226 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
This section describes the features of MMI and explains how to configure
and use the MMI firmware.
The MMI provides the following maintenance features:
•
default and reconfigurable alarm parameters
•
notification of T1 link problems by activating alarms
•
Reports on current and historical T1 link performance
•
T1 tests for T1 verification and fault isolation to Lineside T1 card, T1 link,
or CPE equipment
The Man-Machine Interface (MMI) supplies a maintenance interface to a
terminal that provides T1 link diagnostics and historical information. See
"Installation and configuration" (page 188) for instructions on how to install
the cabling and configure the terminal for the MMI.

Alarms
MMI activates alarms for the following T1 link conditions:
•
excessive bit error rate
•
frame slip errors
•
out of frame condition
•
loss of signal condition
•
blue alarm condition
The alarms are activated in response to pre-set thresholds and error
durations. Descriptions of each of these T1 link alarm conditions,
instructions on how to configure alarm parameters, and access alarm
reporting can be found in "Alarm operation and reporting" (page 243).
Two levels of alarm severity exist for bit errors and frame slip errors. For
these conditions, two different threshold and duration configurations are
established.
