A Access Network Acknowledge Acknowledged A system implemented between the Local Exchange(LE) and user, replacing part or whole of the local line distribution network An action by an operator to confirm that an event or alarm condition has been noted. The alarm state then becomes Acknowledged. An alarm state applied to individual alarms from the Local Terminal (LCT) or EM (ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36)). Receive attention is applied to all other unserviced alarms as a secondary action. (ADMUX) -Transmission equipment through which a number of lower bit-rate channels may be passed in two directions, as a single higher bit-rate channel in each direction. Lower bit-rate channels may be added or removed through local traffic interfaces. A relationship formed between selected neighbouring routers and end nodes to exchange routing information.

Alarm Management

These are functions of the system in which the detection, correction of network failures and real-time detection are managed such that threats to the normal operation of the network are avoided. The category that defines the impact of an alarm on the network. The identity of the monitored entity with which the fault detector causing the alarm indication is associated. For example, STM-1 West, AU/VC-3 Number 2 West. The defined state within the alarm life-cycle. The fault type detected by the fault detector that causes that alarm indication to be given. Part of the Communications Address. This means to move to a long-term storage medium, rather than copy. A nominated timing source is available for synchronisation when there are no failure criteria associated with it, and any wait-to-restore period has finished. Consequently, an unavailable source has either failed or is undergoing a wait-to-restore period. The term 'available' and 'unavailable' are used when timing marker operation is disabled. Any time not deemed Unavailable Time (UAT) This is part of the Network Service Access Point address (see NSAP). AFI values are defined as X.213 for binary DSP syntax, and the following CCITT X.213 (ISO 8348) formats are supported: - X.121, this has a value of either 37 or 53 - ISO 3166, this has value of 39 - ISO 6253, this has value of 47.

B Bidirectional When used in the context of protection, the switching of traffic in both directions of transmission for the section or trail. Also known as double-ended. (BIP) - An error monitoring code. The rate of received data bits in error. A set of consecutive bits associated with a path; each bit belongs to one block only (ITU-T Recommendation G.826). A Block Error is counted whenever there are one or more BIP-n Errors detected in a BIP Check Block, a REI Count of one or more is detected, one or more CRC-n errors are detected in a CRC Check Block or a Frame word is detected as being in error. A group address that by convention means everyone. A type of trail originating from a single source, which may be terminated at one or more trail sinks. Broadcast is achieved by fanning out from connection Termination Points, along the trail, which have the capability to support broadcast cross-connections. The return direction of a broadcast trail is blocked and unavailable for use. This is a network interconnection method in which all nodes are connected by a two-way bus. An arbitration process controls access to the bus. For example, Ethernet.

C Card Protection Group Category A group of protected cards.
This is an attribute assigned by an operator to each possible fault. This attribute is used by the local alarm scheme to determine the visual indication to be given to the operator with respect to the type of maintenance action required. This attribute is also used to determine whether a particular fault is monitored by the entire alarm-processing scheme. (CAS) - Call control signalling transmitted within the bandwidth of the call it controls; also known as in-band signalling. In T1 transmission, channel associated signalling is performed by bit robbing. Each channel has its own dedicated signalling sub channel. Identifies a particular protected or protection section in a 1:N or M:N protection group. Circuit Metrics are the positive integral values associated with links. The links may be Ethernet, DCCm or DCCr, in an SDH network, and their default values are: Ethernet = 10, DCCm = 15 and DCCr = 20. As any link has two ends there is a metric value associated with each end. Separate metrics are used for Level-1 and Level-2 routing. This is a change of state, from Active to Inactive, of an alarm that has been serviced. also The clearing of a protection switching command. Defines the recursive dependency that exists between paths managed by the NCL. A section or trail may be referred to as a server. A server is able to support one or more client trails that are hierarchically dependent on that server. An error that is counted whenever there are one or more BIP-n errors detected in a BIP. This is the act of bringing a new multiplexer into a state where it is ready to be provisioned. Outofband signalling protocol for signalling between processor equipped switches using signalling channels that are separate from the from the users voice (or data) channels. A procedure whereby a number of virtual containers are associated, with the result that their combined capacity can be used as a single container across which the bit-sequence is maintained. Used to form a larger payload from the combining of consecutive, smaller payloads. Used to form a larger payload from the combining of spatially separated smaller payloads. This is a transport entity that is capable of transferring information between connection termination-points. A service in which data is presented, complete with a destination address, and the network delivers it on a best effort basis, independent of other data being exchanged between the same pair of users.

