MCMPCommunicFail No reply from MCMP circuit card. The DSU
periodically polls the MCMP circuit card for
health and status. When the DSU does not
receive a response, this message appears.
The problem could be temporary while
retraining is in progress. If message continues,
initiate a Device self-test (Devic) from the Test
branch. If failure continues, call your sales or
service representative.
