Syntax

undo alarm { detect generate { ais febe idle rai } }

View

CT3 interface view

Parameter

detect: Enables/disables periodical alarm signal detection. By default, periodical

 

alarm detection is enabled.

 

generate: Sends alarm signals, which can be AIS, RAI, idle, or FEBE for line state

 

test. By default, alarm signal sending is disabled.

 

ais: Alarm indication signal.

 

febe: Far end block error signal.

 

idle: Idle signal.

 

rai: Remote alarm indication signal.

Description

Use the alarm command to enable the CT3 interface to detect/send alarm

 

signals.

 

Use the undo alarm command to remove the alarm signal detection/sending

 

setting.

 

At the startup of your device, periodical alarm signal detection is enabled on the

 

CT3 interface. When detecting LOS, LOF, or AIS signals, the interface sends RAI

 

signals to its peer. Alarm state report for the interface is real time; you may view

 

that by performing the display controller t3 command.

 

The supported alarm signals, LOS, LOF, AIS, RAI, FEBE, and idle, are ANSI

 

T1.107-1995 compliant.

 

You can only configure the CT3 interface to send a type of alarm signal. To have

 

the interface send another type of signal, use the undo alarm command to

 

remove the previous setting first. In addition, when the RAI signal generated upon

 

detection of the LOS, LOF, or AIS signal is present, the CT3 interface cannot send

 

another type of signal. To do that, use the undo alarm detect command to

 

disable the CT3 interface to send the RAI signal generated after detecting an

 

alarm first.
