The QPRI system carries data traffic onto a T1 transmission facility. Each port provides T1 transport bandwidth of n×56 kbit/s or

n×64 kbit/s trunks.

The QPRI system provides Advanced Automatic Protection Switching (AAPS) to alternate T1 lines using three hardware options:

•

QPRI with CIM 2064 (P/N 311-101467-001); four net ports

•

QPRI with CIM 2068 (P/N 311-101500-001); four equipment ports

•

QPRI with CIM 29003 (P /N 311-101501-001); two equipment ports, two net ports

The QPRI system provides an alternate ISDN route for digital data traffic when the regular T1 line is unavailable.

The QPRI system provides an alternate T1 route for digital data traffic when the regular T1 line is unavailable.

Crosspoint Switch

Drop, Insert, and Bypass Mode

Alarm Management

The QPRI system provides flexibility for designing data paths to and from multiple AS2000 T1 modules across the backplane. Incoming and outg oing channels can be set up to send data traffic.

The QPRI supports drop, insert, and bypass functionality via its crosspoint switch. Further, the drop, insert, and bypass configuration helps reduce the number of network (T1) links among different sites.

QPRI alarms are reported to the NCM. These alarms are viewed using the NCM Craft interface, Telnet, SNMP, or Node Manager.

2. R) Call Profile Ref—Select an identifying reference number that is distinct from any previously used IDs for the selected port. (Use the Modify option to change existing call profiles.) You may choose a number from 1 th rough 48 for this reference ID number. If you do not choose a number, the QPRI will select the lowest available reference ID.

3. D) Call Direction—Select whether the call profile is for incoming calls, outgoing calls, or both. “Deleted” invalidates the call profile. “Both” is recommended.

4. O) No. of Own Digits—Number of digits in your phone number. Enter the number of digits in your phone number (1 through

15). If the number is smaller than the length of an existing string associated below, you will be prompted to confirm whether or not you want t o trunc ate the stri ng. If the response to the prompt is Y, the associated string wil be truncated; otherwise, the length will not be accepted.

5. N) Own Call Number—Enter your own phone number (The number from which you are calling). If the entere d str i ng exceeds the associated length as specified above, the string will be truncated.

For outgoing calls, your “Own Call Number” is the CLID (calling line ID) or station ID (SID).

For incoming calls, your “Own Call Number” is the DNIS (dialed number information service).

Talk to your own telephone department or carrier to decide how to assign th e call nu mber.

Verilink QPRI 2921 2-11

Quick Set- Up

6. I) Ext Numbering Plan—A sk your NSP for their external numbering plan. Your choices are “Unknown”, “ISDN-E.164”, “Telephone-E.163”, or “Private”.

7. U) Ext Numbering Type—Ask your NSP for their number type (usually National) . Your choices are “Unknown”, “International”, “National”, or “Local”.

8. C) Ext No. of Digits—The number o f di gi ts in the external phone number (1 through 15). If the number is smaller than the length of an existing string associated below, you will be prompted to confirm whether or not you want to truncate the string. If the response to the prompt is Y, the associated string will be truncated; otherwise, the length will not be accepted.

9. P) Ext Call Number—Enter the external phone number being called (The number you are calling). If the entered string exceeds the associated length as specified above, the string will be truncated. On incoming calls, this number is the CLID or SID. For outgoing calls, this is the dialed number and will be delivered as DNIS at the receiving end.

10. T ) Transfer Mode—If either or both ends of the ISDN circuit have AMI, choose “Restricted” transfer mode and “56K” for the rate adaption. If both ends are B8ZS, choose “Unrestricted” and “None” for the rate adapti on. (Ask your NSP).

11. B) Call Bandwidth—For Multirate ISDN, set “Call Bandwidth” option to “Multirate”. Select the desire d number of multirate channels, up to 24. Otherwise, you have the option of B1=64K.

12. M) Multirate Count—Select the desired number of multirate channels, up to 24.

13. A) Rate Adaption— If either or both ends of the ISDN circuit have AMI, and “Restricted” transfer mode has been selected, choose “56K” for the rate adaption. I f both ends are B8ZS, and “Unrestricted” transfer mode has been selected, choose “None” for the rate adapti on. Rate adaption is diff erent from restricted or unrestricted mode.

14. E) Test Call Interval (mi n.)—Set the interval time for test calls. Choose 0, and this feature is di sa bl e d . DO NOT use test calls.

15. S) Send Call Profile—Select this option to

SF provides traffic signaling and framing. It is sometimes referred to as D4.

Caution: Setting the framing to SF renders other parameters—such as FDL, below inoperative.

