Packet Circuit Pack Audit Test (#573)
This test determines whether Packet circuit packs have reported Packet
Bus-related in-line errors within the last minute. If so, the failure code indicates
whether one or more than one circuit pack has reported such failures.
If the test has failed within the last 5 minutes, there is a 15 second delay before
the result is returned. This prevents a repeated sequence of this test from always
reporting the same result. If the test passes and a FAIL has not occurred within
the last five minutes, a PASS is returned immediately.
PASS No faults have been detected on the packet bus by the Maintenance/Test
circuit pack. This is an indication that the packet bus is operating correctly.

Result Description / Recommendation
2500 ABORT An internal operation failed; the test could not be repeated.
1. Re-enter the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
1 FAIL One Packet circuit pack has reported packet bus-related in-line errors within
the last minute.
2 FAIL More than one Packet circuit pack has reported packet bus-related in-line
errors within the last minute.
PASS No Packet circuit packs have reported packet bus-related in-line errors within
the last minute. This indicates that the packet bus is healthy, or that a packet
bus fault is transient or is being caused by a faulty Packet circuit pack. If this
test passes, but there are other signs of a packet bus failure (for example,
logged errors or alarms, or other test failures), see the ‘‘Isolating and Repairing
Packet-Bus Faults’’ section in Chapter 4, ‘‘Alarms, Errors, and
Troubleshooting’’.
