Clear Error Counters (#270)
This test is not an actual test in the strict sense of the word. Many circuit packs
have counters in the Angel firmware. These counters are used so that Control
Channel Message Set (CCMS) messages are not continuously sent uplink. Using

pack via the test board PCSS command.
2. Resolve any problems that are detected on the Tone
Generator circuit pack or Tone Detector circuit pack.
3. If the Tone Generator and Tone Detector circuit
packs are functioning properly, and the test still fails,
replace the Maintenance/Test circuit pack.
14 FAIL The primary information channel is not transmitting
properly. User impact may range from nothing to not
being able to use this port.
1. Run the circuit pack tests to check the Tone
Generator circuit pack and the Tone Detector circuit
pack using test board PCSS.
2. Resolve any problems that are detected on the Tone

3. If the Tone Generator and Tone Detector circuit
packs are functioning properly, and the test still fails,
replace the Maintenance/Test Circuit Pack.
