Yellow Alarm Inquiry Test (#141)
Once the Yellow alarm is confirmed, all trunks on the DS1 board are put into the out-of-service
state. The Inquiry test will be run every 10 minutes until the Yellow Alarm is cleared. When the
Yellow Alarm is cleared, all trunks on the DS1 board are restored back to their previous service
state before the Yellow Alarm was raised.
The Yellow Alarm corresponds to the yellow F2 state documented in CCITT recommendation
I.431.
This test is run on the following maintenance objects:
● DS1-BD (DS1 Interface Circuit Pack)
● MAPD-BD (MAPD Interface Circuit Pack)
● MG-DS1 (DS1 Interface Media Module)
● UDS1-BD (UDS1 Interface Circuit Pack)
Remote Multiframe Alarm
A Remote Multiframe Alarm (RMA) indicates that the remote DS1 endpoint is in a Loss of
Multiframe Alarm condition while the DS1 board is administered using the DMI-BOS
common-chel signaling. The RMA is handled as a Yellow alarm.
Yellow F5 State Alarm
For 32-chel E1 operation with CRC4 on, the F5 fault state is defined as a fault in the
user-network interface, specifically in the direction from the user to the network. Refer to CCITT
recommendation I.431
