Yellow Alarm Inquiry Test (#141)
Receiving a Yellow alarm from remote DS1 endpoint indicates that th e remote
DS1 endpoint has an out-of-frame cond ition. The Yellow Alarm Inquiry Test is
used to determine whether the remote DS1 endp oint is transmitting a Yellow
alarm. The UDS1 Interface circuit pac k takes 500 msec to recognize a nd report a
Yellow alarm and 500 msec to recognize and report that a Yellow alarm condition
is cleared.
When the UDS1 Interface circuit pac k detects a Yellow alarm from the remote
DS1 endpoint, it will send a YELLOW-ALARM uplink message to the
maintenance software. After the maintenance software rec eives the
YELLOW-ALARM message, the Yellow Alarm Inquiry Test is run to confirm the
Yellow alarm. Once the Yellow alarm is confirmed, the maintenance software
places all trunks or por ts on the circuit pac k into the out-of-service state. The
Inquiry Test will be run every 10 minutes until the Yellow alarm is cleared.
When the Yellow alarm is cleared, the maintenance software restores all trunks or
ports on the UDS1 Interface circ uit pack bac k to their previous service state
before the Yellow alarm was raised.
PASS No Red alarm is detected on the UDS1 Interface circuit pack.

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 correc tly 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.
