Major Alarm Inquiry Test (#142)
The Major alarm raised by a DS1 Interface circuit pack indicates that the average bit error rate
on the DS1 facility is greater than 1/1000. The Major Alarm Inquiry test is used to determine that
the received DS1 bit error rate is greater than 1/1000. When D4 framing mode is selected, the
DS1 Interface circuit pack takes 16 seconds to recognize and report a Major alarm and 16
seconds to recognize and report that a Major alarm condition is cleared. If ESF framing mode is
selected, the DS1 Interface circuit pack takes 10 seconds to recognize and report a Major alarm
and 10 seconds to recognize and report that a Major alarm condition is cleared.
When the DS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Major alarm, it will send a MAJOR-ALARM
message to the maintenance software. After the maintenance software receives a
MAJOR-ALARM message, the Major Alarm Inquiry test is initiated to confirm the Major alarm on
the DS1 Interface circuit pack. The Inquiry test will be run every 10 minutes until the Major alarm
is cleared. The maintenance software places all trunks on the circuit pack in the out-of-service
state if the Major alarm persists for more than 20 minutes.

NO
BOARD
The test could not relate the internal ID to the port (no board).
This could be due to incorrect translations, no board is inserted, an
incorrect board is inserted, or an insane board is inserted.
1. Verify that the board’s translations are correct. Use add ds1
location to administer the DS1 interface if it is not already
administered.
2. If board was already administered correctly, check the error log to
determine whether the board is hyperactive. If so, the board was shut
down. Reseating the board will re-initialize it.
3. If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, enter
busyout board
4. Enter reset board
5. Enter release board
6. Enter test board long
This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the
port.
