Only appears if an entry in the

generated after the fourth retry has failed; thus, with the retry interval of 2 minutes, an alarm will be
generated approximately 8 minutes after the first failure occurs.)
Valid entries
1 through 10
Alarm Type
Enter the type of alarm to be generated if the AC cannot be initially established, or fails and cannot be
reestablished, and the number of consecutive failures equals the alarm threshold. All AC alarms and the
errors that caused the alarms are recorded in the system's alarm and error log. In addition, a status lamp
associated with an attendant console or phone feature button (ac-alarm) may be used to indicate the AC

Alarm Type field is other than none. Enter the number of times an attempt
Usage
An alarm generates on the first failure if this field is 1.
Usage
Failures that cause critical degradation of service and require
immediate attention.
Failures that cause some degradation of service, but do not render a
crucial portion of the system inoperable. This condition requires
action, but its consequences are not immediate. Problems might be
impairing service to a few trunks or stations or interfering with one
feature across the entire system.
Failures that cause no significant degradation of service or failures
in equipment external to the system. Warning alarms are not
reported to the attendant console or INADS.
The alarm notification may be disabled for this AC.
Usage
Enter y to indicate an attempt is to be made to reestablish an AC that
failed. Auto restoration is available only for an AC that is
established over an ISDN Software Defined Data Network (SDDN)
trunk group. A y in this field is ignored in all other situations.
