    nChapter 4, ‘‘Initialization and Recovery’’, describes the various reset and 
    reboot processes and how these are used to perform maintenance and 
    recover systems or subsystems that are out of service. Use of the terminal 
    SPE-down interface on non-functional or standby Switch Processor 
    Elements is included here.
    nChapter 5, ‘‘Responding to Alarms and Errors’’, describes general repair 
    procedures such as replacing circuit packs and special troubleshooting 
    procedures such as those for fiber link and packet bus faults.
    nChapter 6, ‘‘Additional Maintenance Procedures’’, describes preventive 
    maintenance, software updates and other procedures not associated with 
    specific alarms or components.
    nChapter 7, ‘‘LED Indicators’’, is a guide to interpreting indications given by 
    circuit pack and attendant console LEDs.
    nChapter 8, ‘‘Maintenance Commands’’, contains a description of each 
    maintenance command available through the management terminal. The 
    commands are ordered alphabetically. A general description of command 
    syntax and conventions appears at the beginning of the chapter.
    nChapter 9, ‘‘Maintenance Object Repair Procedures’’, contains specific 
    troubleshooting and repair instructions for every component in the system. 
    The maintenance objects are listed alphabetically by name as they 
    appear in the Alarm and Error Logs. Under each maintenance object

    1Maintenance Architecture
    The maintenance subsystem is that part of the software that is responsible for 
    initializing and maintaining the system. This software continuously monitors 
    system health and maintains a record of errors detected in the system. The 
    maintenance subsystem also provides a user interface for on-demand testing.
    This chapter provides a brief description of the R6r maintenance strategy, and 
    presents background information on the system’s overall functions. For detailed 
    descriptions of components and subsystems, refer to related topics in Chapter 9, 
    ‘‘Maintenance Object Repair Procedures’’. Sections on the following MOs are 
    particularly useful for gaining an understanding of how the system works:
    nSTBY-SPE
    nPNC-DUP
    nEXP-PN
    nSNI-BD
    nDUP-INT

    — All features allowed
    — Standard capacities
    — Standard priced hardware 
    only
    nCategory B refers to the cost and efficiency configurations with either 
    standard or value priced hardware and a reduced customer options and 
    feature set (highlights).
    — Standard or value priced hardware:
    — No ASAI
    — No CDS
    — No multimedia
    — Limited Call Center
    — No remote access
    — No extension number portability
    — Reduced capacities
    The offer category along with the model determines feature “set” as well as the 
    allowed hardware and capacities.
    Offer Security
    Several security considerations have been added to protect the offer categories 
    and the associated hardware.
    nOnce translations for a Category A system have been entered, they 
    cannot be changed to Category B. Migrating from Category A to Category 
    B requires a complete retranslation of circuit packs and software.
    nStandard-priced hardware is required for all Category A systems.
    — Category A allows administering value-priced hardware (for 
    example, TN791, TN2214, and TN2215), but it will not function.
    NOTE:
    The Terranova system management software graphically represents 
    the system configuration, including all line boards. This product 
    must be modified to support the new valued-priced board types 
    described above.Standard Value Function

    Initialization
    At initialization, the system provides only the System-parameters offer-option 
    screen; all other screen forms are disabled until the offer category is both 
    administered and activated in the system. See ‘‘
    Initialization’’ in Chapter 4, 
    ‘‘Initialization and Recovery’’ for more information.
    Password/System Security
    DEFINITY uses two software products to secure the switch’s administration and 
    maintenance ports. While these ports help customers and technicians alike, they 
    also provide potential access to hackers, whose activities can result in 
    unauthorized use of network facilities and theft of long distance services.
    Remote Port Security Device (RPSD)
    The RPSD software works with DEFINITY ECS (prior to Release 6.2) and  
    DEFINITY Communications Systems; System 75 (V2 or higher) and System 85;  
    DIMENSION PBX Systems; the AUDIX, DEFINITY AUDIX, and AUDIX Voice 
    Power Systems; and all System Management products. For details on RPSD, see 
    the 
    BCS Products Security Handbook, 555-025-600 or the DEFINITY 
    Communications Systems Remote Port Security Device User’s Manual
    , 
    555-025-400.
    Softlock
    Beginning with DEFINITY ECS Release 6.2 and higher, SoftLock (also referred to 
    as the Integrated Lock for the Security Toolkit) can be purchased and 
    installed in 
    the DEFINITY software base
    . SoftLock is a centralized access interface that uses 
    a challenge/response protocol to verify the authenticity of a user and to reduce 
    the opportunity for unauthorized access. Topics covered in this section are:
    n‘‘Locking administered passwords’’
    n‘‘Init logins’’
    n‘‘INADS and craft logins’’
    Locking administered passwords
    !CAUTION:
    While SoftLock is embedded in the DEFINITY ECS system, the feature is not 
    customer-accessible until Release 6.3. This information is provided to alert 
    technicians of the possiblity of locking all administered passwords on a 
    customer’s system.
    Page 2 of the Change System-parameters Customer-options form contains a 
    SoftLock? field with a default of n, as shown in the screen below. 
    Do not 
    change this field.