Connectionless Mode Network Service Connectionless Network Layer Service Connectionless Network Protocol

The ISO term for the datagram network service layer. This is a service layer that allows the transport of a quantum of information. It requires being set up by a signalling or administrative procedure. Connectionless Network Protocol CLNP (ISO8473), has been evolved for packet data transfer in network architectures that have multiple distributed paths. Data transfers between nodes have transient relationships one to another, that only last for the transfer of any particular Protocol Data Unit (PDU). A service in which a connection set up procedure must be implemented before data can be exchanged between the same pair of users. CDEG seconds are an SD mechanism that work in a similar manner to USE except that a separate degraded second threshold is used in place of the SES. A CDEG SD alarm is generated if the monitored block/BIP errors counts are in excess of the Degraded Second threshold for a duration greater than or equal to a userconfigured On threshold. The alarm is cleared if the block/BIP errors are less than the Degraded Second threshold for a duration greater than or equal to a user-configured Off threshold. The information structure that forms the network-synchronous information payload for a virtual container. A bus that connects the Multiplexer Controller to the traffic (line, tributary and switch) cards and the auxiliary card. This is a logical connection between two connection termination points on the same NE. Cross-connections may be fixed (as for some PDH multiplexers) or switchable (as in an SMA and/or CMUX). A series of consecutive seconds in available time in which the number of Block Errors or Code Errors exceeds the threshold for SES. During Performance Monitoring, Severely Errored Seconds are a subset of Errored Seconds, that is, ES is still incremented if the second is declared a SES. This is an error detection scheme in which this block check character is the remainder when certain mathematical functions have been performed on the transmitted data.

Initial System Parameters

The basic equipment configurations (that is, multiplexing method, card and slot allocation, synchronisation modes and priorities) required by the Multiplexer Controller to enable it to set-up the working environment of the multiplexer. One of two operation states of the Controller/Comms card. It indicates that the card does not have the initial system parameters configured. Resilience between domains is achieved by providing and configuring more than one point of interconnection between the domains. First and second choice routes between IS-IS domains and ISRA domains are given the names Internal and External. All IS-IS boundary nodes should be internally interconnected with two Level-2 routes to reinforce Inter-Domain Resilience. One of two traffic states for traffic cards. It indicates that extraction of this card may result in a loss of this traffic. The nominated state of a fault signal that is to be interpreted as a no fault condition. The nominated state can be either active or inactive, a fault only being raised upon a change to the complementary state An IS-IS Block is said to be formed when IS-IS boundary nodes of IS-IS composites are interconnected. The IS-IS Block prevents ISIS protocols being exchanged over the link, while still allowing communication to take place between the IS-IS boundary nodes. The block is not essential but sometimes needed to enable IS-IS networks to be constructed. The block circumvents a limitation with IS-IS that only allows two RAPs to a single destination under complex situations. The block is introduced into the IS-IS network by marking the communication interface as external. IS-IS boundary nodes define the entry and exit points of IS-IS centre nodes at Level-1/2 routing, and form the boundary between IS-IS areas, Interim Static Routing Algorithm elements and the ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) LAN. Consists of a single IS-IS centre with one or more boundary nodes. If more than one boundary node is incorporated there must be a resilient Level-2 connection between every boundary node. A collection of IS-IS NEs that share the same area address. A collection of connected Areas. Routing domains provide full connectivity to all end systems within them. Intermediate System (IS) elements route inter-network information one to another using a dynamic routing protocol (ISO 10589). IS-IS element routing takes place when one IS element communicates with others, and each element creates routing tables within themselves containing information about the network topology these elements are interconnected into. Routing tables constructed in this manner are said to be dynamic. IS-IS routing allows the use of multiple area addresses for any individual NE. Therefore NEs can have multiple NSAP addresses. Interconnected IS-IS elements each containing multiple NSAP addresses, and sharing at least one area address one to another, adopt or share all of the area addresses, forming a common set of areas.

