RIOIP08 Section-1

Procedure

  1. Sign on to SST or to DST if you have not already done so.
  2. Select Start a service tool > Hardware service manager > Logical hardware resources > High-speed link resources.
  3. Move the cursor to the HSL loop that you want to examine, and select Resources associated with loop > Include non-reporting resources. The display that appears shows the loop resource and all the "HSL I/O Bridge" and all the "Remote HSL NIC" resources connected to the loop.
  4. Perform the following for each HSL I/O Bridge resource on the display:
    1. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O Bridge resource and select Associated packaging resource(s).
    2. Compare the frame ID on the display with the frame ID (in hexadecimal format) that you are looking to find. (Ignore leading zeros.) Are the frame IDs the same?
      • Yes, continue with the next step.
      • No, select Cancel to return to the Logical Hardware Associated with HSL Loops display. Continue with the next step, repeating it for each HSL I/O Bridge under the loop, until you are directed to do otherwise.
  5. Perform the following:
    1. Select Associated logical resource(s).
    2. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O Bridge resource and select Display detail.
    3. Examine the Leading port and Trailing port information. Search the display for the HSL port location label that you recorded prior to starting this procedure. If the label is part of the information for the Leading port, then select Follow leading port. If the label is part of the information for the Trailing port, then select Follow leading port.
    4. Perform the step below that matches the function you selected in the previous step:
      • If you selected Follow leading port, examine the display for the Trailing port information. Record, on the worksheet that you are using, the HSL port location label shown on the "Trailing port from previous resource" line. Record this information as the "To HSL Port Label".
      • If you selected Follow leading port, examine the display for the Leading port information. Record, on the worksheet that you are using, the HSL port location label on the "Leading port to next resource" line. Record this information as the "To HSL Port Label".
    5. Record the "Link type" (Copper or Optical) on the worksheet that you are using in the field describing the cable type.
    6. Select Cancel > Cancel > Cancel to return to the "Logical Hardware Associated With HSL Loops" display.
    7. Record the resource name on the display.
    8. Move the cursor to the resource with the resource name you recorded in step 5.g in Section-8.
    9. Select Associated logical resource(s).
    10. Record the frame ID on the worksheet that you are using for the "To Frame ID".
    11. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
