Administrtion of TTY ports through LD17 is covered on page 466 of document 553-3001-311 Meridian 1 Software Input/Output Guide Administration

If nothing has changed in the programing of the TTY port then you might be more interested in the TTY maintenance load... LD37 page 199 of document 553-3001-511 Meridian 1 Software Input/Output Guide Maintenance

If you don't have either of these you can download them from the Nortel website... see sticky at top of forum.

Here are the LD37 commands...

CDSP Clear the maintenance display on active CPU to 00 or blank
CMIN Clear the minor lamp on a system basis
CMIN ALL Clear minor alarm indication on all attendant consoles
DIS MSG Disable incoming message monitoring for the primary PMSI port.
DIS MSGO Disable outgoing message monitoring for the primary PMSI port.
DIS MSI x Disable Mass Storage Interface card x (not valid on Option 11C)
DIS PRT x Disable printer x
DIS TTY x Disable TTY x. (valid only for Card 0 Port 0 TTY on Option 11C systems)
END Clear all test activity
ENL MSGI Enable incoming message monitoring for the primary PMSI port.
ENL MSGO Enable outgoing message monitoring for the primary PMSI port.
ENL MSI x Enable Mass Storage Interface x
ENL PRT x Enable printer x
ENL TTY x Enable TTY x
MSI x Test Mass Storage unit x (not valid on Option 11C)
MSI DATA Test data validity in primary and backup device. (not valid on Option 11C)
MSI RW x Test READ/WRITE ability of Mass Storage unit x. (not valid on Option 11C)
MSI SELF x Perform self-test on MSI card x and report result .(not valid on Option 11C)

This applies to the primary PMSI port.

STAT LINK Provide status of all CDR links
STAT LINK x Provide status of CDR data link x
STAT MON Get the monitoring status for the primary PMSI port.
This command displays the status of the message monitoring for the primary
port. For example, if MSGI, MSGO, and SET MON 0 are enabled, the
display would be as follows.
MSGI:ON MSGO: ON ALPH
STAT MSI Provide status of all MSI cards
STAT MSI x Provide status of MSI card x
STAT PRT Provide status of all printers in system
STAT PRT x Provide status of printer x

This command enables you to get the status of the primary PMSI I/O port,
and the Single Terminal Access (STA) administration terminal.

This command also provides the status of the primary PMSI port.

VERY impressive slag.. referencing all ur documents and all...

Thanks so much, that really helped.

I looked through the otm logs and found that it was using tty5.

I then ld37 and issued the command stat tty.

I found out that for some reason the tty 5 was disabled.
All i had to do to reenable it was ENL TTY 5

Now works fine.

Is there any way the switch can disable the port on its own without issuing a command to disable it manually ?

Thanks again

Yup, if it detects various anomalies on the TTY (noise etc) it can disable the TTY which is usually accompamied by an IODyyy x (yyy=code x=port number) fault code to the history file / maint console.
