Again, it is recommended to automatically configure the TSP by using the
Query Card Types
button. This error will not occur when using this method.
T1/E1 Alarms
When configuring for a T1/E1 module, and there is no T1/E1 signal present or the port is
configured incorrectly, you will get a
(red alarm light) on the T1/E1 module next to the RJ
connection. The
TSP
main screen display tree will show
(a yellow circle with a red X) next to
the Units. Expand the tree by clicking on the + next to Units. Now expand it further by clicking on
the + sign next to Unit name. Keep expanding the tree till you get to the red circle next to the Port
for the T1. See Figure 21.
Figure 21 Red Alarm on T1
Once the alarm condition has cleared, the light on the module will turn green and the red button
on the tree display will turn green. If not, try going to
Units
and choose
Initialize
for the TSP unit
being configured.
Initialize
resends the set parameters to the TSP which will reset the T1/E1(s).
On Dual T1/E1, if one of the T1/E1’s goes into or out of alarm, the software has to reset both
ports. This means the T1/E1 should not be connected to or disconnected from the port on the
Dual T1/E1 module if the other port on that module is in use. Also, if there is a loss of signal or
the signal restores on one of the ports, the second port will indicate an alarm while both ports are
resetting.
