Solution

Recovery steps:

NOTE: The V2X is stating the link is down, not that it has dropped the link.  90% of these events are caused by something external to the subsystem.

1. Attempt to reestablish the link with CESTPATH command including all links.  If successful, monitor for re-occurrence.
  
2. If the link can not be established, contact the vendor of the network between the two units.  Contact Oracle to review the status of both the V2X that posted the SIM and the secondary V2X.
