3-1154TSC-ADM (Administered Temporary Signaling Connections) 
3
ADMTSC maintenance provides a strategy to verify that a far-end can respond to 
an ISDN-PRI USER INFORMATION TSC heartbeat message, thereby indicating 
that user to user signaling is functioning. In addition, maintenance can retrieve 
the status of the ADMTSC’s connection state.
Since ADMTSCs are administered on a per signaling group basis, the health of 
an ADMTSC also depends on the state of the D-channel or D-channel pair 
administered per signaling group. Refer to ISDN-SGR (ISDN-PRI Signaling 
Group) Maintenance documentation for details on ISDN-PRI NFAS and 
D-channel Backup maintenance. The two administration commands for 
ADMTSCs are as follows:
■ add signaling group #
■ change signaling group #
The two maintenance commands for ADMTSCs are as follows:
■ test tsc-administered signaling group #[/tsc index]
■ status tsc-administered signaling group #/tsc index

Notes:
a. There is no Test to Clear Value for error types 3840-3967. The error types 
provide the following additional data that may prove useful when tracking 
down problems.
This error indicates that a TSC Heartbeat Inquiry Test was run on an Active 
far-end Administered TSC from the switch. Upon receiving the heartbeat 
message, the network communicated to the switch that the call reference 
value is not currently in use on the ISDN interface. As a result, the error 
was logged. Check the signaling group status of the D-channel or 
D-channel pair via the 
status signaling-group <group>
 command for the 
Administered TSC. Check the status of the Administered TSC via the 
status tsc-administered
 command. Also check the administration of the 
Administered TSC on the switch.
This error may only be affecting service for some DCS customers. Upon 
receipt of this error condition, the switch tears down and re-establishes the 
ADMTSC within 20 minutes.
b. The port field in the error log contains the signaling group number for 
TSC-ADM errors.
