enable suspend-alm-orig

Last Updated : Aug 14, 2023 |

Use enable suspend-alm-orig to suspend alarm origination for alarms generated by the specified board (location) or port (location) for a the specified amount of time (hrs).

enable suspend-alm-orig does not support media modules without a board location. Enter enable suspend-alm-orig multiple times to suspend alarms on different boards or ports. If a physical location is specified for which there is already a suspension in effect, the most recent suspension request replaces the previous request.

Use enable suspend-alm-orig to improve control over situations such as:

  • Quieting a hyperactive port board during installation or troubleshooting.

  • Improving control over customer requests. For example, use enable suspend-alm-orig to temporarily suspend off-board DS1 alarms for customers who periodically disconnect DS1 trunks for testing or other business purposes.

  • Improving control over external (non-Avaya) problems. For example, use enable suspend-alm-orig 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.

  • Improving control over internal (Avaya) problems that cannot be immediately resolved. For example, use enable suspend-alm-orig to suspend alarm origination for a bad media module detected late Friday night if personnel cannot be dispatched until Monday.

To see a list of active alarm origination suspensions, use list suspend-alm-orig. To disable a suspension, use disable suspend-alm-orig.