IS-IS Partition Repairs

The IS-IS Partition Repair function allows Level-1 communication to be maintained following a Level-1 break, between two isolated islands of the same area. This Level-1 communication repair uses a Virtual Level-1 path, which is actually between Level-2 elements. A Level-2 path must however be made available between the isolated islands. When IS-IS centre nodes are directly interconnected, they form an IS-IS Routing Domain. IS-IS protocols are exchanged within an ISIS routing domain. IS-IS uses the concept of assigning a positive integral numerical value to every circuit, link or path. These numerical metric values are added to determine the cost of an overall route. Only one metric type (default metric) is supported by Marconi SONET/SDH products. Routes are selected on a lowest overall cost basis. The ISO standard intra-domain routing protocol, documented in ISO 10589.

IS-IS Routing Metrics
IS-IS Routing Protocol L Lamp-lock
When this is active, if a transient alarm arises the associated warning LED is locked on - even after the alarm subsides so that an operator is made aware that the alarm has arisen. This is used to interconnect two geographically distant LANs IS-IS routing within an area. A Level-1 Routing Table contains all the system IDs of the IS-IS NEs that share the same area, plus topological information of the readability of these NEs. IS-IS routing between areas. A Level-2 Routing Table contains all area addresses and address prefixes that can be reached from that NE. A Level-2 Routing Table also contains information of all routes over which areas/prefixes can be reached, plus these routes cost or metric. Synchronous Transport Module (2.5 Gbit/s). This is the standard link layer protocol that defines the transmission and reception of information frames, the detection of errors and their correction by retransmission. A logical connection between connection termination points on two different NEs. LSP - A packet that is generated by a router operating a link state routing protocol (e.g. ISO 10589) listing the routers neighbours. State of rack alarm buses coupled with visual display provided by LEDs on end-of-shelf unit and cards. The hardware used to indicate local alarms. This includes end of shelf indicators and on-card fail indicators. Indicates what local alarm scheme actions have been performed on a specific alarm.

Local Area Network

LAN - usually a shared medium with broadcast capability providing logical full connectivity, typically over a limited geographical area (refer to the installation chapters of this manual). This is used as the means of providing the NE links to the ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) and generally the preferred metric choice for communications routing. An interface provided by the Multiplex Controller for the communications link between the equipment and the Local Terminal (LCT). LCT integrated into an element manager. Also known as ported LCT. An exchange on which user lines are terminated by an AN. An operator-controlled administrative state indicating that a resource is being used; that is, carrying traffic and, therefore, is not to be amended. A mode in which the multiplexer uses the recovered line timing from a given direction to time the outgoing signal in the same direction. An alarm condition indicating loss of alignment of the data received. An alarm condition indicating a detected loss of an incoming line signal. SONET/SDH traffic-path that cannot be further sub-divided. Pertaining to the VC-1/2 monitored entity.

ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) workstation, but connected to a ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) LAN. Distribution of data from one multiplexing frame structure into defined positions in another frame of the same rate. The mechanism by which an operator may communicate with one or more NEs. A method of interworking between an IS-IS domain and an ISRA domain, where the ISRA domain nodes share the same area address as the IS-IS border node the manual adjacency originates from. A manual adjacency is therefore a Level-1 static route. MTU - the largest packet size that can be transmitted between source and destination. MAC - a sub-layer of the data link layer, defined by the IEEE 802 committee, that deals with issues specific to a particular type of LAN. The identity of the Marconi ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) product within a network will have a designated MAC address, as its link with the network will always be through an Ethernet LAN. This is a bus that connects the Comms/Controller Card to the communications card. It is used for all communications between these two cards. A measure, as in Routing Metric, where the measure (for example, reliability, delay, bandwidth, load, hop count) is used by a routing algorithm to determine whether one route is better than another.

