406 NT6D80 MSDL card
Enabling the MSDL
Enter ENL MSDL x to enable the MSDL manually. If the MSDL base code
has not been previously downloaded or if the card version is different from
the one on the system disk, the software is downloaded and the card is
enabled.
To force software download and enable the card, enter ENL MSDL x FDL .
This command forces the download of the MSDL base code and the
configured peripheral software even if it is already resident on the card.
The card is then enabled.
To enable a disabled MSDL and its ports, enter ENL MSDL x ALL . This
command downloads all peripheral software (if required) and enables any
configured ports on the card. This command can be issued to enable
some manually disabled ports on an already enabled MSDL.
Disabling the MSDL
To disable an MSDL card, enter DIS MSDL x .
To disable the MSDL and all its ports, enter DIS MSDL x ALL .
Resetting the MSDL
To reset an MSDL and initiate a limited self-test, the MSDL must be in a
manually disabled state. To perform the reset, enter
RST MSDL x .
Displaying MSDL status
To display the status of all MSDL cards, enter STAT MSDL .
To display the status of a specific MSDL, enter STAT MSDL x . The status
of the MSDL, its ports, and the operation of each port appears.
The command STAT MSDL x FULL displays all information about an MSDL
(card ID, bootload firmware version, base code version, base code state,
operation state, date of base code activation) as well as the version, state,
and activation date for each card operation.
Self-testing the MSDL
To perform extensive self-testing of an MSDL, enter SLFT MSDL x . This
test can be activated if the card is in the manually disabled state. If the test
passes, the system outputs the card ID and a pass message. If it fails, the
system displays a message indicating which test failed.
Manually isolating and correcting faults
Problems are due to configuration errors that occur during installation or
hardware faults resulting from component failure during operation. See
“Symptoms and actions” (page 409) for more information on problem
symptoms and required responses.
