1. Alarm Type Description Loss of This condition occurs when the network signal is absent and exceeds a Signal predefined loss of signal threshold An LOS alarm on a network line is LOS declared when more than 175 consecutive zeros are detected on input to the receiving equipment An LOS after one continuous second causes a major alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM This alarm activates the CFA if the LOS is active from 2 to 45 seconds as defined by the user Alarm Using an unframed ALL ONEs bit pattern an AIS alarm indicates that an alarm Indication condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment Signal AIS This is also called an ALL ONEs Keep Alive or Red Alarm Signal An AIS defect is declared when there are 3 or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and an LOF defect It is cleared when there are 3 or more zeros in two frames or the LOF defect no longer exists This alarm activates the CFA if the AIS is active from 2 to 45 seconds as defined by the user Loss of This alarm is declared when a 3 second interval of continuous Out Of Frame Frame LOF OOF or Loss Of Signal LOS state is detected An LOF alarm is cleared when T1 Only at least 10 seconds of continuous non LOS or non LOF condition exists This alarm activates the CFA if the LOF is active from 2 to 45 seconds as defined by the user Verilink QPRI 2921 Troubleshooting
