4.381 init-network

Use this command to reset all the network cards. The network cards are E5- TSMs and LIMs; that is, anything not part of the Maintenance and Administration Subsystem (MAS). This command resets all the network cards by reloading GPLs and data to the cards. Use of this command requires maintenance personnel to be located at the site.

Caution:

Using this command causes network nodal isolation; however, if the network nodal isolation is less than two seconds, it may not be detected and may not be reported. Also, in some cases when network nodal isolation has been detected and a large number of maintenance troubles are being reported, the network nodal isolation message may not be reported. An alarm is generated, however.

Parameters

force (optional)
Force the resetting of all the network cards.
Range:
yes
no
Default:
no

Example

init-network

Dependencies

The MASP must be in either Upgrade Phase 3 mode or Full Function mode. (See the “Notes” section for this command for more information.)

The system database must be coherrent when this command is entered.

At least one card with the SS7ANSI or CCS7ITU application installed must exist with an in-service active signaling link.

The force=yes parameter must be specified to override the required four-card SS7ANSI or CCS7ITU configuration. The system then selects the best available of the remaining SS7ANSI or CCS7ITU cards.

This command cannot be entered during an Extended Bit Error Rate Test (BERT).

Notes

Upgrade Phase 3

Upgrade Phase 3mode means that the MASPs are running GPLs that match the major revision defined for the approved GPLs, but the other network processors are only prepared to be upgraded.

Full Function

Full Function mode means that all MASPs are running GPLs that match the major revision defined for the approved GPLs. Full Function mode is the normal operating mode for the MASP.

Output

The command output scrolls into the scroll area of your display contiguously. However, for purposes of this example, each part has an explanation preceding it.
