Description
In addition to bit errors, the Set Alarm function sets parameters for detecting
frame slip errors by establishing a threshold necessary to activate an alarm. If
the threshold value is exceeded, a level 2 alarm will be activated. The frame
slip threshold can be specified from 1 to 255 frame slips per time period. The
duration time period can be specified from 1 to 24 hours.
When entering the Set Alarm command set, the MMI will scroll through the
previously described series of alarm options. These options are displayed
along with their current value, and you can either enter a new value or hit
enter to retain the current value. Table 29 outlines the options available in the
Set Alarm function.
Note: If the duration period is set too long, the line-side T1 card will be
slow to return to service automatically even when the carrier is no longer
experiencing any errors. The Clear Alarm command will have to be
entered manually to restore service promptly. To avoid this, the duration
period should normally be set to 10 seconds.