ESF provides cyclic redundancy check, performance monitoring, data checking, and link bits (Facility Data Link, or FDL).

Line Coding: Use this option to choose Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) or Bipolar Eight-Zero Substitution (B8ZS) as dictated by your T1 facility.

B8ZS is a protocol that replaces eight consecutive Zero bits with two intentional bipolar violations (BPVs) that are not counted as errors by the B8ZS equipment. B8ZS enables each DS0 to transmit at 64 kbit/s with unlimited zeros. This option overrides any selected network density enforcement.

AMI is a T1 signal in which successive Ones (pulses) alternate in polar ity and in which Zeros (spaces) are of zero amplitude. AMI is the original T1 line format that does not support long strings of zeros. Normally, this option is used in conjunction with the network density enforcement option.

Select SF for installations not supporting ESF.

This is the recommended option for ISDN.

0 db: if the repeater is between 2000 and 3000 feet from the CSU, or if you are using a network int erface unit (smar t jack) used by most phon e companies.

-7.5 db: if the repeater is between 1000 and 1999 feet from the CSU.

Use this menu to determine the transmit timing source of the QP R I modules. If the QPRI module derives its timing from another card in the shelf, enter the slot of the module to be the timing source. This includes the option of setting the QPRI as the timing source for the shelf.

Select primary, secondary, and tertiary timing sources. The secondary and tertiary timing sources provide a backu p f o r the primary timing source. The Auto Restore option determines which timing source is used when the primary timing source fails, restores, and then remains viable for a period of 60 seconds.

If the primary source fails, the secondary source becomes the timing source. When the primary source recovers and the Auto Restore option is set to “Yes”, the primary source resumes service as the QPRI module’s timing source. If the Auto Restore option is set to “No”, the secondary source remains the timing source until you manually reconfigure the primary source, or set its Auto Restore option to “Yes”.

NOTE:

For ISDN, the netwo rk ALWAYS supplies a cloc k that MUST be the source.

Line Loopback (LLB): This option tests the network line from the far-end node. With Line Loopbacks, incoming signals are looped around and sent back toward the netw ork. The service provider or f ar-end node admini strator can then determine if the network line is good.

n

Payload Loopback (PLB): This option tests the QPRI from the far-end node. In this case, the data goes through the network line and the QPRI framer before it is looped back toward the network.

n

Local Loopback (RLB): This option tests all of the QPRI. Also known as a Repeater Loopback, the data sent from the data equipment passes thro ugh the QPRI up to the network interface and back to the equipment without passing through the network line.

Errored Seconds (ES): A second with one or more AIS, LOS, or LOF defects. Unavailable Seconds (UAS): Co un t ed fo r every second in which an Una vailable Signal St ate

n

occurs with the onset of 10 contiguous SES errors. It is also defined as the number of seconds a service is unavailab l e due to a Lo ss of Fra me ( L OF ) co ndition. The UAS condition is stop ped when the failure condition clears.

Bursty Seconds (BES): A second having between 2 and 319 CRC-6 (Cyclical Redundancy Check error events.

Severely Errored Seconds (SES): This error counts one second intervals with an AIS or CRC error.

Loss of Signal (LOS) Seconds: A second during which the QPRI is in a Loss of Signal state. LOS is declared upon detecting 175 consecutive zeros, it is cleared with the receipt of the next 1 bit.

Severely Errored Framing (SE F) Se conds: Those seconds in which two or more fr aming bit errors occur withi n a 3-m illis econd p eriod . In ESF mod e, this inte rval may o r may n ot co inci de with an ESF multiframe.

Loss-of-Frame (LOF) Seconds: An LOF alarm is declared when a 3-second interval of

n

continuous Out-Of-Frame (O OF) or Loss-Of-Signal (LOS) state is dete cted. If at least 10 seconds elapse without an LOS or LOF error, the LOF alarm is cleared.

Out-of-Frame (OOF) Seconds: A condition when any three of four consecutive frame bits

n

received from the T1 line are incorrect.

A

C

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) Seconds: A count of one-second intervals containing one or more

n

AIS defects. AIS is an unframed All-Ones bit pattern that indicates an alarm condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment. This is also called an All-Ones Keep-Alive or Blue Alarm Signal. An AIS defect is declared when there are 3 or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and there is an LOF defect. It is cleared when there are 3 or more zeros in two frames or the LOF defect no longer exists.

Controlled Slip Seconds: This error indicates that in a one second interval one or more slip

n

events occurred. An accurate count of controlled slips that occur can only be made at the terminating network element where the slips take place.

The current version of the firmware does not support this feature.