Multiplex Section Multiplex Section Overhead N National Number Negative Pointer Justification Event
This is the part of the NSAP address and is allocated by the appropriate national authority. A Negative Pointer Justification Event is defined when the frame rate of the VC is too fast with respect to the associated AU/TU requiring an extra data byte to be transmitted and the pointer values decremented. This is the part of the NSAP address and is used to select a particular network routing within a country. NDC tables provide ServiceOn Optical Element Manager (MV36) with the correct gateway selection information, when routing data to any particular NE. A multiplexer, line system terminal, regenerator, or any equipment that switches, multiplexes or regenerates traffic. An interface between a NE or gateway NE and the EM or LCT. This is an external network (managed or unmanaged) or an NE. NSAP - the ISO term for the quantity that specifies a client of a network layer running at a particular node. The ability to insert a communications link between two existing nodes without affecting current network routing. A timing source selected by the operator for synchronisation by inclusion in a priority table for a particular timing sink. This is a card that is in Standby mode (that is, not carrying traffic) in a protected arrangement. One of eight Slide-In card Unit (SIU) slots available on SMA-4, 16c or 16c+ sub-racks that can house 1.5/2Mbit/s, 34Mbit/s, 44Mbit/s, 140Mbit/s and STM-1 traffic cards and also SONET/SDH Combiner or VC-AM cards. The NB slots have access to line termination units (see also High Bandwidth (HB) slot). This is one of two equipment working modes. It indicates that communications link between the equipment and the EM has been established and the EM has read/write access (that is, EM_Control is enabled). This is one of two traffic states for traffic cards. It indicates that extraction of this card will not result in a loss of traffic. This is part of the NSAP. It determines what is interfaced to the network layer - for example, Application Program. Transport Layer or variant class of transport service.

This is one of two control states of the Controller/Comms Card. It applies to PMAs and SMA-n NEs. It indicates that the Controller/Comms Card recognises the SMC card on the new shelf. In this state, communication between the Controller/Comms Card and the traffic cards over the control bus is disabled. However, communications between the Controller/Comms Card and the Comms cards is enabled. Thus communication between the EM/LCT and MC is always enabled. A LED on a particular card that is lit, either autonomously or under control of the Controller/Comms Card, to indicate that the card is detecting a fault condition. It is not necessarily an indication that the card itself is faulty. This is one of two control states of the Controller/Comms Card. It indicates that the Controller/Comms Card recognises the SMC as belonging to the Shelf. Communication between the Controller/Comms Card, and traffic cards is enabled. (OSI) - The OSI model provides the basis for connecting open systems for distributed applications processing, where the term open denotes the ability of any two systems conforming to the reference model and the associated standards to connect. This is one of two operation states of the Controller/Comms Card. It indicates that the Controller/Comms Card has the initial system parameters configured. The user of an EM or LCT.

P Parked The state of an alarm in which it will cause no indication (other than receive attention or acknowledged) to be given on the end of shelf and rack alarm buses. This is an end-to-end connection at a specific bit rate. This is an alternative name for a trail. This provides for integrity of communication between the point of assembly of a virtual container and that of its disassembly. A mechanism provided for the purpose of confirming that an SONET/SDH trail is provisioned between desired end-points. The NEs at each end of the trail inject and monitor an operator-provided byte sequence into the path overhead. This is an information fault type attribute indicating the seriousness of a fault as perceived by an operator. A particular aspect of the system performance monitored by the equipment, used as the basic data for the generation of performance parameters and data reports. This is a stored performance data report pertaining to a performance data-reporting period that has expired.

Ping Techniques

Ping Techniques use the principle of sending and receiving test messages to determine routing paths, and the response to test messages by interconnecting and target nodes. Provides the offset of the start of the SONET/SDH traffic signal from the start of the frame. A connection, usually a trail, with exactly two ends (as opposed to a point-to-multi-point connection, which may have three or more ends, for example, multi-drop or broadcast). This is a physical connection point on a network node for either traffic or management sections. A positive pointer justification event is defined when the frame rate of the VC is too slow with respect to the associated AU/TU requiring a data byte to be omitted and the pointer values incremented. (PSAP) - An addressable point at which the presentation services (sixth layer of the OSI model) is made available. An element (SMA, SLT, C-Multiplexer) in which traffic is multiplexed/demultiplexed up to 2Mbit/s. A numeric value reflecting the importance attached to a fault. Can be in the range 1 (highest) to 255 (lowest). This is a term used by ITU-T to describe a possible explanation for the raising of a particular alarm. This is analogous to fault type as described in this document. This is a traffic section, configured between ports within the same protection group on two network nodes, for carrying traffic under non-failure conditions. This is a card that provides an alternative path to the worker under fail or forced switch conditions. This is a number of ports on a network node, one or more of which is designated as a protection port. Possible protection group types are: 1+1 and 1:N. This is a unique identity assigned to a port within a protection group. A network node may have zero or more dependent protection groups defined, depending on the capability of the network node. This is a traffic section, configured between ports within the same protection group, specifically for the purpose of carrying the traffic on failure of a protected section. Tandem Connection monitoring represents a relatively new requirement and the multiplexer is required to interwork with equipment that is incapable of supporting such a feature. To this end, pseudo TCM has been devised which consists of enhanced alarm and performance monitoring from the VCPOM function, which is re-mapped to appear at the outgoing interface (a nominated subnetwork boundary). Effectively, path alarms and performance are monitored for each path entering a subnetwork and also monitored for each path that exits the network. Thus by correlating the results from each end, the Network Manager can determine whether the traffic defect/degradation may have occurred within the current operator's network or the one before it.

