Alarm
Origination to
OSS Numbers
Indicates one of four options for alarm origination (neither):
■ If this field is set to “both,” all Major and Minor alarms result in
an automatic call to both OSS telephone numbers. Both OSS
telephone numbers must be administered.
■ If this field is set to “first-only,” all Major and Minor alarms result
in an automatic call to the first OSS number only. The switch
does not call the second OSS telephone number even if the
number is administered. The first OSS telephone number must
be administered
■ If this field is set to “neither,” alarm origination does not take
place. Warning alarms are not reported to either numbers.
■ If this field is set to “second-as-backup,” all Major and Minor
alarms result in an automatic call to the first OSS telephone
number. If calling the first OSS telephone number fails four
attempts, the switch starts to call the second OSS telephone
number as a backup until calling the first OSS telephone
number becomes successful. Both OSS telephone numbers
must be administered.
Before Release 5, the name of this field is “Alarm Origination
Activated.” If Alarm Origination is deactivated, both Cleared Alarm
Notification and Restart Notification are disabled, even though they
may still be activated in the administration.
Cleared Alarm
Notification
Enables the switch to originate a call to the OSS and send an alarm
resolution message whenever all previously reported Major and
Minor alarms are resolved. Alarm Origination must be activated in
order for Cleared Alarm Notification to work. (no)
Restart
Notification
Enables the switch to originate a call to the OSS and report any
system restarts caused by problems with the switch.
Suspension
Threshold
The threshold for suspending Cleared Alarm Notification. Some
problems may cause alarms to be generated and then resolved
repeatedly. To detect these problems (by not sending additional
Cleared Alarm notifications to indicate a problem- free system), the
switch suspends Cleared Alarm Notification when it has reported
this administrable number of Cleared Alarm notifications in a 24
hour period. A suspended Cleared Alarm Notification is only
enabled again with a successfully completed “logoff” command, a
system reset, or when the threshold is changed. This field is
irrelevant if Cleared Alarm Notification or Alarm Origination is
disabled. The possible range of threshold values is between 1 and
15.
