Minor Alarm Inquiry Test (#143)
The Minor alarm raised by a DS1 Interface circuit pack indicates that the average bit error rate 
on the DS1 facility is greater than 1/1,000,000, but less than 1/1000. The Minor Alarm Inquiry 
test is used to determine that the received DS1 bit error rate is greater than 1/1,000,000 and 
less than 1/1000. When D4 framing mode is selected, the DS1 Interface circuit pack takes 41 
minutes to recognize and report a Minor alarm and 41 minutes to recognize and report that a 
Minor alarm condition is cleared. If ESF framing mode is selected, the DS1 Interface circuit pack 
takes 10 minutes to recognize and report a Minor alarm and 10 minutes to recognize and report 
that a Minor alarm condition is cleared.
When the DS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Minor alarm condition, it will send a 
MINOR-ALARM message to the maintenance software. After the maintenance software 
receives a MINOR-ALARM message, the Minor Alarm Inquiry test is initiated to confirm the 
Minor alarm. All trunks on the circuit pack are kept in the in-service state after the Minor alarm is 
confirmed. The Minor Alarm Inquiry test is run every 10 minutes until the Minor alarm is cleared.
