Health and Status
Health and Status (H/S) displays health and status
information. It automatically scans for DSU and line
conditions that are not within normal limits. There are
three types of Health and Status reports:
•
Devic (Device Health and Status) displays the
health and status for a selected DSU (and DBM and
TDM or MCMP, if installed). This report is
available from the Local or Remote branch.
•
Expan (Expanded Health and Status) retrieves
status information relating to automatic dial
attempts and abnormal call terminations. The
Expan selection is only displayed if there is
expanded health and status information available
and is accessible from the Local or Remote branch.
•
Subn (Subnetwork Health and Status) displays
health and status information for all devices on the
DSU’s poll list. This selection is only available
from the Local branch and is valid only if
nondisruptive or mixed diagnostics are in effect and
ADp or DPII protocol selections have been made.
All alarm and status conditions are displayed for the
specified DSU at the time the option is selected. For a
local DSU, the alarm and status conditions are updated
every 2 seconds. For a remote DSU, the alarm and status
conditions are not updated automatically. Note that a
major alarm causes the Alrm status indicator on the
affected DSU to light.
To access the Health and Status reports from the
top-level menu, make the following selections:
•
Local (F1), or Remot (F2) and Address
•
Stat
•
H/S
•
Devic, Expan, or Subn
Device Health and Status
The Device Health and Status (Devic) selection reports
health and status information for a selected DSU. It
indicates how long the unit has been operating, whether
there is any NMS activity to the unit, and whether there
are additional messages.
NOTE
If 5 minutes elapse without a key
being pressed, the Device Health
and Status screen will be
redisplayed.
The format of the Device Health and Status screen is
shown below:
F1
H/S: hhh:mm:ss

Results
When the DDS circuit is the active link, the first line
displays a running normal-operation timer (hhh:mm:ss),
with a right arrow (
→
) if there is more than one existing
message, and an asterisk ( * ) if there is NMS activity.
The second line displays the test or alarm message. Refer
to
Appendix C for an alphabetical listing and explanation
of the Device Health and Status messages.
If there is more than one message, the DCP cycles
through the messages automatically, or the and
keys can be used to scroll through multiple messages.

In the example above, the time shown on the first line
changes to show the elapsed time, 15 minutes and
1 second. The second line indicates that the DSU is in a
Local Loopback initiated from the DCP (front panel - FP).
When a Local Loopback is running, the time shown will
be the time that has elapsed since the Local Loopback
began.
