INADS (INADS Link)
INADS Link Test (no test number)
The INADS Link Test attempts to place a call to INADS (in the background) to
verify the communications link to INADS. When the test inads-link command is
issued, the user immediately sees either the Command successfully
completed or Command failed message. When a previously run command is
entered, the user immediately sees either Command successfully
completed or Command failed. The Command failed message appears
when a previously run test inads-link command is in progress or the system has
active alarms which must be reported to INADS. The Command successfully
completed means the switch will start the attempt to call INADS in two minutes
(the test still runs even if Alarm Origination is disabled). The two-minute delay
allows a remote INADS technician time enough to hang up the call and thus free
up the INADS line so that the switch can call INADS back. As error conditions are
encountered, errors are logged against INADS. Error codes 1 through 9 can be
logged if the test result was Command successfully completed and Error
Codes 10 and 11 can be logged if the test result was Command failed. An error
is also logged against INADS if the call to INADS finally succeeds. The INADS
software (release 3.2 or later) recognizes this special "test inads" type of alarm
and automatically opens and then closes a trouble ticket which indicates that the
reason for the trouble ticket is a command is in progress or the system has active
alarms which must be reported to INADS. The Command successfully
completed means the switch will start the attempt to call INADS in two minutes
(the test still runs even if Alarm Origination is disabled). The two-minute delay
allows a remote INADS technician time enough to hang up the call and thus free
up the INADS line so that the switch can call INADS back. As error conditions are
encountered, errors are logged against INADS. Error codes 1 through 9 can be
logged if the test result was Command successfully completed and Error
Codes 10 and 11 can be logged if the test result was Command failed. An error

software (release 3.2 or later) recognizes this special "test inads" type of alarm
and automatically opens and then closes a trouble ticket which indicates that the
reason for the trouble ticket is a test inads-link command. The trouble ticket
alarm contains a TESTING INADS LINK description field.
After entering the command, it may take as long a nine minutes for the switch to
place the call and for INADS to respond. The Error Log should be examined (use
the category inads) 10 minutes after successfully entering the command to
determine if the call was successful.
