FIJI Ring Status

A Dual Ring Fiber Network replaces the older IGS (intergroup switching) cards and module, and expands an Option 81/81C from 5 to 8 network groups, or from 160 to 256 loops. A NTRB33 FIJI card is installed in each Core/Net or Network module.

A ring of NTRC48 fiber optic cable links the FIJI cards for the Network shelf 0's, and another ring links the Network shelf 1's.
The FIJI cards in each 0 and 1 shelf pair are directly connected by a NTRC47 FIJI to FIJI Synch cable (except for Group 0).
With two rings, if there's a fault in one, the other can automatically take over. No calls are lost during the cutover.

Check Ring Status:

1. Check that the Fiber Rings operate correctly:

   LD 39	to load the program
   STAT RING 0	to check the status of Ring 0
   STAT RING 1	to check the status of Ring 1

   
   
2. If necessary, restore the Rings to Normal State:

   RSTR	to restore both Rings to Normal state

   
   
3. Check the status of the FIJI alarms:

   STAT ALRM

   to query the alarm condition for all FIJI cards in all Network Groups
