for five minutes before attempting to set up the link again. If this error type 
recurs frequently (that is, more than once a month), advise the customer to 
call the vendor of the PMS to check out the PMS device. Once the PMS 
Link is successfully established, this error disappears from the Hardware 
Error Log (see Note).
NOTE:
The PMS should be checked for adherence to message rate defined 
in the PMS/PBX protocol specifications. No alarm is raised against 
this error.
i. The attempt to swap the database between PBX and PMS failed 3 times 
consecutively due to excessive PMS/PBX protocol violations, buffer 
overflows, or PMS Link outages. The PMS Link is NOT torn down. If this 
error type recurs frequently (that is, more than once a month), then advise 
the customer to call the vendor of the PMS to check out the PMS device. 
Once the PMS Link is successfully established, this error disappears from 
the Hardware Error Log. No alarm is raised against this error.
j. The PMS Link has been busied out for system technician-demanded 
maintenance via the 
busyout pms-link
 command or has been brought 
down via the 
test pms-link long
 command. The PMS Link is torn down, 
and PMS Link maintenance stops attempting to reestablish the link in the 
case where the 
busyout pms-link
 command has been used. When the 
test pms-link long
 command has been used, PMS Link maintenance 
continues to try to reset the link. To restore the PMS Link after use of the 
busyout pms-link
 command, issue the 
release pms-link
 command. To 
restore the PMS Link after use of the 
test pms-link long
 command, issue 
the 
test pms-link
 command.
k. The PMS Link is physically established, but the protocol has not been 
started by the PMS before the protocol timer expires. The PMS Link is NOT 
torn down. If this error type recurs frequently (that is, more than once a 
month), advise the customer to call the vendor of the PMS to check out the 
PMS device. Once the PMS Link is successfully established, this error 
disappears from the Hardware Error Log.
NOTE:
The PMS should be checked to make sure that it attempts to start the 
protocol according to the PMS/PBX protocol specifications. No 
alarm is raised against this error.
