On the first page of the Alarm Reporting Options Form, the user selects the alarm
severity options for station alarms, the four trunk alarm severity groups, the
adjunct alarms, off-board DS1 alarms, and other off-board alarms. On the second
page, known as the Alarm Reporting Options Form, the user assigns an alarm
severity group to each trunk group. This feature enables the technician to reduce
the level of alarms reported for on-board or off-board trouble conditions.
The following alarm options are available:
Minor
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.
