7. Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Alarms

The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer to display or print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC that is using a terminal emulation package.

For standalone DSU/CSUs, you can route these alarms to the MODEM port, the COM port, or both. For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, you can route them to the COM port or dial them out using an external device.

Each alarm message contains a customer identification to indicate which remote DSU/CSU is reporting an alarm. For information about customer identification, refer to Displaying Unit Identity in Chapter 3, Using the Front Panel.

Possible alarm messages are as follows:

Alarm Cleared. Alarm Indication Signal at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Alarm Cleared. An Excessive Error Rate at the Network

Interface.

Alarm Cleared. An Excessive Error Rate at synchronous data port n (where n is the port number).

Alarm Cleared. Loss Of Signal condition at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Alarm Cleared. Out Of Frame condition at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Alarm Cleared. Out Of Frame condition at synchronous data port n (where n is the port number).

Alarm Cleared. Yellow Alarm signal at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Alarm Indication Signal received at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

An Excessive Error Rate has been detected at the Network

Interface.

An Excessive Error Rate has been detected at synchronous data port n (where n is the port number).

Continuous Loss Of Signal detected at the x Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Continuous Out Of Frame condition detected at the x

Interface (where x is either Network or DTE).

Continuous Out Of Frame condition detected at synchronous

Tdata port n (where n is the port number).

Yellow Alarm signal received at the x Interface

(where x is either Network or DTE).
