Minor Alarm Inquiry Test (#143)
The Minor alarm raised by a UDS1 Interface c ircuit pack indi cates that the
average bit error rate on the DS1 facility is g reater than 1/1,000,000, but less than
1/1000. The Minor Alarm Inquiry Test is used to determine that the rec eived DS1
bit error rate is greater than 1/1,000,000 and less than 1/1000. When D4 framing
mode is selected, the UDS1 Interface circuit pa ck takes 41-minutes to recogniz e
and report a Minor alarm and 41-minutes to recognize and rep ort that a Minor
alarm condition has cleared . If ESF framing mode is selected, the UDS1 Interface
circuit pack tak es 10 minutes to recognize and rep ort a Minor alarm and 10
minutes to recognize and rep ort that a Minor alarm conditi on has cleared.
When the UDS1 Interface circuit pac k detects a Minor alarm c ondition, it will
send a MINOR-ALARM message to the maintenance software. After th e
maintenance software receives a MINOR-ALARM message, the Minor Alar m
Inquiry Test is initiated to confirm the Minor alarm. All trunks or ports on the circuit
pack are kept in the in-serv ice state after the Minor alarm is c onfirmed. The Minor
Alarm Inquiry Test is run every 10 minutes until the Minor alarm is c leared.
PASS No Major alarm is detected in the UDS1 Interface circuit pack.
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.
