Operations Support Parameters
Product 
Identification
Identifies switch to an Operations Support System (OSS): 10-digit 
number starting with 1.
First OSS 
Telephone 
Number
Switch reports alarms first to the First OSS telephone number (for 
example, INADS or Trouble Tracker). The number must be obtained 
from the National Customer Support Center (NCSC) or the TSC. (# and 
* are not allowed in the telephone number.)
Abbrev Alarm 
Report
Enables the Abbreviated Alarm Report feature for the first OSS. (yes)
Second OSS 
Telephone 
Number
The switch reports alarms secondly to the second OSS telephone 
number. For example, INADS or DEFINITY SNMP. The number must be 
obtained from the National Customer Support Center (NCSC) or the 
TSC. (# and * are not allowed in the telephone number.)
Abbrev Alarm 
Report
Enables the Abbreviated Alarm Report feature for the second OSS. (no)
Alarm 
Origination to 
OSS Numbers
Indicates one of four options for alarm origination (neither):
”both” = Major and Minor alarms result in an automatic call to both 
administered OSS telephone numbers.
“first-only” = Major and Minor alarms result in an automatic call to the 
first administered OSS number. 
“neither” = alarm origination does not occur; reports are not sent to 
either number.
“second no-backup” = Major and Minor alarms result in an automatic 
call to the first administered OSS telephone number. If calling the first 
OSS telephone number fails four times, the switch calls the second 
administered OSS telephone number until calling the first OSS 
telephone number is successful.
NOTE:
Before Release 5, the name of this field is Alarm Origination 
Activated.
If Alarm Origination is deactivated, Cleared Alarm Notification and 
Restart Notification deactivate, even though they may still be activate in 
the administration.
Cleared Alarm 
Notification
The switch originates calls to the OSS and sends an alarm resolution 
message once all previously-reported Major and Minor alarms are 
resolved. Activate Alarm Origination to enable Cleared Alarm 
Notification. (no)
Restart 
Notification
Enables the switch to originate calls to the OSS and report any system 
restarts caused by switch problems. Activate Alarm Origination to 
enable Restart Notification.
