Notes:
a. Could experience a noisy port or link. This is an off-board problem 
detected by the port circuit. Check for faulty wiring, check for a defective 
data module, or reduce the cabling distance between the data module 
and the PBX (5000 feet for 24-gauge wire and 4000 feet for 26-gauge 
wire; see Note). If the problem still exists, replace the circuit pack. Once 
the problem has been resolved, the alarm is retired automatically within 60 
minutes.
The DA module is not phantom-powered from the port and hence its range 
is limited by the Italtel digital phone’s limit (0.7 km, 2300 feet, on 26-gauge 
wire or 1.8 km, 5900 feet, on 22-gauge, 0.6 mm, wire) if in linked mode, or 
by the maximum length of loop allowed from the Digital Line Interface 
(DLI) component (up to 3.5 km, about 2 miles, with 22-gauge, 0.6 mm, 
wire) if in stand-alone mode.
NOTE:
Refer to the 
DEFINITY Communications System Generic 1 and 
Generic 3i Wiring,

b. This error type and auxiliary data occur when at least 15 off-board 
problems have been detected with the link to the data module. When an 
error with the link is detected, an on-board counter is incremented.
The user could experience a noisy port or link. This is an off-board 
problem detected by the port circuit. Check for faulty wiring, check for a 
faulty data module, or reduce the cabling distance between the data 
module and the PBX (5000 feet for 24-gauge wire and 4000 feet for 
26-gauge wire; see the next Note). If the problem still exists, replace the 
circuit pack. Once the problem has been resolved, the alarm is retired 
automatically within 60 minutes.

c. This is an internal type error that occurs when an audit request fails.
d. This error type is logged when the port in question is busied out by 
maintenance personnel. Make sure that the port is released from busyout.
e. There are problems with transmitting to the data module. This is usually an 
on-board problem and can be ignored if no user complaints are received. 
Otherwise, check for faulty wiring.
