Suspension
Threshold
The threshold for suspending Cleared Alarm Notification. Some
problems may cause alarms to be generated and then resolved
repeatedly. To detect these problems (by not sending additional
Cleared Alarm notifications to indicate a problem- free system), the
switch suspends Cleared Alarm Notification when it has reported this
administrable number of Cleared Alarm notifications in a 24 hour
period. A suspended Cleared Alarm Notification is only enabled again
with a successfully completed “logoff” command, a system reset, or
when the threshold is changed. This field is irrelevant if Cleared Alarm
Notification or Alarm Origination is disabled. The possible range of
threshold values is between one and fifteen.
Test Remote
Access Port
Specifies whether testing of the remote access port on the SYSAM
circuit pack is enabled. This field should be set to "yes" whenever there
is an INADS line connected to the switch and there is a maintenance
contract in effect so that alarm origination capability is maintained.
If no equipment is connected to the remote access port, or if a trunk for
remote access and alarm origination is not provided, running tests on
the remote access port on the SYSAM results in test failures. This
causes unnecessary maintenance alarms and allows potentially
destructive tests to be run. Setting this field to "no" prevents this.
CPE Alarm
Activation
Level
Indicates the minimum level (Major, Minor or Warning) at which the
Customer-Provided Equipment (CPE) alarm is activated. If the level is
‘‘none,’’ the CPE does is not activated for any alarm. (none)
NOTE:
The CPE alarm is always activated when the switch goes into
Emergency Transfer, regardless of the CPE Alarm Activation
Level setting.
