Red Alarm Inquiry Test (#140)
DS1 Interface circuit pack raises a Red alarm when the framing pattern of the incoming DS1 bit
stream has been lost. The Red Alarm Inquiry test checks the framing status of a DS1 Interface
circuit pack. DS1 Interface circuit pack takes 3 seconds to recognize and report a Red alarm
and 10 seconds to recognize and report the resolution of a Red alarm.
When the DS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Red alarm, the circuit pack will transmit a Yellow
alarm to the remote DS1 endpoint and send a RED ALARM message to the maintenance
software. After the Red alarm is confirmed, the maintenance software places all trunks of the
circuit pack into the out-of-service state. The inquiry test will be run every 10 minutes until the
Red alarm is cleared.

FAIL
The DS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Payload Loopback Alarm (PLB). If
the DS1 Interface circuit pack connects to a leased T1 facility, call the
vendor of the T1 carrier to diagnose the remote DS1 endpoint. If the DS1
Interface circuit pack connects directly to another DS1 board, call the
system technician of the remote switch to diagnose the DS1 endpoint.
PASS
Remote DS1 endpoint is in-service. Neither a Blue alarm nor a Line
Loopback alarm nor a Payload Loopback alarm is detected in the DS1
Interface circuit pack.

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.
This could be due to incorrect translations, no board is inserted, an
incorrect board is inserted, or an insane board is inserted.
1. Verify that the board’s translations are correct. Use add ds1
location to administer the DS1 interface if it is not already
administered.
2. If board was already administered correctly, check the error log to
determine whether the board is hyperactive. If so, the board was shut
down. Reseating the board will re-initialize it.
down. Reseating the board will re-initialize it.
3. If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, enter
busyout board.
4. Enter reset board
5. Enter release board
6. Enter test board long
5. Enter release board
6. Enter test board long
This should re-establish the link between the internal ID and the port.
