Blue Alarm Inquiry Test (#139)
The Blue Alarm is a signal sent by the remote DS1 endp oint when it is
out-of-service. The Blue Alarm Inquiry Test checks the b lue alarm status of the
remote DS1 endpoint.
When the DS1 Interface circuit pack d etects a Blue Alarm signal from the remote
DS1 endpoint, the circuit p ack will transmit a Yellow alarm to the remote DS1
endpoint and send a BLUE ALARM message to the maintenance software. When
the Blue alarm is confirmed, t he maintenance software places all trunks of the
DS1 Interface circuit pac k into the out-of-service state. The inquiry test will b e run
every 10 minutes until the Blue alarm is cleared .
The DS1 Interface circuit pac k takes 2 seconds to recogniz e and report a Blue
alarm and 16 seconds to recognize and report th e resolution of a Blue alarm.
When the Blue alarm is cleared, the DS1 Interface circuit pack stops transmitting
the Yellow alarm and places the trunks bac k into the service state before the Blue
alarm occurs.
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 incorrec t
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 was 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 link between the internal ID and the port.
