Alarm messages

Overview

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose

This chapter contains information about the alarm messages that can be reported by
1643 AM and 1643 AMS systems. It gives suggestion for solving problems. It also
provides the maintenance procedures for tracing the faults.

The structure of this chapter is as follows:

•

This overview describes how the information about the alarm messages is
presented, and contains a table of contents.

•

The section on

“Operation modes” (p. 1-14)

provides general information

concerning system configurations which have an impact on alarming and
performance monitoring.

•

Subsequently the alarm messages that can be reported by 1643 AM and 1643 AMS
systems are described in alphabetical order.

Alarm descriptions

Each alarm message is described using a tabular overview. The alarm descriptions are
alphabetically ordered according to the alarm text. To find the alarm description related
to a specific alarm short designation (for example “TU3cAIS” or
“MACcVLANOVFW”), please refer to the alphabetical index.

The information provided for each alarm includes the meaning of the alarm, the
alarm’s short designation (alarm identifier), the alarm category, the alarm’s default
severity etc.

Alarm identifier

The “Alarm identifier” entry in the alarm overview table gives the alarm short
designation as displayed in the list of current alarms.

Alphabetical index

Please refer to the alphabetical index provided with this information product to find
information concerning alarms of which you only know the alarm short designation.
