Major Alarm Inquiry Test (#142)
The Major alarm raised by a UDS1 Interface c ircuit pack ind icates that the
average bit error rate on the DS1 facility is g reater than 1/1000. The Major Alarm
Inquiry Test is used to determine that the received DS1 bit error rate is greater
than 1/1000. The UDS1 Interface circuit pac k takes 10 seconds to recog nize and
report a Major alarm and 10 sec onds to recognize and report that a Major alarm
condition is cleared .
When the UDS1 Interface circuit pac k detects a Major alarm, it will send a
MAJOR-ALARM message to the maintenance software. (32-channel interfaces
send a YELLOW alarm to the far end). After the maintenance software receives a
MAJOR-ALARM message, the Major Alarm Inquiry Test is initiated to confirm the
Major alarm on the UDS1 Interface circuit p ack. The Inquiry Test will be run every
10 minutes until the Major alarm is cleared. The maintenanc e software places all
trunks or ports on the circu it pack in the out-of-service state if the Major alarm
persists for more than 20 minutes.
When the Major alarm is cleared, the maintenance sof tware restores all trunks or
ports on the circuit p ack to their previous servic e state before a Major alarm
occurs.
PASS Neither a Yellow alarm nor a Remote Multiframe Alarm nor a F5 state alarm is
being received from the remote DS1 endpoint.
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 admini ster the UDS1 interface if it is not alread y 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 b oard 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.
