Description
Network Management System (NMS) Address: This
option sets the ACP address (which is the address of the
PC that will receive the alarms). Though this address is
significant for Node Manager, it is not important for the
ASCII interface.
Card Alarm Reporting: Use this option to enable or
disable cards from sending alarms.
Configure Thresholds: To disable any or all alarm
conditions, enter a threshold value of 0. To enable a
condition, specify any non-zero threshold value.
Alarm Status: Displays the counts and intervals of the
LOF, LOS, RAI, AIS, BPV, ES, and SES registers.
Reset Counters: Restarts the values of the LOF, LOS, RAI,
AIS, BPV, ES 15 minute, ES 24 hours, SES 15 minute, and
SES 24 hour threshold counters. It resets their values to
0.
Exit the Net Port Alarm Threshold Status Menu
Disable/Enable Alarm Monitor: Use this option to either
activate or deactivate monitoring card alarms.
Display Alarm Buffer: Displays a major or minor alarm.
• Minor: These alarms do not affect traffic along the E1
line.
• Major: These alarms indicate a condition where
performance is seriously affected, for example, an E1
line failure. It prevents data from being reliably
transmitted across the circuit.
This option also indicates any alarms that have been
cleared.
Set Default Thresholds: Use this option to load the
factory default threshold settings.
Exit the Net Port Alarm Menu
The Performance/Status Menu reflects the industry E1 standard
thresholds. Use the Net Port Alarm Threshold Configuration
Menu to set your own alarm thresholds and intervals in addition to
the above standards.
To view and modify the alarm thresholds, enter "C" from the Net
Port Alarm Menu to display the Net Port Alarm Threshold
Configuration Menu. Use this menu to set the monitoring interval
for several types of alarms and the alarm threshold for errored
seconds within the monitoring interval.
For example, if the LOF interval is set to 100 seconds, and the LOF
threshold is set to 5 seconds, then an alarm is sent if more than 5
errored seconds occur during a 100-second interval. The errored
count resets to zero after the end of the interval, unless there is an
