Minor

Alarms are raised as maintenance testing discovers them and the severity of the alarm is upgraded or downgraded to a minor. Alarmed resources that are normally taken out of service are still taken out of service. LEDs on the port board and maintenance board follow the normal minor alarm LED strategy and there is a call to the receiving OSS.

Warning

Alarms are raised as maintenance testing discovers them, and the severity of the alarm is downgraded to a warning. The advantage is that the Alarm Log can still be used to pinpoint trunk or station problems. Alarmed resources that are normally taken out-of-service are still taken out-of-service. Alarm LEDs light on the media module pack and Maintenance media module as before, but no attendant LEDs or stations reporting alarms are affected. There is no call to INADS.

Report

Downgrade the alarm to a warning and report the warning to INADS. This is not supported by Avaya.

Yes

Alarms are raised in the normal manner. There is no filtering of alarm data.

No

Alarms raised on a trunk, station, or adjunct in this category are dropped. Error information is provided, but there is no trace of an alarm. There is no LED activity and no call to INADS. Because resources are taken out-of-service without any record, you must use this option only when other options do not provide the desired result.
