SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OUTLINE

2.5Fault Detecting Function

The system finds a fault by its fault detecting circuit and the fault detecting program. Once a fault occurs, the system initiates a remedial action such as system changeover, make-busy setting, or restart processing by the automatic diagnosis function. This action reduces the influence of the fault so that system servicing may be minimized. The result of the process taken and the fault situation are indicated for equipment concerned.

Among the faults, those related to speech path (noise, one-way speech, speech inability, etc.) are not detectable. Since these fault reports are to be obtained from a station or operator, periodic trunk tests must be performed without failure to detect the faults related to speech path.

Figure 2-13shows an outline of fault detection, and Figure 2-14shows a block diagram of fault detection.
