Set Date
Verify the current date. Do this by entering the Set Date (S D)
command. The MMI then displays the date it has registered. Enter a
new date or hit Enter to leave it unchanged. The date is entered in the
"mm/dd/yy" format.
Set Alarm
The Set Alarm (S A) command sets the parameters by which an alarm
is activated and the duration of the alarm after it is activated. Thereare
three alarm levels as described below:
• AlarmLevel 0 (AL0) consists of activity with an error threshold below the
AL1 setting, which is a satisfactory condition and noalar m is activated.
•Alarm Level 1 (AL1) consists of activity with an error threshold above
the AL1 setting, but below the AL2 setting that is deemed to be of minor
importance. In this situation, the external alarm hardware is activated
by closing the normally open contact, the RED ALARM LED on the
faceplate lights, and an alarm message is created in the alarm log and
the MMI terminal.
•Alarm Level 2 (AL2) consists of activity with an error threshold above
the AL2 setting which is deemed to be of major importance. In this
situation, the following happens:
— the external alarm hardware is activated by closing the normally
open contact
— the RED ALARM LED on the faceplate lights
— an alarm message is created in the alarm log and the MMI terminal
— the LEI card enters line-conditioning mode
— a yellow alarm message is sent to the CPE/LTU
Line processing sends the CS 1000E, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 either all
"on-hook" or all "off-hook" signals, depending on the dip switch setting of
the card. See Table 118 "LEI card - E1 Switch 2 (S2) dip switch settings"
(page 279).
When the Set Alarm command is selected, the prompt appears for setting
the threshold level and duration foralar m levels1 and 2.
The E1 link processes at a rate of approximately 2.0 mb/s. The threshold
value indicates the ratio of the total number of bits that must be detected
as being in error per second before the LEI activates an alarm. It can be
set between 3 and 9 and can be different for each alarm level. Any other
value entered causes the MMI to display a "Parameter Invalid"
message. The digit entered as the threshold value is a number representing
a negative power of 10 as shown in Table125 "E1 bit error rate threshold
settings" (page 299).
