Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting errors in communication networks are described. When an interface component is potentially defective, a rules engine performs diagnostic testing to determine if the interface component is defective. During diagnostics, the rules engine tests a protection interface card to determine if it is defective before determining if the interface component is defective.
