Description
This command enables Suspend Alarm Origination for a board (which also
includes all ports and endpoints on the board) or for a port (which includes all
endpoints on the port), and either for both on- and off-board alarms or for
off-board alarms only. Many control circuit packs do not have a board location,
so this command cannot support all circuit packs.
On the command line, specify a time-out duration between one and 72 hours.
The “off-board-only” keyword is optional; if the keyword is not specified, the entry
suspends Alarm Origination for both on-and off-board alarms. Each enable
command becomes a new entry or replaces an existing entry in the Suspend
Alarm Origination table. A new entry that matches both the physical location and
off-only/on- and off-board specifications of an active entry replaces the active
entry in the Suspend Alarm Origination table.
This command may be useful for improving control over situations such as the
following:
■ Improved control over customer requests. For example, to suspend
off-board DS1 alarms temporarily for customers that periodically
disconnect DS1 trunks for testing or other business related purposes.
■ Improved control over external (non-Lucent) problems. For example, to
suspend off-board DS1 alarms before a customer resolves facility
problems (such as working with the vendor of a T1 trunk that has
developed an off-board condition).
■ Improved control over internal (Lucent) problems that cannot be resolved
right away. For example, to suspend Alarm Origination for a bad circuit
pack detected late Friday night and personnel cannot be dispatched until
Monday.
NOTE:
Also see other Suspend Alarm Origination related commands, including
“disable suspend-alm-orig” and “list suspend-alm-orig”.
Defaults
This command enables Suspend Alarm Origination for both on- and off-board
alarms if the “off-board-only” keyword is not specified.
