    encountered and the system is shutting down. Once the disk is
    spun down, the display becomes steadily lit. Flashware
    continues to execute. Can also be entered when:
    Board tests have failed and the red LED is lit.
    Flashware or software has failed to initialize and has shut
    down.
    A maintenance shutdown was directed and an operational
    error occurs. For instance, the Faceplate and Alarm Panel
    (FAC) timed out on the transition of the MFB to the
    M_SHUT state.
    On a running system, maintenance software detects a
    condition requiring an error shutdown.
    When in this state, the system can be powered down and
    removed from the switch carrier for repair.

    Common types of console terminals are used for both switch and local DEFINITY
    LAN Gateway maintenance, allowing the same baud rates and parity to be used.
    Although a local maintenance terminal is optional, it does need to be available for
    installation and troubleshooting.  A remote maintenance terminal may also be
    used.
    Figure 4-4, Available Terminal Connections to a DEFINITY LAN Gateway
    System, summarizes the terminal configurations available with the system.

    Maintenance Login Procedurebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    This is not a procedure. Please supply. If you cannot log in, first check
    terminal power, connections, settings, and modem speed if you are connected
    via a modem. If the modem appears to be locked up, type * @ ; this may fix the
    remote access problem. If you still cannot reach the DEFINITY LAN Gateway
    system, call the switch administrator. Is the switch working? Can the
    administrator call into the system? A technician may have to be dispatched to the
    site.
    Maintenance Proceduresbbbbbbbb
    Replacing the Circuit Packsbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    Refer to Figure 4-5 and follow the steps listed below to replace the MFB or Alarm
    Board.

    !WARNING:
    Static electricity can be destructive to system parts.  Use an anti-static wrist
    strap whenever removing or installing a DEFINITY AUDIX system. Also use
    an anti-static mat when taking the system apart to replace circuit packs or
    storage devices.
    1. Ensure that the customer knows you will be powering down the system
    and disrupting service.
    2. If it is not already shut down, bring the system to the MSHUT state.
    (From the Main Menu, select Maintenance, Reset System, and then
    Shutdown.)

    3. Unsnap the two gang latches at the bottom front of the MFB and Alarm
    Board, and swing downward.  Squeeze the boards together and slip off
    the spring clip.
    4. Carefully slide the DEFINITY LAN Gateway system from the switch
    carrier.  Handle with care; the system weighs 6.2 pounds.
    5. Disconnect the Interboard bus cable from the top edge of both boards
    using the pull tab.
    6. Remove the three socket-headed slotted screws that hold the MFB to the
    alarm board.
    7. Separate the two boards. If the alarm Board is to be replaced, remove the
    disk and tape drives from it as described in Replacing the Disk/Tape
    Drive in this chapter.
    Replace the MFB or Alarm Board using the above steps in reverse order.  Note
    the play between the boards when they are together.  This allows the system to
    be easily seated into the switch carrier.
    Cleaning the Tape Headbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    The tape drive requires manual cleaning of its tape heads every three months or
    after every 100 passes. Use the provided kit that includes a cleaning tape
    cartridge, cleaning sticks, and cleaning solution, and follow these steps.
    1. NEED PROCEDURE
    2.
    !CAUTION:
    Ð The cleaning solution is highly volatile. Keep it away from high
    temperatures and direct sunlight.
    Ð Use the specified cleaning solution only. The head may be damaged
    if other types of solutions are used.
    Ð People with sensitive skin should use rubber gloves for protection.
    Ð Do not use broken cleaning sticks with partially detached pads.
    Ð Discared cleaning sticks after four to six uses.  If the device becomes
    extremely dirty, replace the cleaning stick after one use.
    Replacing the Tape Cartridgebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    The DEFINITY LAN Gateway system maintains a count of write passes on a
    working tape cartridge. When this count reaches 150, a warning alarm is raised
    (FROM DEF AUDIX - WHAT TO SUBSTITUTE?) At this point, the cartridge
    should be replaced. The system administrator must do this job.
    1. NEED PROCEDURE
    4-14  Issue 1  January 1996 
    						
    							Maintenancebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    !CAUTION:
    Check that backup tapes are not write-protected; the tab is positioned
    closest to the end of the cartridge (it will cover the deeper inset). On the
    generic tape, ensure that the tab remains in the write-protected position.
    Replacing the Disk/Tape Drivebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    To remove either the disk drive or the tape drive from the Alarm Board, refer
    back to Figure 4-1 and follow the steps below.
    !WARNING:
    Static electricity can be destructive to system parts.  Use an anti-static wrist
    strap whenever removing or installing a DEFINITY AUDIX system. Also use
    an anti-static mat when taking the system apart to replace circuit packs or
    storage devices.
    1. Ensure that the users know you will be powering down the system and
    disrupting service.
    2. If it is not already shut down, bring the system to the MSHUT state.
    (From the Main Menu, select Maintenance, Reset System, and then
    Shutdown.)
    3. Carefully slide the system from the switch carrier. Handle with care; the
    system weighs 6.2 pounds.
    4. Cut loose and remove the tie wrap that holds the power cable and the
    tape drive SCSI bus cable against the Alarm Board.
    5. Disconnect the SCSI bus cable from the Alarm Board that is connected to
    the drive being replaced, using the pull tabs. (This sentence is unclear;
    please clarify.)
    6. As shown in Figure 4-6, unlock each of two retaining pins (B) from the
    slots along the edge of the Alarm Board that hold the drive in place. Slide
    out both pins (C); this releases the drive from the board.
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

    Figure 4-6.  Unlock Retaining Pin
    7. Disconnect the power and SCI bus cables from the drive.
    8. On the tape drive, pry off the stainless steel EMI shield. Note that the
    narrow end of the cover fits over the ridge above the option jumpers; the
    wide end locks over the mounting bracket.
