The system provides alarm reports that list the active alarm and status conditions, including a remote alarm/status feature that summarizes alarms in other NEs in an alarm group. A description of the condition (for example, controller failure, incoming high-speed signal failure, synchronization hardware or reference failure, etc.) is included in the reports along with a time stamp indicating when the condition was detected, its severity, and whether it is service affecting or not. The option to display specified subsets of alarm conditions is provided (for example, critical alarms only).
Circuit pack status conditions include:
Manually initiated abnormal conditions (for example, forced switch, manual lockouts, loopbacks, system testing)
A description of the status condition (for example, DS1 loopback active, DS3 facility loopback active, etc.) is included in the report along with a time stamp indicating when the condition began.
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX supports of Alarm Severity Assignment Profiles (ASAPs). With ASAPs, any alarm supported for a particular circuit pack/interface can also be a status condition.
