Replacing a Clock Controller
This procedure is for older 'Large Systems'. It does not apply to IP Media Gateway's. See UDT E1 T1 clocks for MGCLKS.Use this procedure to replace a one of the following cards:
- QPC471 - For U.S. markets.
- QPC775 - Canadian / International markets.
- NTRB53 - All markets, replaces QPC471/QPC775
Note: Clock controllers cannot be mixed in one system.
| LED | On | Off |
|---|---|---|
| Disabled | Enabled | |
| Active | Inactive |
Only one clock controller is active at a time, indicated by a Green LED.
If both LED's are off, the clock controller is in standby.
A Red LED indicates the card is disabled.
Always software and hardware disable an inactive clock controller (LD 60) in order to remove it!
Removing a CC card:
1. The clock controller must be on the inactive CPU side. If necessary, switch CPU's in LD 135: SCPU
2. Disable the clock controller card in LD 60:
- Single-CPU:
DIS CC xdisable clock controller, where x = 0 or 1
- Dual-CPU:
a. Check status, and if active switch clocks.
SSCK xGet status of system clock, where x = 0 or 1SWCKIf the clock (for removal) is active, switch clocks
b. Make sure the other clock controller card is active and in free run mode.
SSCK xGet status of system clock, where x = 0 or 1TRCK FRUNSet clock controller tracking to free run
c. Disable the inactive clock controller.
DIS CC xdisable clock controller, where x = 0 or 1
3. Set the ENL/DIS switch to DIS, disconnect cables, and remove the card.
Caution: Always set ENL/DIS switches to DIS before disconnecting or connecting cables.
Installing a CC card:
1. Set the ENB/DIS switch to DIS on the replacement card.
2. Set option switches. (Refer to Avaya Circuit Card Reference).
3. Insert card, connect cables, and set the ENL/DIS switch to ENL
The faceplate LED flashes three times to indicate the self test has passed.
4. Software-enable the card: ENL CC x
In a Single-CPU system, the procedure is complete!
In a Dual-CPU system, continue with the following steps...
5. Switch CPUs in LD 135: SCPU
6. Activate the newly-installed card and verify that it is active in LD 60: SWCK, SSCK x
7. If applicable, issue a tracking command: TRCK aaa
"aaa" is PCK for track primary clock, SCLK for track secondary clock, or FRUN for free run mode.
Note: Configure the clock source to the status it was in before the replacement procedure.
8. Verify clock switch-over and tracking in LD 60: SWCK, SSCK x. Reset the error counters: RCNT.
Primary and secondary reference loops (PREF and SREF) are set in LD 73, FRUN is not sychronised (master).
CLKC300 errors:
If the following errors scroll, try disabling and re-enabling the NTRB53 with a forced download: ENL CC x FDL.
