DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Maintenance for R8.2csi 
555-233-119  Issue 1
April 2000
Maintenance Commands 
2-96enable synchronization-switch 
2
This command may be particularly useful for:
■ Improved control over customer requests. For example, to suspend 
off-board DS1 alarms temporarily for customers that periodically 
disconnect DS1 trunks for testing or other business-related purposes.
■ Improved control over external (non-Lucent) problems such as 
suspending off-board DS1 alarms before a customer resolves facility 
problems (for example, a T1 trunk that has developed an off-board 
condition).
■ Improved control over internal (Lucent) problems that cannot be resolved 
immediately. For example, the command can be used to suspend Alarm 
Origination for a bad circuit pack detected late Friday night and dispatch 
personnel cannot respond until Monday.
NOTE:
Also see other Suspend Alarm Origination related commands, including 
disable suspend-alm-orig
 and 
list suspend-alm-orig
.
enable synchronization-switch
This command re-enables automatic clock switching or returns the maintenance 
subsystem back to the normal state. The synchronization subsystem consists of 
the TDM bus clock, DS1 trunk board, and SPE-resident maintenance and 
administration software and provides error free digital communication between 
the switch and other PBXs, COs, or customer-premise equipment (CPE).
