On the command line, specify a time-out duration between one and 72 hours.
The “off-board-only” keyword is optional; if the keyword is not specified, the entry
suspends Alarm Origination for both on-and off-board alarms. Each enable
command becomes a new entry or replaces an existing entry in the Suspend
Alarm Origination table. A new entry that matches both the physical location and
off-only/on- and off-board specifications of an active entry replaces the active
entry in the Suspend Alarm Origination table.
This command may be particularly useful for improving control over situations
such as the following:
■ Improved control over customer requests. For example, to suspend
off-board DS1 alarms temporarily for customers that periodically
disconnect DS1 trunks for testing or other business related purposes.
■ Improved control over external (non-Lucent) problems. For example, to
suspend off-board DS1 alarms before a customer resolves facility
problems (such as working with the vendor of a T1 trunk that has
developed an off-board condition).
■ Improved control over internal (Lucent) problems that we cannot resolve
right away. For example, to suspend Alarm Origination for a bad circuit
pack detected late Friday night and we cannot dispatch personnel to
replace the circuit pack until well into Monday.
■ Improved control over chronic problems that we have not yet found a
solution to.
NOTE:
Also see other Suspend Alarm Origination related commands, including
“disable suspend-alm-orig” and “list suspend-alm-orig”.
Defaults
This command enables Suspend Alarm Origination for both on- and off-board
alarms if the “off-board-only” keyword is not specified.
