BTS LMT Alarm Message Parameters
Depending on the type of alarm and in which window it is viewed, an alarm message contains all or most of the parameters
listed in this section.
Message Identity The identity number given to the alarm message stored in the database.
Event Time The time the message was issued at its source or received at the BTS LMT.
Classification The characteristics of the alarm, consisting of:
Alarm Class name and number - as shown in the Alarm Dictionary
E Class 1: CLK Alarms
E Class 2: OMU Alarms
E Class 3: SW-AN Alarms
E ..
E Class 11: BTS-TRANS Alarms
Alarm Type name and number - as shown in the Alarm Dictionary
E Communication - a problem with a procedure or process used to convey information from one point to another in the
network.
E Quality of Service - degradation in the quality of service in the network.
E Processing Error - a software or processing fault.
E Equipment - an equipment fault.
E Environmental - a problem in the enclosure containing the equipment.
Alarm Number - dependent on the Alarm Class and Type. See the appropriate dictionary entry for the valid alarm numbers for a
particular alarm
Alarm Condition - has one of the following values:
E begin - alarm on. For fatal failures, the affected SBL changes state to FLT or FOS. For non-fatal failures, the affected SBL
changes state to FIT
E end - alarm off. Indicates the successful recovery of the system. The affected SBL may not change state if other alarms related
to the SBL are on
E event - occurrence of anomaly. No action is required unless it occurs frequently. Event alarms are of short duration and the
affected SBL does not change state. The system retry/recovery mechanism has cleared the fault.
