h. These error codes are used to report certain error messages received by 
the ISDN-PRI Signaling Group for one of its associated B-channels. The 
aux data field shows for which B-channel (port number) the message was 
received.
The error code generated equals 3840+
x
, where 
x
 is a Cause Value 
defined by the ISDN PRI Specification. Note that there is no Test to Clear 
Value for these error types; selected ISDN cause values are placed in the 
log when they are received, but no direct action or alarming is performed 
solely in response to receiving them. They provide added data that may 
prove useful when tracking down obscure networking and routing 
problems. Table 3-303
 provides more information:

Error 
Code Description Recommendation
3842 A request has been made 
to use a transit network or 
common carrier that cannot 
be accessed.
1. From the circuit pack and port number (in the Aux 
Data field), determine the trunk group against which 
the error was reported.
2. Check all routing patterns containing this trunk group 
for validity of interexchange carriers requested (IXC 
field).
3846 The far-end switch has 
indicated that the 
B-channel (trunk) is not 
acceptable for use in the 
call for which it was 
requested.
This could indicate an administration problem (for 
example, the local switch and the far-end switch have 
different B-channels administered), or could reflect the 
occurrence of a normal race condition (for example, the 
local switch has requested use of a B-channel which the 
far-end switch had just reserved for use on another call).
1. From the circuit pack and port number (in the 
Aux 
Data
 field), determine the trunk group against which 
the error was reported.
2. Issue the status trunk command for the indicated 
trunk. 
3. Refer to the ‘‘DS1 ISDN Trunk Service States’’ and 
‘‘ISDN-PRI Trunk Service States’’ sections of 
ISDN-TRK for recovery suggestions.
3858 The switch sent an ISDN 
message to the far-end 
switch or terminal adapter 
which did not respond in 
the allotted time.
Possible causes include link failure and congestion or 
outage at the far-end.
