• •When a DLCI or interface port goes down but contact is still established
with participating devices in the link, the DLCI or interface with the bad
status is alarmed RED while its linked port is alarmed GRAY.
• Interfaces with provisioned DLCI which have ports that go down while still
maintaining contact with its device, get alarmed. The linked DLCI port
provisioned under the down interface reports a status of GRAY.
• If a DLCI or interface port goes down causing contact to be lost on the port
of the linked device, the DLCI or interface is alarmed GRAY.
Converter
SPECTRUM 6.0 has implemented a faster and smarter conversion process
that improves the old converter by the following:
• It is no longer required for all OCTET _STRING and TAGGED_OCTET
attributes to be assigned a conversion entry of either IGNORE or
CONVERT in the conversion table. Now, values of OCTET attributes
without conversion entries are simply destroyed from the
SpectroSERVER database during a conversion.
• The new converter uses the model type attributes' inheritance
precedence to decide which action the converter should use for the
conversion. If no conversion entry is found in the model type
attributes' inheritance hierarchy, the attribute's value from the
SpectroSERVER database is destroyed.
• Model attributes from the SpectroSERVER database, which have no
DATABASE flag are automatically destroyed. This will occur when
converting a database that has migrated from an old database.
• Model attributes are destroyed if they cannot be found in the model's
model type. This occurs when attributes have been obsolete from the
model type.
