Prerequisite
NM user must have the authority of "NE and network maintainer" or a person with higher authorities.

Procedure
Follow the steps below to set NE alarm attributes.
Step Action

1 2

In the NE Explorer, click the NE and select [Alarm/NE Alarm Attribute] from the Function Tree. Set attributes for the NE. Pay attention to the requirement of parameters: The storage capacity refers to the maximum number of records that can be kept in the T2000 database. There are two saving modes: wrap, stop. If the saving mode is "wrap", when the alarm register is full, the oldest alarms will be deleted for saving new alarms. If the saving mode is "stop", when the alarm register is full, new alarms will be discarded. There are three reversion modes: Non-Revertive, Automatic Reversion and Manual Reversion. If the reversion mode is "Non-Revertive", all the alarms will be reported. If the reversion mode is "Automatic Reversion", the configured but unloaded ports will not report alarms until the ports are loaded with service. If the reversion mode is "Manual Reversion", all the ports of the NE will not report alarms and the reversion indicator will flash. If the correlative suppressing switch is enabled, alarms induced by other alarms will not be reported. If the delay switch is enabled, the following two attributes need to be set. Alarm occurring delay time refers to a period of time. If an alarm is detected continuously for this period of time, the T2000 considers this alarm occurs. Alarm ending delay time refers to a period of time. If an alarm is not detected continuously for this period of time, the T2000 considers this alarm is already ended.

Background
Use this procedure to set AIS insertion switch. For services requiring high quality of service (QoS), when a specific QoS-affecting event (for example, B3_EXC) is detected, the T2000 will insert AIS at the port immediately, thus triggering the related protection mechanism and switching the service at this port to a protection path to guarantee QoS.

Prerequisite
NM user must have the authority of "NE and network operator" or a person with higher authorities.

Procedure
Follow the steps below to set AIS insertion switch.
Step Action

In the NE Explorer, select a board and select [Alarm/QoS Alarm/AIS Insertion] from the Function Tree.

this port differs from the actual situation. In this way, some alarms that you do not need to pay attention to can be filtered. If alarm reversion mode is set to auto-revertive, the NE will disable alarm reversion when the alarm is cleared, and the alarm status returns to normal. If set to manual revertive, the alarm status returns to normal only when alarm reversion is disabled manually.

The number of dumped records refers to the number of performance records to be dumped at a time. The capacity alarm threshold refers to a number of records, when the records in the T2000 database exceed this number, an alarm occurs and the T2000 executes dumping operation. The time limit refers to a period, when the T2000 executes dumping operation, only those records occurred earlier than this period will be dumped. There are several types of performance that can be set: 15-minute performance, 24-hour performance, performance value threshold-crossing and so on.

In the right-hand pane, under "Dumping when Overflow", set a value for "Max. Storage Capacity(Records)", "Number of Dumped Records(/Times)" and "Capacity Alarm Threshold(Records)" respectively. Under "Dumping in Schedule", set "Dump Periodically or not" to "Yes". Set "Dump Interval (Days)" and "Time Limit(Days Before)". Click <OK> to confirm the settings.
