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.
