Red Alarm Inquiry Test (#140)
An MM710 Interface Media Module raises a Red alarm when the framing pattern of the
incoming DS1 bit stream has been lost. The Red Alarm Inquiry Test checks the framing status
of an MM710 Interface Media Module. An MM710 Interface Media Module takes 3 seconds to
recognize and report a Red alarm and 10 seconds to recognize and report the resolution of a
Red alarm.
When the MM710 Interface Media Module detects a Red alarm, the Media Module transmits a
Yellow alarm to the remote DS1 endpoint and sends a RED ALARM message to the
maintenance software. After the Red alarm is confirmed, the maintenance software places all
trunks or ports of the Media Module into the out-of-service state. The inquiry test runs every 10
minutes until the Red alarm is cleared.
When the Red alarm is cleared, the MM710 Interface Media Module stops transmitting the
Yellow alarm to the remote DS1 endpoint. The maintenance software restores all trunks or ports
of the MM710 Interface Media Module to the service state it was in before the Red alarm
occurred.
Any 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. Ensure that the board translations are correct. Execute the add
ds1 location command to administer the MM710 interface if it is
not already administered.
2. If the board was already administered correctly, check the error log
to determine whether the board is hyperactive. If this is the case, the
board is shut down. Reseating the board will re-initialize the board.
3. If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, then enter
the busyout board location command.
4. Enter the reset board location command.
5. Enter the release board location command.
6. Enter the test board location long command.
This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the port.
