Procedure; Enabling And Disabling Vtbm Tic Vt1.5 Alarms - Nortel SONET AccessNode Manual

4-2 Preparing for system integration

Procedure 4-1

Enabling and disabling VTBM TIC VT1.5 alarms

Use this procedure to enable or disable VTBM VT1.5 facility alarms that are
associated with the transport interface card (TIC) facility. The procedure also
describes how to enable synchronous transport signal-1 (STS-1) and VT1.5
facility alarms for connections terminating at the TIC.
When the default STS-1 map is invoked, it creates STS-1 and VT1.5
connections to the TIC. STS-1 and VT1.5 alarms are enabled by default when
an STS-1 or VT1.5 connection is added. If any of these connections are not
going to be used, then disable alarms associated with unused STS-1s and
VT1.5s.
AccessNode Vol 3B 323-3001-221 Issue 2.0
Note: A preferred alternative to disabling alarms for unused VT1.5s is to
take the VT1.5s out of service. This prevents unnecessary alarms from
being raised. See the procedure for changing a facility operating state in
Provisioning and Operations Procedures, 323-3001-310 in the
Operations, Administration, and Provisioning Guide, Volume 4B.
