Display Card Alarms
Use dspcdalms on the PXM45 to display alarms that have been reported by a service module. If
dspcdalms shows an alarm for one of the following parts of a card, you can cc to that card and execute
one of the applicable command s :
•Line (dsplns and dspln)
•Port (dspports and dspport)
•Feeder (dspfdr, dspfdrs, and dspfdrstat)
•Connection (dspcons and dspcon)
In addition to the preceding, o n t h e AX S M y ou c an al s o execut e dspa lm and dspalms.
The definition of each alarm severity comes from Bellcore TR-NWT-000474. An alarm can be:
•Critical, indicating complete, non-recoverable failure, loss of data, and do on. The failed entity m ust
be restored. A power failure or a disc onn ect ed line is an example.
•Major, indicating service-affecting e rrors. This event indicates that a m aj or se rv ic e i s d ama ged or
lost, but the existing traffic is no t a ffected.
•Minor, indicating non-service affecting errors or errors on a remote node. Corrective action is
appropriate to prevent a serious fault from developing. An example is a fan failure, where no
subscribers are immediat ely affected, but calamity co uld result if the situatio n persists. Note that an
accumulation of lower-level alarms does eq ua l a h igher-level alarm.
The dspcdalms command is part of a hierarchy of troubleshooting commands you can execute on the
PXM45 or a service module. Frequently, dspcdalms follows the higher-level command dspndalms.
