1 ABORT Could not allocate time slot on TDM Bus A. Loop back passed on 
TDM Bus B.
2 ABORT Could not allocate time slot on TDM Bus B. Loop back passed on 
TDM Bus A.
1. If there is no reason to doubt that the Expansion Interface circuit 
pack can transfer data to or from a TDM Bus, then since the test 
passed on one bus, assume that the test passes on the other bus 
as well.
2. If EXP-INTF circuit pack Error Types 1, 2, 1537, or 1793 are 
present in the Error Log and/or if Expansion Interface circuit pack 
Tests #240, #241, or #242 have failed previously, there is reason 
to doubt that the Expansion Interface circuit pack can transfer 
data to or from a TDM Bus. To determine if the test can pass on 
both TDM Buses, perform the following procedure: For Error Code 
1, issue the set tdm PC command, where P is the network 
containing the Expansion Interface circuit pack being tested and 
C is the TDM Bus A. Execute the test board PCSS command 
again. If this test passes or aborts with Error Code 2, this test is 
considered to have passed. For Error Code 2, issue the set tdm 
PC command, where P is the network containing the Expansion 
Interface circuit pack being tested and C is the TDM Bus B. 
Execute the test board PCSS again. If this test passes or aborts 
with error code 1, this test is considered to have passed.
3. If this test continues aborting with the same error after setting the 
TDM Bus as indicated in Step 2, rerun the test at 1-minute 
intervals a maximum of 5 times. Apply the passing criteria for Step 
2 to each result.
4. If the test still does not pass on the other TDM Bus, follow the 
procedure for abort error code 3.
3 ABORT The system could not allocate time slots for the test on either TDM 
Bus. The system may be under heavy traffic conditions or it may have 
time slots out-of-service due to TDM-BUS errors. Enter display errors 
and follow associated repair procedures for TDM-BUS errors.
1. If system has no TDM-BUS errors and is not handling heavy 
traffic, repeat test at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 3 times.
