Major Alarm Inquiry Test (#142)
The Major alarm raised by an MM710 Interface Media Module 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. The MM710 Interface
Media Module 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 MM710 Interface Media Module detects a Major alarm, it sends a MAJOR-ALARM
message to the maintenance software. (32-channel interfaces send a YELLOW alarm to the far
end). After the maintenance software receives a MAJOR-ALARM message, the Major Alarm
Inquiry Test is initiated to confirm the Major alarm on the MM710 Interface Media Module. The
Inquiry Test runs every 10 minutes until the Major alarm is cleared. The maintenance software
places all trunks or ports on the Media Module in the out-of-service state if the Major alarm
persists for more than 20 minutes.
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.
