Loss of Signal Alarm Inquiry Test (#138)
This test verifies the synchronization status and co ntinuity of the DS1 link. The Loss of Signal alarm indicates that the DS1 Interface circuit pac k is unable to derive the synchronization cloc k from the DS1 facility. When the DS1 Interface circuit pac k detects a Loss of Signal alar m, it stops providing the synchronization clock for the system if it is administered as a timing source and transmits a Ye llow alarm to the remote DS1 endpoint.
FAIL DS1 Interface circuit pack failed in the Internal Looparound Test.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
2. If the DS1 Interface circuit pack is TN767, enter the list measurement
ds1-log UUCSS command to read the error seconds measurement.
Otherwise, skip this step .
3. Verify that both endpoints of the DS1 link are administered using the same
signaling mode, framing mode, and line coding.
4. Check the physical connectivity of DS1 Interface circuit pac ks and cable.
5. Contact T1 Network Service to diagnose remote DS1 endpoint.
6. If all of the above are OK, escalate this problem.
PASS All administered trunks of DS1 Interface circuit pack pass the Internal
Looparound Test. The bit pattern consistency test is executed successfully
over the path that covers a DS1 port, cable, and the external NCTE device.
0NO
BOARD The test could not relate the internal ID to the port (no board).
This could be due to incorrect translations, no board is inserted, an incorrect
board is inserted, or an insane board is inserted.
1. Check to ensure that the board translations are correct. Use the add ds1
UUCSS command to administer the DS1 interface if it is not already
administered.
2. If board wa s already administered correctly, check the error log to
determine if the board is hyperactive. If this is the case, the board is shut
down. Reseating the board will re-initialize the board.
3. If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, issue the
busyout board command.
4. Issue the reset board command.
5. Issue the release busy board command.
6. Issue the test board long command.
This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the port.
