The PLOG counters are cleared after:
• the PLOG is printed, or
• the DCHI card is enabled
Note:
When a protocol counter overflows, the PLOG is printed automatically and the counters are
cleared.
When the PLOG has non-zero counters, check the PRI status and alarms as shown in
Checking the PLOG status on page 73. See Table 20: Protocol log on page 73 for the
PLOG.
Checking the PLOG status
1. Check the contents of the PLOG using the following:
LD 96 PLOG DCH x
Response: DCH : XX MAINT CONFIRM TIME: <time of day> COUNTERVALUE 1:
12 12: 8 20: 15 N: XX
2. If there are PRI bit rate or frame errors, assume there is a PRI problem.
3. If there is no problem with the PRI but there are a large number of protocol errors,
report a protocol problem.