Q Q-interface Qecc Interface Q3 Objects
The interface between the gateway NE and the EM. Only available at the gateway NE. The data communications interface that uses the embedded data communications channels within the STM-1 section overhead. Network Managers (such as MV38) maintain a software model of the network and its equipment. The model is an abstract representation of the network and its equipment. The architecture of the model may not be, and often is not, the same as the architecture of the real equipment. Q3 is a standardised way, used in Network Managers, of modelling telecommunications networks and equipment. Q3 objects are the elements making up this model. The objects are considered to perform certain standard telecommunications functions - adaptation, termination and connection - and have attributes associated with these functions. The Network Management software can manipulate these attributes, setting and getting their values, and performing other predetermined complex actions on them. To manage the equipment itself, the Network Manager issues instructions to the equipment in terms of set, get and actions on these Q3 objects. The equipment itself has to relate the values to be set or read to the registers in its hardware that relate to the attributes defined in the model. Each alarm is associated with a specific Q3 object in the Network Managers model.
R RAP Metrics Reachable Address Prefix Metrics, is the metric associated with the Level-2 Static Data that, in mixed ISRA/IS-IS routed networks, would normally be produced by the RTC. The metrics are associated with a route, as opposed to a link. The metric types are referred to as Internal and External, which are terms relating to the associated IS-IS domain. A method of interworking between an IS-IS domain and an ISRA domain, where the ISRA domain nodes have different area addresses from the IS-IS domain and border node. A Reachable Address Prefix is therefore a Level-2 static route. This is one of two equipment working modes. It indicates that a communications link between the equipment and the EM has been established and the EM has read/write access (that is, EM_Control is enabled). Altering the configuration of a multiplexer to accommodate different or new traffic. This is an alarm state, invoked by pressing a button on the end-ofshelf unit, applied to all currently unserviced alarms. A regenerator section is the part of a line system between two Regenerator Section Terminations (RST). The Regenerator Section overhead comprises Rows 1 to 3 of the section overhead of the STM-n signal. This term replaces FERF in later versions of ITU-T recommendations.

This term replaces FEBE in later versions of ITU-T recommendations. This is altering the configuration of an NE to accommodate new traffic. One multiplexer providing synchronisation for a number of multiplexers connected together to form a ring. This is a network interconnection method in which nodes are connected on a ring. Communication is usually in one direction around the ring. One or more traffic-sections between the same two NEs or subnetworks. The constituent sections may or may not take the same geographical path. Any node (PMA/SMA/SLA) connected to a LAN or that has more than two DDC connections. Has a routing table.

A single connection between two NEs that supports a client link connection. It can be a traffic section, or a management section (the latter may possibly be a digital user-loop section). It can be used to build a trail. This contains information added to the information payload to create an STM-N, and comprises Rows 1 to 3, Columns 1 to 9xn, and Rows 5 to 9, Columns 1 to 9xn, of the STM-N signal. It is used for checking traffic integrity and to provide the data comms channels. These are functions that manage the protection of network resources from unauthorised access through the management system, and also secure data integrity within the NMS. A facility to monitor the logged asynchronous alarm data available at the serial interface port of an EM work station. SAP - the address of a user of a service, a field that further defines an address (hence NSAP). Referring to an alarm in either the receive attention or acknowledged state.

This can be configured into the NE and used to characterise the display of alarms to an operator. Any second in available time in which the number of block errors or code errors exceeds the threshold for SES. During performance monitoring, Severely Errored Seconds are a subset of errored seconds; that is, ES is still incremented even if the second is declared a SES.

