Defined
The pack and associated trunk interface are fully disabled. Defined is a place holder until the digital trunk adapter is physically installed in the pSeries computer.
Enabled
The required microcode is loaded and diagnostics are run. The pack cannot be used, however, until you put the relevant channels In Service by using the System Monitor option on the Operations menu.
Inservice
The required microcode is loaded and diagnostics are run (this takes about a minute) and the pack is ready to process calls. The channels are set to Inservice: ready to make or receive calls. This is the normal setting when you are using the system in production.
