suspected, the system technician should run the test tdm P system technician 
command. If any of the resulting tests fail, then the system technician must 
manually perform a TDM Bus isolation procedure to identify the cause of the 
problem.
!
WARNING:
Since the TDM Bus fault isolation procedure involves removing circuit 
packs and possibly disconnecting entire carriers, the procedure is 
extremely destructive to the port network that contains the TDM Bus being 
tested. If possible, this procedure should be used after hours or during 
hours with minimum system use.
As circuit packs are removed or entire carriers are disconnected, any active calls 
terminating on those circuit packs or carriers are dropped. If the system 
technician has any hints about a particular circuit pack that may be causing the 
TDM Bus problem (for example, a new circuit pack was inserted into the Port 
Network just before the TDM Bus problem appeared), then those hints should be 
investigated before performing this procedure.
For this procedure, make sure at least one Tone Detector circuit pack is in the 
same Port Network in which the TDM Bus fault is being isolated. The Tone 
Detector circuit pack is needed by maintenance to test the TDM Bus.
Procedure 1
This procedure is an attempt to isolate the TDM Bus fault to circuit packs that are 
essential to the system operation. For each of the following circuit packs, perform 
Procedure 1.
1. Display the Hardware Error and Alarm Logs for the circuit pack via the 
display errors and display alarms commands.
2. If there are errors for the circuit pack, refer to its Maintenance 
documentation and try to resolve the errors.
3. Whether or not all the errors can be cleared, test the TDM Bus again via 
the test tdm P command.
