Alarms are raised as maintenance testing discovers them but the severity
of the alarm is downgraded to a minor. Alarmed resources that would
have normally been taken out of service are still taken out of service. LEDs
on the port board and maintenance board follow the normal Minor alarm
LED strategy and there is a call to the receiving OSS.
■ Warning
Alarms are raised as maintenance testing discovers them, but the severity
of the alarm is downgraded to a warning. The advantage to the technician
here is that the Alarm Log can still be used to pinpoint trunk or station
problems reported by the customer. Alarmed resources that would
normally have been taken out-of-service are still taken out-of-service.
Alarm LEDs light on the port circuit pack and Maintenance circuit pack as
before, but no attendant LEDs or stations reporting alarms are affected.
There is no call to INADS.
■ Report
This option treats the alarms in the same way as the warning category with
one exception: alarms are reported to INADS using a special WARNING
category. When an alarm of this type is received, INADS logs the
occurrence and either creates a trouble ticket or closes it immediately.
The retry strategy for a call of this type is similar to normal Major or Minor
alarm reports. However, the acknowledgment LED on the attendant
console or alarm reporting station does not reflect the status of the call.
■ Yes
Alarms are raised in the normal manner. There is no filtering of alarm data.
■ No
Alarms raised on a trunk, station, or adjunct in this category are dropped.
Error information is provided as before, but there is no trace of an alarm.
There is no LED activity and no call to INADS. Because resources are
taken out-of-service without any record, this option is recommended only
when other options do not provide the desired result.
The alarm options can be administered only on a system-wide basis for the
following alarm categories:
■ Major on-board station alarms
■ Minor on-board station alarms
■ Major off-board station alarms
■ Minor off-board station alarms
Four alarm severity groups are provided for trunk alarms. You can administer the
alarm options for the categories listed below in each alarm severity group.
However, in G1, the alarm options can be administered only on a system-wide
basis for the following categories:
■ Major on-board trunk alarms
