enable suspend-alm-orig
This command enables Suspend Alarm Origination for a board (including all 
ports and endpoints on the board) or for a port (including all endpoints on the 
port) for both on- and off-board alarms or for off-board alarms only. Many control 
circuit packs do not have a board location, so this command cannot support all 
circuit packs. Each enable command becomes a new entry or replaces an 
existing entry in the Suspend Alarm Origination table. A new entry that matches 
both the physical location and off-only, on-, and off-board specifications of an 
active entry replaces the active entry in the Suspend Alarm Origination table.
On the command line, specify a time-out duration of 1 - 72 hours. The 
off-board-only
 is optional; if the keyword is not specified, the entry suspends 
Alarm Origination for both on-and off-board alarms.
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.
