Major Alarm Inquiry Test (#142)
The Major alarm raised by a UDS1 Interface circuit pack indicates that the 
average bit error rate on the DS1 facility is greater than 1/1000. The Major Alarm 
Inquiry Test is used to determine that the received DS1 bit error rate is greater 
than 1/1000. The UDS1 Interface circuit pack takes 10 seconds to recognize and 
report a Major alarm and 10 seconds to recognize and report that a Major alarm 
condition is cleared.
When the UDS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Major alarm, it will send a 
MAJOR-ALARM message to the maintenance software. (32-channel interfaces 
send a YELLOW alarm to the far end). After the maintenance software receives a 
MAJOR-ALARM message, the Major Alarm Inquiry Test is initiated to confirm the 
Major alarm on the UDS1 Interface circuit pack. The Inquiry Test will be run every 
10 minutes until the Major alarm is cleared. The maintenance software places all 
trunks or ports on the circuit pack in the out-of-service state if the Major alarm 
persists for more than 20 minutes.
When the Major alarm is cleared, the maintenance software restores all trunks or 
ports on the circuit pack to their previous service state before a Major alarm 
occurs.

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 
PCSS 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.
