1.2.4 Fault Reporting
The 3200 has comprehensive fault reporting facilities. All faults are
logged as messages in a fault store (capable of storing the last 64 faults) to
show the fault history, as well as being held in an active faults list to show
current faults.
Fault messages from smart channel cards will also appear in the fault
store, however the smart card also maintains its own active fault list.
Smart channel cards also control the system controller alarm relays.
Fault stores may be accessed locally by the RS-232 port, or remotely with
the NCS.
All faults have associated alarm LED, and relay actions. The alarm relay
responses can be inhibited by the user acknowledging the alarms with
'Receive Attention' facilities.
Smart channel card faults have a separate 'Receive Attention' facility.
Each fault has an associated fault level, which is used by the NCS to
process network faults, and is not available for display at the equipment.
