Description
The test inads-link command attempts to make a call over the inads port on the
maintenance board to verify the INADS alarm notification process. By default, the
link to the first OSS telephone number is tested. If there is an alarm pending to be
reported or the call is in progress or up, then the test will be aborted. If the alarm
origination to the OSS telephone number to be tested is disabled, the test
generates an informative error and the test continues. The test will wait 2 minutes
before executing to allow the remote maintenance technician to logoff freeing the
line. The line must be free so the system can place a call to INADS. A local SAT
user entering the test inads-link command need not log off for the system to
place a call to INADS, but the2 minute delay still exists.

Once the call is answered by INADS, the system will send a message with a test
alarm type. INADS acknowledges receipt of the message and creates a trouble
ticket. The trouble ticket will be closed immediately and have a “INADS LINK
TEST” message entered in the description field. If an alarm is raised while the
test call is up, the system will not send an alarm message over the existing link.
The normal retry mechanism will be followed, which means an attempt to make a
call to INADS to report the error will take place 7 minutes later. An INADS trouble
ticket will be created only if the connection is successfully established, and a
message is sent to the system acknowledging that INADS received the system
message.
