statistical alarms are declared by the IPX/BPX software when the cards supporting these lines report too many errors. An alarm is declared if the detected error rate equals the specified "error rate" for the period of time designated by "alarm time". Error rates that exceed the specified error rate cause an alarm in a proportionately shorter period of time. An alarm is cleared when the error rate remains below the rate specified by "error rate" for a period of time designated by "clear time".
Only the thresholds for alarms caused by the collection of statistical data can be configured. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be configured. For example, the threshold for an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be configured, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot. There are six parameters for each alarm type, three each for minor and major alarms respectively. When configuring any one item or more of a minor or major alarm, a value must be entered. The value may be a new value or the current value.

Configures trunk alarm reporting. When trunks are upped and added to the network, they automatically have their alarm reporting enabled. This command permits alarms from upped trunks to be disabled. This may be useful, for example, for trunks that are connected to the node but not yet in service or if the node is experiencing occasional bursts of errors but is still operational. When the alarms are enabled, they will cause an alarm output from the DTI Group Alarm Connector (if equipped) and an alarm indication from the StrataView Plus terminal.

Deletes an external, local, remote, or local-remote (tiered nets) loopback form the designated channel, set of channels, or port. After the loopback is deleted, any conditioning applied during the loopback process is removed and service is restored. Local loopbacks are added with the addloclp command, and remote loopbacks are added with the addrmtlp command. External loopbacks are added with the addextlp command. A local loop can be deleted only from the node that added it. However, a remote loop can be deleted from the node at either end of the connection. Local-remote loopbacks are added with the addlocrmtlp command. Note that with local-remote loopbacks, execution of dellp is mandatory after testing is complete, otherwise continuity errors will follow.

Downs or deactivates a card. When a card is downed, it is no longer available to the software as a node resource. A card should be downed before it is removed from the card cage. When an active card is downed, the node verifies that a standby card is available. If not, you are given an opportunity to abort the command. If a standby card of the same type is available and you execute the command, standby card will activate. If no standby card is available and you execute the command, a major alarm will result. If a card is removed from the card cage without being downed, no warning is given. Cards are upped with the upcd command. The NPC/BCC card cannot be downed. To change a NPC/BCC from active to standby or vice versa, use the switchcc command.

Shows the current state of all inputs from user equipment to the node the state of all outputs from the node to the user equipment. The display is real-time and updated at a user-specified interval. The display refreshes at the designated interval until the Delete key is pressed or until it times out. See the cnfict description for information on configuring data interfaces. When used with Frame Relay T1/E1 applications, dspbob displays the message "This FRP does not support V.35 ports."
Displaying Signal Status for Port Concentrator Ports
If an FRM-2 or FRP-2 card connects to a Port Concentrator Shelf (PCS), up to 44 ports can be specified with the port parameter. In this case, dspbob displays the signal status for ports on the PCS. The PCS relays any changes in signal states to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, so a slight delay occurs when signals are updated.
When used for PCS ports, dspbob has an optional parameter of measuring port clock speed. Selection of this parameter temporarily interrupts all traffic on the logical port. The events that take place upon input of this parameter are:

Table 16-31 : dspbob -- Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| slot | Specifies the slot number of the card containing the port whose input and output pins are to be displayed. |
| port | Specifies the data port or frame relay port whose input and output pins are to be displayed. |
Table 16-32 : dspbob -- Optional Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| interval | Specifies the time in seconds, between updates of the breakout box display. The range is from 1 to 60 seconds. If no interval is specified, the display is updated at five second intervals. Do not use an interval of "1" second in a busy network. |
| measure clock speed | For Port Concentrator Shelf only: directs the system to measure the clock speed.
If a Port Concentrator port is selected, the last measured clock speed is displayed on the Clocking line. When Measure Clock Speed is entered as an optional parameter, the clock is measured first, and the results are displayed. Clock speed measurement for PCS ports is described in the System Manual information for the PCS. |
Displays the status of the System Buses on an IPX or IGX node. As a safeguard against bus failure, each node is equipped with redundant System Buses: Bus A and Bus B. Either bus can be configured as the active bus with the other bus as standby. The cnfbus command is used to switch the active bus. Each System Bus contains the following buses: Control Bus, Time Division Multiplex (TDM) bus, clock bus and power bus. In addition to showing which System Bus is active and which is standby, the dspbuses command also shows which sub-bus needs diagnostics or has failed. Bus status is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Possible statuses that may be displayed are listed below.
Table 16-33 :
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| OK | Bus operation satisfactory |
| Failed TDM | A failed TDM Bus |
| Failed CNTL | A failed Control Bus |
| Needs Diagnostics TDM | The TDM bus needs diagnostics |
| Needs Diagnostics CNTL | The Control Bus needs diagnostics |
The remaining MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth available to assign to cards and circuits is displayed. This is primarily used when configuring the AIT card on the IPX or BTM card on the IGX. The user can assign MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth for the IPX or IGX, respectively. Available bandwidth falls into two categories, namely, dedicated and pooled. Dedicated bandwidth is reserved by the system for specific purposes, for example Statistical Reserve for PCC traffic. Pooled bandwidth is available and can be assigned to any use but primarily will be used for an ATM trunk.
MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth is assigned in quantities of "switches", "slices", and "circuits" and the available bandwidth is displayed in three rows accordingly. A single DS0 circuit occupies 333 packets/second of MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth, a "slice" of bandwidth is equivalent to three DS0 circuits for a total of 1000 packets/second. And a switch is eight slices for a total of 8000 packets/second of bus bandwidth. In a newly installed node with no cards and no circuits installed, the total bus bandwidth that is available to be assigned is listed in the right column of the following table, which is the sum of the dedicated and pooled bandwidth. As cards and circuits are added to the node, the available bandwidth decreases accordingly.
Table 16-34 :
| Unit of BW | Quantity | MUXBUS/CELLBUS Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| switch | 8 slices or 8000 packets/sec. | 20 |
| slice | 3 DS0's or 1000 packets/sec. | 160 |

