Network Alarm

Definition

 

 

Cell Starvation

Cell Starvation indicates there are no cells being received from the network side.

 

 

LOF

Loss Of Framing indicates that the framing alignment of the signal coming

 

into the Broadmore 1700 from the ATM side has been lost.

 

 

AIS

This alarm indicates an Alarm Indication Signal is being received from the

 

network side. When a network element receives a loss of signal, it is

 

supposed to propagate an AIS alarm on its output. If this alarm is active, then

 

an AIS alarm is being propagated to it. An AIS alarm is a validly framed DS3

 

signal consisting of a repeated 1010 data pattern.

 

 

Idle

An idle alarm means that an idle signal (validly framed DS3 signal with a

 

repeated 1100 signal) is being detected on the network side.

 

 

RAI

The Remote Alarm Indicator (also known as a Yellow Alarm) is transmitted

 

by setting the X bits to zero. This particular alarm indicates that a Yellow

 

alarm has been sent across the ATM network and is being received by this

 

DS3 port. In the DS3 port configuration screen, you can select the Network

 

and Service side RAI as Auto, 1, or 0. Selecting “0” will cause the network

 

RAI alarm to be activated, if the user has not selected to Ignore it.

 

 

FEAC

Far End Alarm and Control Channel.
