Alarm Origination to
OSS Numbers
One of four options for alarm origination (neither):
■ If both, all Major and Minor alarms result in an automatic
call to both OSS telephone numbers. Both OSS telephone
numbers must be administered.
■ If first-only, all Major and Minor alarms result in an
automatic call to the first OSS number only. The switch does
not call the second OSS telephone number even if the
number is administered. The first OSS telephone number
must be administered
■ If neither, alarm origination does not take place. Warning
alarms are not reported to either numbers.
■ If second-as-backup, all Major and Minor alarms result in
an automatic call to the first OSS telephone number. If
calling the first OSS telephone number fails four attempts,
the switch starts to call the second OSS telephone number
as a backup until calling the first OSS telephone number
becomes successful. Both OSS telephone numbers must be
administered.
Before Release 5, the name of this field is Alarm
Origination Activated. If Alarm Origination is deactivated,
both Cleared Alarm Notification and Restart Notification are
disabled, even though they may still be activated in the
administration.
Cleared Alarm
Notification
Enables the switch to originate a call to the OSS and send an
alarm resolution message whenever all previously-reported
Major and Minor alarms are resolved. Alarm Origination must be
activated in order for Cleared Alarm Notification to work. (no)
Restart Notification
Enables the switch to originate a call to the OSS and report any
system restarts caused by problems with the switch.
Suspension Threshold
The threshold for suspending Cleared Alarm Notification (1-15).
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.
Test Remote Access
Port
Specifies whether testing of the remote access port on the
SYSAM circuit pack is enabled. This field should read 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.
