Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface software
Description
The Man-Machine Interface (MMI) supplies a maintenance interface to a
terminal providing T1 link diagnostics and historical information. See the
“Installation and Configuration” on page 87 for instructions on how to install
the cabling and configure the terminal for the MMI. This section describes the
features of MMI and explains how to set-up, configure and use the MMI
firmware.
The MMI provides the following maintenance features:
— Comes equipped with default and reconfigurable alarm parameters
— Notification of T1 link problems by activating alarms
— Reports on current and historical T1 link performance
— T1 tests for T1 verification and fault isolation to line-side T1 card, T1
link, or CPE equipment
Alarms
MMI activates alarms for the following T1 link conditions: excessive bit error
rate, frame slip errors, out of frame condition, loss of signal condition, and
blue alarm condition. The alarms are activated in response to pre-set
thresholds and error durations. Descriptions of each of these T1 link alarm
conditions, instructions on how to set alarm parameters and access alarm
reporting can be found in “Alarm operation and reporting” on page 118.
Two levels of alarm severity exist for bit errors and frame slip errors. For
these conditions, two different threshold and duration settings are established.
When the first level of severity is reached (alarm level 1), the MMI will cause
the external alarm hardware to activate, light the appropriate LED on the
faceplate (either RED ALARM or YELLOW ALARM), display an alarm
message on the MMI terminal and an create entry in the alarm log. When the
second level of severity is reached (alarm level 2), the MMI will perform all
of the same functions as alarm level 1 performed, and in addition, force the
line-side T1 card to enter trunk processing mode. In this mode, the terminal
equipment will be sent either “on-hook” or “off-hook” signals for all 24 ports
to the Meridian 1, depending on how the dip switch for trunk processing was
set (dip switch #2, position #6).
