FAIL Expansion Interface circuit pack could not detect framing sequence.
1. Check if the Expansion Interface circuit pack on the opposite end of 
the fiber is present and if its cabinet has power.
2. Verify that the lightwave transceiver is connected to the correct slot on 
the back of the cabinet and that the fiber is connected to the lightwave 
transceiver. Verify this connection on both ends of the fiber. Check that 
an Expansion Interface circuit pack detects its lightwave transceiver by 
executing the reset board PCSS command, where PCSS refers to the 
Expansion Interface circuit pack. If the reset passes, the Expansion 
Interface circuit pack detects a lightwave transceiver. Refer to the 
description of the Expansion Interface Reset Test (#336) if the reset 
fails.
3. Verify that fiber transmit and receive ends have not been crossed when 
connected to the lightwave transceiver.
4. The problem may be due to a synchronization timing loop. Use the 
status sync command to determine which circuit pack is the 
synchronization reference. If the reference is a DS1 Interface circuit 
pack, use the set sync command to make a Tone-Clock circuit pack 
the reference. If this action causes the Expansion Interface to go into 
frame, synchronization must be examined for a possible timing loop. 
Refer to SYNC (Synchronization) Maintenance documentation for repair 
procedures. If the DS1 Interface circuit pack is not a reference, and the 
Expansion Interface circuit pack that is failing Test #238 is in the PPN, 
run tests on Tone-Clock circuit pack in the PPN to determine if clocks 
are present. If the Expansion Interface circuit pack that is failing Test 
#238 is in the EPN, and the red LEDs are ON on a large number of 
circuit packs, then reseat any Tone-Clock circuit packs in the EPN.
