To configure the carrier alarm thresholds. Defaults threshold values
are set in the factory and should not be changed unless there is a good
reason for doing so:
CRI:: >
Prompt requesting an MMI
command
CRI::> S A
To set carrier alarm parameters
Alarm 1 Threshold: Current value E-6 New value E-6
Threshold Duration (in seconds) Min –1 Max – 3600 Current value 1
Alarm 2 Threshold: Current value E-5 New value E-5
Threshold Duration (in seconds) Min – 1 Max – 2148 Current value 1
Alarm 3 Threshold: Current value E-4 New value E-4
Threshold Duration (in seconds) Min – 1 Max – 218 Current value 1
Frame Slip Threshold (Min – 1 Max – 255) Current Value 255
Frame Slip Threshold Duration (in Hours) Min – 1 Max – 24 Current Value 1
Note:
Threshold Duration parameter for BER thresholds should not be
longer than 10 seconds to allow fast recovery of a faulty carrier when
the bit error rate improves. For example, if the duration is set to one
hour, a faulty carrier that starts operating correctly will wait one 1 hour
before the alarm condition is cleared and the carrier becomes available
for traffic again.
Parameter values explanation:
Alarm 0 – No alarm, the carrier is operating without bit errors and without
excessive out of frame. If carrier was previously spared it is automatically
unspared.
Alarm 1 – The alarm indicates a low bit error rate (BER maintenance
threshold). The transmission continues without trying to spare this link.
Carrier maintenance should be scheduled. The alarm LED comes ON.
