E1 PRI (ISDN) - Reset Procedure

Use the following procedure to disable and re-enable a troublesome ISDN PRI circuit.
Steps in RED (and an asterisk) are for Option 11 systems only, ignore these on large systems.

1. LD 60: STAT

Note the LOOP number, and associated DCH (on channel 31) of your PRI. We must know these before we start!
The following reset procedure is performed on Loop 12 and DCH 5, but you must substitute YOUR values instead!
See below for a LD 60 STAT command output example.

2. Disable:

LD 96: DIS AUTO 5
LD 96: DIS DCH 5
LD 96: STAT DCH 5 (check that d-channel 5 is disabled)
LD 60: DISL 12
LD 60: STAT 12 (check that loop-12 is disabled)
* LD 60: DIS CC 0

Remove / replace card.

Note:

Set the front panel switch to Dis before removing or inserting. After inserting, wait 10 seconds, and set to Enb.
Be sure to compare card dip switch settings so both cards are optioned the same. Switch S12 sets card to either DTI2 or PRI2. S12-4 On = PRI2 Mode.

3. Enable:

LD 96: ENL DCH 5
LD 96: STAT DCH 5 (ensure d-channel 5 is enabled)
LD 60: ENLL 12
* LD 60: ENL CC 0
* LD 60: TRCK PCK
LD 60: STAT 12 (ensure loop 12 is enabled)
LD 96: ENL AUTO 5
LD 60: STAT 12

There should now be 3 green lights on the card, and 30 IDLE channels!

If this procedure doesn't work, try the following:

LD 60 - RCNT to reset error counters (LCNT - list counters)
LD 96 - DIS SERV x (x = DCH channel). This will prevent PTT service messages from MBSYing the channels.
LD 96 - DIS MSDL x (ALL), ENL MSDL x (ALL, FDL). STAT MSDL to find x.

Example printouts

Use STAT in LD 60 to indentify your PRI Loop(s), DCH number(s), and check the circuit status.
The CH31 position shows the associated D-channel number for that loop, in this case DCH 5.
