Network Alarm Definition
Cell Starvation Cell Starvation indicates there are no cells being received from the network side.
LOF Loss Of Framing indicates that the framing alignment of the signal coming
into the Broadmore 1700 from the ATM side has been lost.
AIS This alarm indicates an Alarm Indication Signal is being received from the
network side. When a network element receives a loss of signal, it is
supposed to propagate an AIS alarm on its output. If this alarm is active, then
an AIS alarm is being propagated to it. An AIS alarm is a validly framed DS3
signal consisting of a repeated 1010 data pattern.
Idle An idle alarm means that an idle signal (validly framed DS3 signal with a
repeated 1100 signal) is being detected on the network side.
RAI The Remote Alarm Indicator (also known as a Yellow Alarm) is transmitted
by setting the X bits to zero. This particular alarm indicates that a Yellow
alarm has been sent across the ATM network and is being received by this
DS3 port. In the DS3 port configuration screen, you can select the Network
and Service side RAI as Auto, 1, or 0. Selecting “0” will cause the network
RAI alarm to be activated, if the user has not selected to Ignore it.
