Avaya 03-300430 User Manual

PKT-INT modules are automatically administered as a component of an IPSI circuit pack. See 
add/remove ipserver-interface and test/status/reset packet-interface in 

Maintenance Commands Reference (03-300191).

To replace a Packet Interface module that is part of a TN2312AP IPSI circuit pack, follow the 
procedure for replacing an IPSI circuit pack.

System software denies a demand reset of an active IPSI’s Packet Interface (reset 
packet-interface) if the Packet Interface is in service, and has not been placed in an 

out-of-service state by background maintenance software. A reset of an in-service Packet 
Interface causes severe service disruption, including the loss of all existing calls, and dropped 
links to adjuncts such as AUDIX. As part of the automatic recovery action initiated when a fatal 
hardware-fault condition is detected, the software that controls Packet Interface maintenance 
puts a Packet Interface module in the out-of-service state if that IPSI circuit pack has been reset 
three times within the last 15 minutes.
A demand reset of a standby Packet Interface is not disruptive and is allowed regardless of the 
service state of the associated maintenance software.

Packet Interface maintenance software maintains a state variable to monitor the service state of 
each Packet Interface. To determine the state of a Packet Interface, use status 
packet-interface. A Packet Interface can be in the service states:

●

in-service - in service and active

●

standby - in service and standby

●

out-of-service - active or standby Packet Interface not in service

●

standby-disabled - IPSI circuit pack with Packet Interface module is present and 
administered, but duplication is disabled

●

craft-busy - Packet Interface has been demand busied out by craft

●

uninstalled - Packet Interface is administered but not physically present
