8-288 Issue 4 May 2002
Minor
Maintenance testing discovers raised alarms, downgrades them to
minor alarms, and deactivates alarmed resources. LEDs on the port
board and maintenance board follow standard minor alarm LED
protocol and call receiving OSSs.
Warning
Maintenance testing discovers raised alarms, downgrades them to
warnings and deactivates alarmed resources. The Alarm Log
pinpoints customer-reported trunk or station problems. Alarm LEDs
light on the port circuit pack and Maintenance circuit pack as before,
but no attendant LEDs or stations reporting alarms are affected. No
call is placed to INADS.
Report
The report option treats alarms the same as warnings with one
exception: alarms report to INADS with a special WARNING
category. When this type of alarm is received, INADS logs the
occurrence and creates a trouble ticket or closes it immediately.
Retry strategy for this type of call 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 raise normally without filtering alarm data.
No
Alarms that raise on trunks, stations, or adjuncts in this category
drop. Error information displays as before, but alarm is evident. LED
is inactive and calls are not sent to INADS. Because resources are
deactivated without any record, this option is recommended only
when other options do not provide desired results.
