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 UDS1 Interfac e circuit pac k is unable to
derive the synchronization cloc k from the DS1 facility. When the UDS1 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.
When the Loss of Signal alarm is confirmed, the maintenanc e software places all
trunks or ports of the UDS1 Interface c ircuit pack into the out-of-servi ce state.
The inquiry test will run every 10 minutes until the loss of signal has been
restored.
The UDS1 Interface circuit pac k raises a Loss of Signal alarm after the sig nal has
been lost for about 1 sec ond. It will not retire the alarm until the signal has
returned for about 10 second s.
PASS All administered trunks or ports of the UDS1 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. Ensure that the board translations are correct. Execute the add ds1
UUCSS command to administer the UDS1 interface if it is not already
administered.
2. If the board was already administered correctly, check the error log to
determine whether 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, then 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.