Sub-network

This is an operator aid to navigation, particularly of large networks, by dividing the network into manageable parts. A sub-network can contain NEs, grouped together by an operator for operational reasons, external networks, and other sub-networks. This is not to be confused with the use of routing domains in the data communications network. Change of state from active to inactive of an alarm that is unserviced. Set of digital transport structures, standardised for the transport of suitably adapted payloads over physical transmission networks. (SMA) Transmission equipment through which a number of lower-bit rate channels may be passed in two directions, as a single higher bit-rate channel in each direction. Lower bit-rate channels may be added or removed through local traffic interfaces. A Synchronisation Supply Unit (SSU) is a function for timing reference selection, processing and distribution. As a separate product the SSU function is called a Stand-Alone Synchronisation Equipment (SASE). This is the information structure used to support section-layer connections in the synchronous digital hierarchy. It comprises the information payload and the section overhead information. This is part of the NSAP. It is sometimes referred to as System Identification, the LAN address or element ID and is effectively the unique address of an NE.

T Tandem Connection Monitoring SDH has inherent monitoring of the VC trail to determine failures or degradations in transporting a payload across the SDH domain. Where such a trail crosses different operators' networks, this information is only of interest to the operator whose equipment is affected. Hence each operator only requires that the VC trail is monitored across the portion of the SDH network that is their reponsibility. To this end a sub-trail is embedded within the VC POH termed a Tandem Connection which provides such a facility. See also Pseudo Tandem Connection Monitoring. An operator can check data relating to a trail through the equipment by using TCM (Tandem Connection Monitoring). This is achieved by using overhead information in the N1/N2 bytes VC (OH) using a Tandem Connection Monitor between source and sink. Termination of Unavailability Event Through Timing Time slot Time slot number Timing Bus 1 An event that occurs when the threshold for consecutive non-SES is reached. A timing mode in which the line timing is passed through a multiplexer from west to east and /or east to west. A 64kbit/s channel within a framed 2Mbit/s signal (ITU-T Recommendation G.704). This identifies a 64kbit/s time slot within the 2048kbit/s V5.1 interface (ref. ETS 300 167 [2]). A means of identifying a tributary slot and port for use as a possible synchronisation source.

Timing marker (SSMB)

This is a field within the S1 byte of the Section Overhead for STM-N and in the TS0 for 1.544/2.048Mbit/s PDH Signals. The information it contains indicates the "quality" of the synchronisation source of the signal in which it is contained. This is a network interconnection configuration that remains invariant, irrespective of configuration changes to NEs, trails, etc. There are three generic forms of network interconnection topology: star, ring, and bus. Those cards occupying the line, switch and tributary card slots. An end-to-end path of a specified type across a network and made up of one or more link connections connected together by crossconnections. This is an information structure that adapts between the lower-order path-layer and the higher-order path-layer. One or more tributary units occupying fixed positions within a higher-order virtual container payload. A timing mode in which the line timing of the output is derived from that of the received line in a NE.

Traffic Cards Trail
Tributary Unit Tributary Unit Group Turnaround U Unacceptable Short-term Errors
A event occurring when the number (n) of consecutive SES for a particular error performance monitored entity exceeds a preset threshold. Unacceptable Short-term Errors are an SD mechanism linked to performance data recording and they make use of the same SES thresholds. A USE alarm is generated if the monitored block/BIP error counts exceed the SES threshold for a duration greater than or equal to a user-configured On threshold. The alarm is cleared if block/BIP errors are less than the SES threshold for a duration greater than or equal to a user-configured Off threshold. USE in effect does not represent a Signal Degrade in its strictest sense and effectively corresponds to Unavailable time.
Unavailable Seconds Count
A cumulative count indicating the number of seconds of a particular performance data reporting period during which the entity being monitored was deemed unavailable. A period starting at the beginning of the first second of a period of SES that exceeds the SUE threshold and ending at the beginning of the first second of a period of non-SES, which exceeds the TUE threshold. When used in the context of protection, this is the switching of traffic in one direction of transmission for the section or trail. Also known as single-ended. This is an operator-controlled administrative state indicating that a resource is not being used; that is, not carrying traffic and, therefore, can be amended. State of a new alarm before it is subject to receive attention, or is acknowledged.