Resets the hardware and software for a specified card. A hardware reset is equivalent to physically removing and reinserting the front card of a card group and causes the card's logic to be reset. When you reset the hardware of an active card other than a controller card (an NPC, NPM, or BCC), a standby card takes over if one is available. A failure reset clears the card failures associated with the specified slot. If a slot contains a card set, both the front and back cards are reset.
Do not use the reset command on an active NPC, NPM, or BCC because this causes a temporary interruption of all traffic while the card is rebooting. (Resetting a controller card does not destroy configuration information.) Where a redundant NPC, NPM, or BCC is available, the switchcc command is used to switch the active controller card to standby and the standby controller card to active. If a standby card is available, resetting an active card (except for a NPC, NPM, or BCC) does not cause a system failure. H/F Resetting of an active card that has no standby does disrupt service until the self-test finishes.

Switches the standby BCC or NPC (or NPM) card to active and the active card to standby. If a standby BCC is not available, the command is not executed. If a standby BCC is available but not ready to go active, a prompt asks you to confirm or abort the switch. This command was previously called switchpcc. Executing switchcc has the following effect:
Immediately after the switch, the controller card that was previously active reverts to a download mode. This is indicated by the flashing front panel FAIL lamp. The system software image that is always stored in ROM is downloaded to RAM in the event that the system software was corrupted.
After this is completed, the configuration database is downloaded from the newly active controller card to complete the download. This process takes a number of minutes so this controller card not available for standby operation until this download process is completed. The switchcc command results in a very brief interruption of all traffic. Consequently, you should use switchcc only when the network can tolerate a brief interruption.

The tstcon command tests the integrity of an IPX or IGX data path by inserting node-generated test data. The connection service is affected for only a few seconds during the test. One channel at a time is tested to minimize disruption. Because service is disrupted for a short time, no conditioning is applied during the test.
The tstcon command can also test an IPX that has been configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF) in a tiered network but only after a local-remote loopback has been set up with the addlocrmtlp command. After testing is complete, the loopback established with addlocrmtlp must be removed by dellp.
Test results are reported as follows:
Table 16-47 :
| Result | Description |
|---|---|
| Completed | total number of tests that were run. |
| Aborted | number of tests that did not run because the connection was not testable because of loopbacks or missing or failed hardware. |
| Failures | number of tests that failed. |
| Repaired | number of connections that failed a previous test and have passed the current test. |
If a failure is detected, the fault is isolated to a replaceable IPX or IGX, and the standby module (if available) automatically goes into service. During fault isolation, conditioning is applied to both ends of the connection. Only existing connections can be tested. If you enter a range of channels (with connections and some without), the unconnected channels are skipped. The tstcon command can be entered from the node at either end of the connection. Unlike the addloclp and addrmtlp commands, the tstcon command does not require external test equipment. Connections cannot be tested with the tstcon command if they are currently looped back with either the addloclp or addrmtlp commands. Example commands follow:
Table 16-48 :

Table 16-50 : tstcon -- Optional Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| -nolp | No automatic loopback. This parameter applies only to local-remote loopbacks and is mandatory for testing a multi-segment connection in a tiered network. |
| type | Restricts the test to the designated connection type. Valid connection types are listed below. If no connection type is designated, all connections are tested.
v Tests only voice connections. d Tests only data connections. f Tests only frame relay connections. |
| x | Aborts the test as soon as a failure is detected. If an "x" is not entered, all specified connections are tested regardless of the test results for each individual connection. |
| repeat count | Specifies the number of times the test is to be repeated. The range is from 1 to 50. If no test count is specified, the test is run once. |
Externally tests the integrity of a connection by inserting OAM segment loopback cells. The connection service is affected for only a few seconds while the data path is tested. To minimize this disruption, each channel is tested individually. This means only one connection at a time is removed from service. Because service is disrupted for only a short time, no conditioning is applied during the test.
The tstconseg command can also test the connection to an IPX that has been configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF) in a tiered network but only after a local-remote loopback has been set up with the addlocrmtlp command. After testing is complete, the loopback established with addlocrmtlp must be removed by dellp.

