Operations Support Parameters

CPE Alarm Activation Level

Indicates the minimum level (Major, Minor or Warning) to activate Customer-Provided Equipment (CPE) alarm. If the level is none, the CPE does not activate for any alarm.

When the switch goes into Emergency Transfer, the CPE alarm activates regardless of the CPE Alarm Activation Level setting.

Scheduled Maintenance

Start Time

Hour and minute (24-hour notation) when daily scheduled maintenance starts.

Stop Time

The hour and minute when scheduled daily maintenance ceases. If any daily maintenance operations are not completed by this time, the system notes its stopped sequence location and includes those operations during the next scheduled daily maintenance.

Save Translation

Indicates days that translation data in memory automatically saves to the hard disk during scheduled maintenance. The operation saves to disk, then completes a backup to tape. Translation data saves to both servers. If you set the field value as n , the system does not save the translations automatically.

Update LSP and ESS Servers When Saving Translations

The values of this field are:

• y — update the LSP and ESS servers when saving translations

• n — do not update the LSP and ESS servers when saving translations

Enable filesync to Survivable Remote Server and Survivable Core Servers during scheduled maintenance save translations.

Command Time-out (minutes)

Displays the time in which the command times out. The values of this field are in the range 10–360.

Enter the number of inactive minutes after which an active SAT screen reverts to a Linux screen or the user is logged off of the system. Default is 120.

System Resets

Display Warning Prior to System Reset?

The values of this field include:

• y — displays a warning prior to a system reset

• n — does not display any warning prior to a system reset

Minimum Maintenance Thresholds (Before Notification)

MMIs

The minimum number of MMI ports needed for the Multimedia Call Handling (MMCH) feature to run efficiently. The MMCH feature must be enabled on the system-parameters customer-options screen before the MMIs field can be changed to a number greater than zero. If the number of in-service Multimedia Interface (MMI) ports falls below the minimum port capacity (valid entries between 0–128), a MMI-LEV error is logged. Each MMI media module contains a maximum of 32 ports. To alarm the first occurrence of an MMI being taken out of service, set this field to the total number of MMI ports. If this outage continues for 15 minutes, a major alarm is raised.

VCs

The minimum number of VC ports needed for the Multimedia Call Handling (MMCH) feature. The MMCH feature must be enabled on the system-parameters customer-options screen before the VCs field can be changed to a number greater than 0. Each VC media module contains 16 physical ports: eight ports are reserved for VC-DSPPT ports, and the remaining eight ports are designated as VC-SUMPT ports. The eight DSP ports are made up of four encoder and four decoder resources that encode and decode audio formats. Thus, one VC media module is required for every eight ports of MMCH port capacity. If the number of in-service VC ports falls below the MMCH port capacity (valid entries between 0 and 128), a VEC-LEV error is logged. To alarm the first occurrence of a VC port being taken out of service, set this field to the total number of VC ports. If this outage continues for 15 minutes a major alarm is raised.

Terminating Trunk Transmission Test (Extension)

Test Type 100

Specifies extensions assigned to receive tie-trunk calls from other switches that have test line origination capability. The system responds by sending a sequence of test tones. Test Type 100 tests far-end to near-end loss and C-message by sending:

• 5.5 seconds of 1004 Hz tone at 0 dB

• Quiet until disconnect; disconnect is forced after the administered timer interval

Timer

When Test Type 100 is administered, you can change the default testing length for the test call in the Timer field.

The field value range is 65–999 seconds. The default value is 65 seconds.

Test Type 102

Test Type 102 tests far-end to near-end loss by sending:

• 9 seconds of 1004 Hz tone at 0 dB

• 1 second of quiet

• This cycle is repeated until disconnect; disconnect is forced after 24 hours.

Test Type 105

Test Type 105 tests 2-way loss, gain slope, and C-message and C-notch noise by sending:

• 9 seconds of 1004-Hz tone at -16 dB

• 1 second of quiet

• 9 seconds of 404-Hz tone at -16 dB

• 1 second of quiet

• 9 seconds of 2804-Hz tone at -16 dB

• 30 seconds of quiet

• ½ second of 2225-Hz test progress tone

• approximately 5 seconds of quiet

• forced disconnect

ISDN Maintenance

ISDN-PRI Test Call Extension

Indicates the extension used by far-end ISDN nodes to place calls to the system, for testing ISDN-PRI trunks between the far end and the system.

ISDN-BRI Service SPID

Shows if the link associates with the Service SPID. If the link is associated with the Service SPID. This number is the test SPID (0–99999) (under BRI-SET MO). Otherwise, this field is blank. Service SPID is a feature used by the system technician to check building wiring between the switch and the BRI endpoint.

DS1 and MF Maintenance

DS0 Loop-Around Test Call Extension

The extension used to set up a DS0 loop-around connection for testing non-PRI DS1 trunks. Use DS0 Loop-Around Test Call to test DS0 channels associated with non-PRI trunks. Activate the loop-around by dialing the test extension. Establish multiple DS0 loop-around connections by placing multiple calls to the loop-around extension.

For more information, see the DS0 Loop-Around test section in Maintenance Procedures for Avaya Aura® Communication Manager, Branch Gateways and Servers.

MF Test Call Extension

Enter the multifrequency test call extension.

To allow COs in different locations to use different DID numbers to reach the MF test call extension, administer one number as the MF test call extension. Administer additional DID numbers as x-port stations, and call forward from the x-port stations to the MF test call extension.

Maintenance Save Translation Corruption Audit

Enable Translation Audit

The values of this field include:

• y — enables translation audit

• n — disables translation audit

Set to y to have a translation audit performed prior to every scheduled save translation operation. A translation audit detects corruption in the translation data. y applies when Save Translation on the first page of this screen is y.

Display Warning When Detected

The values of this field include:

• y

• n

Display a warning on the SAT at login if translation corruption is detected by a translation audit. Write the event to the command history log.

The default field value is n. Set to y when translation corruption is actively being diagnosed.

Displayed when Enable Translation Audit is set to y.

Alarm When Detected

The values of this field include:

• y

• n

Issue an alarm if translation corruption is detected by a translation audit. The default field value is n. Set to y when translation corruption is actively being diagnosed.

Displayed when Enable Translation Audit is set to y.

Block Save Translation When Detected

The values of this field include:

• y

• n

Block the save translation command if corruption is detected. The default field value is n. Set to y when translation corruption is actively being diagnosed.

Displayed when Enable Translation Audit is set to y.
