Manually decommission an EIOC

Performing these manual steps resets the EIOC and the non-volatile memory within the Ethernet Isolation Ports to the default decommissioned state.

  1. Unplug the primary and secondary Ethernet Isolation Ports from the carrier.
  2. Remove both EIOCs from the carrier and install them in the opposite slots: move the EIOC in the right slot to the left slot and the EIOC in the left slot to the right slot.
  3. Wait one or two minutes for the EIOC to boot up.
  4. Plug the primary and secondary Ethernet Isolation Ports into their original locations.
    Note

    This procedure can be useful in the rare case that a new database has been brought online or the EIOC has been removed from one Area Control Network and placed on another Area Control Network before it was decommissioned.