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| A|a | Specifies that the test be aborted if an error occurs (not case sensitive). |
Puts the remote end of the connection into a loopback state, requests the FRP (frame relay) or ASI (ATM) to generate a test packet, calculates the round trip delay (RTD), and displays the round trip delay. This delay includes the FRP or ASI and trunk queuing and processing delays throughout the network. The measured delay using tstdelay differs from the ForeSight RTD, which uses a high-priority packet and does not include processing and queuing delays. Using the tstdelay command requires that the FRP is at least a Model D. This test interrupts transmission on the connection during the test. Test results appear at the bottom of the screen (this may include a timeout message, as in Example 1).
Testing an IPX that has been configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF) requires execution of addlocrmtlp prior to tstdelay and a tstdelay parameter that applies only to tiered networks (see optional parameter table). After testing is complete, the loopback established with addlocrmtlp must be removed by dellp.

Table 16-54 : tstdelay -- Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| channel | Specifies the channel of the connection to be tested. It can be a frame relay connection specified as slot. port. DLCI or an ATM connection specified as slot.port.vpi.vci. |
Table 16-55 : tstfdelay -- Optional Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| -nolp | No automatic loopback. This parameter applies only to local-remote loopbacks and is mandatory for testing a multi-segment connection in a tiered network. |
| repeat count | Specifies the number of times the test is to be repeated. The range is from 1 to 50. If no test count is specified, the test is run once. |
| ForeSight RTD (y/n) | Specifies that the ForeSight RTD is included and applies to ATM connections only. |
The tstpcs command tests the data path for PCS ports for a selected module. The port parameter specifies the particular PCS module. The port parameter specifies an FRM-2 or FRP-2 physical port to which one of the PCS modules connects.
Upon command entry, each of the 11 ports for the PCS goes into a loop state. In this state, data goes to each port and loops back to the PCS module. Test frames go to a port and are checked for integrity when they return. The test frames also go out on the port.
During this test, any frame relay connection data received by the FRM-2 or FRP-2 destined for one of the ports is discarded. The other three Port Concentrator modules are unaffected. After the test, the port is returned to its previous configuration.
The PCS tests available RAM, and sets each of the 11 ports into a loop mode. Ten frames of data are sent to each port and checked to make sure the same frames are received in entirety and order.
During a test, the dsppcs screen shows "Testing" then either "Passed" or "Failed." The test takes about 15 seconds.

Table 16-56 : tstpcs -- Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| slot.port | Slot is the location of an FRM-2 or FRP-2 card. Port selects the physical port to which one of the Port Concentrator modules is connected. The range for port is 1--4. |
Executes a port loopback test on the specified data port. Using tstport without the optional parameter performs an internal test. The loopback for the internal test is performed on the IPX or IGX back card and is used to test just the IPX or IGX front and back cards. The test disables the communications for that port and the back card is placed into a loopback mode. The applicable card sets for the tstport command are the FRP, FRM, SDP, HDM, LDP, and LDM. The card under test sends several frames of data to the port on the interface card, loops them back, and checks their integrity.
If connections exist on the port being tested, the dspcons screen appears. If no connections are present, the dspfrport screen appears. A flashing `T' in the connections screen indicates those connections affected by the test. Either a "(" character or a ")" character indicates the loopback in the dspfrport. If a local or remote test fails, the port itself is automatically tested (internal) to determine if the IPX or IGX caused the failure. The following are example command lines:
| tstport 5.3 | internal loopback port test---this is the default loopback |
| tstport 5.3 n | near external port loopback test |
| tstport 5.3 f | far external port loopback test. |
For a frame relay port or an LDP or LDM port, an external loopback may be placed at the near (local) or far (remote) modem during the test. For a DDS port, the external loopback is a CSU or DSU loopback at the remote DSU device. If an external port loopback test fails, the internal port loopback test is executed to determine if the IPX or IGX caused the failure. The cnfict command can be used to specify the interface control lead template used to condition the output control leads during loopback.
The local and remote modem tests that test the near end and far end modems or NTUs require the IPX or IGX back card to operate as a DTE, so the modem acts as a DCE in this case. The back card asserts the local or remote loopback pin of the V.35 port. For X.21 ports, which do not have a loopback pin defined, the back card sends a loopback command in the data stream to cause the NTU to go into loopback mode. The test then begins.
The loopback test operation sends several frames of test data, receives them back, compares them, and verifies their integrity. The loopback pin subsequently returns to the inactive state, and the modems return to normal operation. The local or remote test works with only those modems that recognize a local and remote loopback command.
Before starting a test, the user must be sure the cabling is correct for the specific equipment. The test conventions are described in CCITT V.54 and X.21 specifications. Only the near (n) and far (f) options are available for the Model C SDP. If the near or far tests fail, no internal test is executed on the SDP to isolate the problem. The SDP is not failed due to a tstport failure.
