Layer 1 Transmission Error Counter Test (#624)
This test reads and clears the BRI port’s Layer 1 Transmission error counter
maintained on the BRI-LINE circuit pack. This counter is incremented by the
circuit pack when it detects a Layer 1 transmission problem. The test passes if
the value of the counter is 0 (that is, the error is cleared). If the counter is not
zero, the test fails, and the value of the counter is displayed in the Error Code
field.
This error is most likely due to a problem with the wiring or the endpoint or adjunct
(verify that the wiring meets the configuration rules defined in DEFINITY
Communications System Generic 1 and Generic 3i Wiring, 555-204-111. It does
not indicate a problem with the ISDN-BRI circuit pack. This test is useful for
verifying the repair of the problem.

Result Description / Recommendation
2000 ABORT Response to the test was not received from the circuit pack within the allowable
time period.
1. If the test aborts repeatedly up to five times, reset the circuit pack via the
busyout board PCSS and reset board PCSS commands.
2. If the test aborts again, replace the circuit pack.
2012 ABORT Internal system error.
2100 ABORT Could not allocate necessary system resources to run test.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
2. If the test continues to fail, escalate the problem.
value FAIL The BRI-LINE circuit pack is still detecting errors of this type. The Error Code
field contains the value of this counter.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
2. If the test continues to fail, review the results of other tests in the long test
sequence. Pay particular attention to the results of the Level 1 Status
Inquiry test. Follow repair procedures for any of the executed tests if they
fail. Otherwise, go to the next step.
3. If the tests for the endpoints or adjunct pass and the Layer 1 Transmission
Error Counter test continues to fail, check the wiring to the endpoints or
adjunct. If the wiring appears to be fine, escalate the problem.
PASS The Layer 1 Transmission error counter was read correctly and has a value of
0.
