Procedure 13.1: INITIATE REX SCHEDULING
OVERVIEW
The
EXC:REX
input message executes either one or all valid test types of routine exercise (REX) of the hardware in
the communication module (CM), and all switching modules (SMs) or in the CM, or in a range of SMs. The demand
mode or the verbose mode can be specified.
Caution: The
EXC:REX
message may result in severe traffic interruption if the DEMAND option is used.
PROCEDURE
1.
At the master control center (MCC) video terminal, type and enter:
EXC:REX[,CM][,SM=a&&b][,c][,VERBOSE][,DEMAND];
Where:
a
= Number of the SM on which REX is to start running or the lower limit of a range of
module numbers
b
= Upper limit on a range of SMs
c
= REX test type to be executed (default is to execute all three test types)
=
DGN - Execute the summary of diagnostic tests
DGN on CM can take some time.
=
ELS - Execute the summary of electronic loop segregation tests (This is not a valid test
type for the CM.)
=
FAB - Execute the summary of fabric exerciser tests of grids (This is not a valid test type
for the CM.)
=
SWITCH - Switch of the CM hardware states only (If neither CM nor SM is specified the
hardware is tested in the CM and all of the operational SMs.)
DEMAND
= Start the REX in the demand mode. Default is the nondemand mode. Do not use
the DEMAND option if the SM is cut-over and taking live traffic, as this results in severe
traffic interruption. The DEMAND option is specified only when the SM is in the pre-cut state
(that is, not in operation and taking no live traffic.) This mode is provided to test the circuits
that are not tested in normal mode because, when they are taken out of service for test, the
subtending trunks are also taken out of service. The demand-only phases of the circuit
diagnostics are also run during this mode. The demand option is not allowed for the CM.
VERBOSE
= Print each unit completion message on the ROP and on the terminal that
requested it. (Default is not to print the completion message for each unit but still print
failures for each unit on the ROP.)
Response:
PF
is printed followed by the
EXC REX
output message.
2.
