Loss of Signal Alarm Inquiry Test (#138)
This test verifies the synchronization status and continuity of the DS1 link. The 
Loss of Signal alarm indicates that the UDS1 Interface circuit pack is unable to 
derive the synchronization clock from the DS1 facility. When the UDS1 Interface 
circuit pack detects a Loss of Signal alarm, it stops providing the synchronization 
clock for the system if it is administered as a timing source and transmits a Yellow 
alarm to the remote DS1 endpoint.
When the Loss of Signal alarm is confirmed, the maintenance software places all 
trunks or ports of the UDS1 Interface circuit pack into the out-of-service state. 
The inquiry test will run every 10 minutes until the loss of signal has been 
restored.
The UDS1 Interface circuit pack raises a Loss of Signal alarm after the signal has 
been lost for about 1 second. It will not retire the alarm until the signal has 
returned for about 10 seconds.
  PASS All administered trunks or ports of the UDS1 Interface circuit pack pass the 
Internal Looparound Test. The bit pattern consistency test is executed 
successfully over the path that covers a DS1 port, cable, and the external 
NCTE device.

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 
UUCSS command to administer the UDS1 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 issue the 
busyout board command.
4. Issue the reset board command.
5. Issue the release busy board command.
6. Issue the test board long command.
This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the port.
