Major Alarm Inquiry Test (#142)

The Major alarm raised by a DS1-MM Interface Media Module indicates that the average bit error
rate on the DS1 facility is greater than 1/1000. The Major Alarm Inquiry Test is used to determine
that the received DS1 bit error rate is greater than 1/1000. The MG-DS1 Interface Media Module
takes 10 seconds to recognize and report a Major alarm and 10 seconds to recognize and report that a
Major alarm condition is cleared.
When the DS1-MM Interface Media Module detects a Major alarm, it sends a MAJOR-ALARM
message to the maintenance software. (32-channel interfaces send a YELLOW alarm to the far end).
After the maintenance software receives a MAJOR-ALARM message, the Major Alarm Inquiry Test
is initiated to confirm the Major alarm on the DS1-MM Interface Media Module. The Inquiry Test
runs every 10 minutes until the Major alarm is cleared. The maintenance software places all trunks or
ports on the Media Module in the out-of-service state if the Major alarm persists for more than 20
minutes.
When the Major alarm is cleared, the maintenance software restores all trunks or ports on the Media
Module to their previous service state before a Major alarm occurs.

Test Description/ Recommendation
Result
NO The test could not relate the internal ID to the port (no board). This
BOARD could be due to incorrect translations, no board is inserted, an
incorrect board is inserted, or an insane board is inserted.
Ensure that the board translations are correct. Execute the add ds1
GGGVS command to administer the DS1-MM interface if it is not
already administered.
If the board was already administered correctly, check the error log
to determine whether the board is hyperactive. If this is the case, the
board is shut down. Reseating the board will re-initialize the board.
If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, then issue
the busyout board command.
Issue the reset board command.
Issue the release busy board command.
Issue the test board long command.
This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the
port.
