Another way to determine which PNC (and therefore, which EIs in an EPN) is active and which 
is standby, use status port-network and status PNC.
See 
the possible EI amber LED states.
Notes:
a. This flashing state corresponds to error codes 769 and 770 from the Hardware Error Log 
and indicates a failure of Test #238. These error codes are usually accompanied by error 
code 1281 (no EI or SNI detected on opposite end of fiber). This condition may be caused 
by the absence of the neighbor EI or SNI circuit pack, a broken or missing fiber, or a missing 
lightwave transceiver on either endpoint (EI or SNI circuit packs).
b. This corresponds to error code 1281 from the Hardware Error Log and indicates a failure of 
Test #237. This condition is usually due to the failure of this EI circuit pack or a failed EIEI or 
SNI circuit pack counterpart.
c. This is the normal state for an active PN EI circuit pack that is also the bus master 
(Expansion Archangel) in the EPN.
d. This is the normal state for an active EI circuit pack that is not the bus master (Expansion 
Archangel) for a PN. This applies only in the direct-connect configuration where the EI 
circuit pack in a PN is connected via a fiber link to an EI circuit pack in the other PN.
e. This is the normal state for a standby EI circuit pack in a PN.
Note:
Note:
In a PN, its TN775C Maintenance (MAINT) circuit pack monitors the sanity of the 
EI circuit pack. If the EI circuit pack should cycle between sane and insane 
several times, the Maintenance circuit pack will hold the EI circuit pack reset. If a 
new EI circuit pack is installed in the PN, and the red LED remains lit, the PN’s 
Maintenance circuit pack should be removed because it may be holding the new 
EI circuit pack reset. This condition could present itself if there is a link problem to 
the PN, and the PN experiences several PN restarts. The Maintenance circuit 
pack may be reinstalled after the EI circuit pack has been physically inserted and 
the EI circuit pack’s red LED has gone off.
