Group II errors

Group II alarms occur when an alarm persists for a predefined period. The alarm is considered cleared when it does not occurred for a predefined period.

See Table 11 for incoming-signal Group II errors listed from highest to lowest priority. Group II errors are ordered by priority; when a high priority error exists, any errors of lower priority are irrelevant.

Table 11 Incoming signal errors

Alarm

Cause

 

 

Loss of Signal (LOS)

No reception of incoming electrical signal on the line (cable cut or

 

removed).

 

 

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)

Reception of incoming signal is all ones. Usually indicates that the

 

far-end is out-of-service

 

 

Out-of-Frame (OOF)

No detection of Frame Alignment Signal. The incoming signal is

 

corrupted. This alarm is also known as Loss of Frame (LFA).

 

 

Out Of Multiframe TS16 -

No detection of Multiframe Alignment Signal. When this alarm is active,

(OOMTS16)

Channel Associated Signaling (R2) is impossible. This alarm is not

 

applicable to the PRI (internal link). This alarm is also known as Loss of

 

Multiframe Alignment - (LMA).

 

 

Alarm Indication Signal in TS16

Reception of AIS is all ones in TS16. This is an optional alarm. It can be

(AISTS16)

enabled or disabled in configuration. By default, this option is off. When

 

this alarm is active, any signaling on TS16 is impossible.

Loss of CRC-4 Multiframe

CRC-4 multiframe cannot be recognized. When this alarm is active,

Alignment (OOM)

CRC-4 errors (of group I) cannot be measured. This alarm is relevant

 

only when CRC-4 multiframe mode is used.

 

 

Remote Alarm Indication (RAI)

Indication that the far-end has trouble with its incoming signal. This

 

alarm is also known as yellow alarm.

 

 

Remote Alarm Indication TS16

Indication that the far-nd has lost TS16 multiframe alignment on its

(RAITS16)

incoming signal.

 

This alarm is not applicable to PRI (internal link).

 

 

Alarms propagation

This section describes the actions taken when alarms occur or stop. When alarms occur, the far-end is alerted by a remote alarm indication, and an alarm is transmitted on the opposite link. Table 12 table shows the reactions for Group I alarms when they enter the Out-Of-Service (OOS) state.
