Avaya 03-300430 User Manual

The Major Alarm Inquiry test is used to determine if the received DS1 bit error rate is greater 
than 1/1000. The UDS1 Interface circuit pack takes 10 seconds to recognize and report a Major 
alarm and 10 seconds to recognize and report that a Major alarm condition is cleared.
When the UDS1 Interface circuit pack detects a Major alarm, it sends a MAJOR-ALARM 
message to the maintenance software. (32-channel interfaces send a YELLOW alarm to the far 
end). After the maintenance software receives a MAJOR alarm message, the Major Alarm 
Inquiry test is initiated to confirm the Major alarm on the UDS1 Interface circuit pack. The 
Inquiry test runs every 10 minutes until the Major alarm is cleared. The maintenance software 
places every trunk or port on the circuit pack in the out-of-service state if the Major alarm 
persists for more than 20 minutes.
When the Major alarm is cleared, the maintenance software restores every trunk or port on the 
circuit pack to its previous service state before a Major alarm occurs.

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.

1. Verify that the board’s translations are correct. Execute add ds1 

location to administer the UDS1 interface if it is not already 

administered.

2. If the board was already administered correctly, check the error log to 

determine whether the board is hyperactive. If so, the board is shut 
down. Reseating the board will re-initialize it.

3. If the board was found to be correctly inserted in step 1, enter 

4. Enter reset board location.
5. Enter release board location.
6. Enter test board location long.

This should re-establish the linkage between the internal ID and the port.