For example, if the LOF interval is set to 100 seconds, and the LOF threshold is set to 5 seconds, then an alarm is sent if more than 5 errored seconds occur during a 100-second interval. The erro red count resets to zero at the end of the interval, unless there is an alarm condition, and the first second of the next interval is also errored. The alarm s tate continues until a new i nterval contains no errors in the first second.

circuit is the path on whi ch data travels between a port at the source end and a port at the destination end. The port can be a T1 or data port. T1 port circuit size is in number of timeslots, 1 through 24. The equip ment port circuit size is in 56k or 64k bit increments.

You can mix T1 and data ports as source and destination ends. Data-to-data po rt circuits are limited to inter-modu le only.

For ISDN (dial backup switch) circuits, the ISDN port must be the destination port. (Equipment ports are usually the source ports and net ports are usually the destination ports.)

Use this option to create a n ew circu it. S pecify the ID fo r th e circui t port. The ID number must be uni que (12 characters maxim um). Enter which timeslots will leave the source port, and which timeslots will end at the destination port (from 1 to 24). Specify if the timeslots are 56kbit/s or 64kbit/s in bandwidth.

Circuit IDs identify particular circuits. For instance, if you build a circuit on card 3 fr om Net Port 1 to Net Port 2, the ID can be 312. Or, use names to identify the circuits. The following graphic shows that Circuit 1 has 1 to 15 timesl ots and connects Source Port Net 1 to Destination Port Net 3. Circuit 2 has timeslots 16 to 24 an d connects Source Port Net 1 to De stination Port Net 4.

Interpreting Alarms

Troubleshooting

Controller card(s) poll the various modules for alarms. If alarm reporting is enable d for the node and for the module (s), the node controller card retrieves and sends the alarm to Access Manager 2000, Node Manager 2000, or an SNMP agent. Various al arms can also be set up via the NCM 2000 module to trigger the dial backup or backup T1 as part of the Advanced Automatic Protection Switching feature.

An alarm list is provided under th e alarms displays of the various options of AM2000, NM2000, SNMP, or ASCII.

Alarms can also be automatically sent to a specified printer by setting up the printer address in the various management utilities menus.

The alarm buffer displays the following information abo ut alarms (This information may vary depending on the controller module and management method used):

•

Whenever the system powers up and any module does a selftest

•

Power is lost from one of the redundant power supplies

•

A default or user-designated threshold is exceeded

•

A Yellow Alarm is received from the network (DS1)

•

An unframed all-ones or alarm indi cation signal (AIS) is reveived from the network

•

There is a loss of signal (LOS) or loss of frame (LOF)

•

A CSU or Data Port loopback is present

•

A module fails

•

A module is removed from the shelf

What To Do About Alarms

Some alarms clear after the user-configured timeout has expired. Other alarms require co rrective action.

•

If an alarm has been cleared, no other action is required.

•

If there is a loopback present, unless you are intentionally testing, remove the loopback. (Only if the loopback is from your end. If the loop was initiated by your network service provider, check with their test facility before taking down the loop.)

•

For an LOF, you may have a telco or module problem. To test, do an RLB. If there is no LOF indicated by the test, the problem is with the telco.

•

For an LOS, check your router cables, power, and ports.

•

For a power-up self-test failure, reseat the module a few times to see if it will power up and pass the self test. If it does not pass after repeated self tests, replace the module.

Troubleshooting

Alarm Records

Every alarm record that displays is “active” in the database until you do something about it. Do the following with the alarm records:

•

Deactivating alarm records is a database management function. As long as an alarm is active, you can view it onscreen, using the one of the management options on the ASCII interface, AM2000, or Node Manager 2000. When you deactivate an alarm, it’s still in the database, but not viewable on screen. Deactivated alarms can be archived, printed, or deleted.

•

Archiving an alarm record stores it to a disk file you specify.

•

Printing an alarm record p rints a copy of all active and deactivated alarms.

•

Deleting an alarm record re moves it from the database. To delete an alarm, first d eactivate it.

Alarm List

Table 4-1 Alarms

Fault conditions can result in critical, major, or minor alarms. In addition, a fault condition can also result in a Carrier Failure Alarm (CFA).

Alarm Classification/ Alarm Type

Critical Alarms

Carrier Failure Alarm (CFA)

Major Alarms

Alarm Type Description

Loss of Signal (LOS)

Description

A critical alarm indicates the node or node components have failed. Only the loss-of-clock (LOC) error condition triggers a critical alarm. This error causes the system clock to fail and prevents data from being transmitted.

Loss-of-clock causes the System LED to flash red. It causes a major alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.

A carrier failure alarm (CFA) is activated whe n certain major alarm error conditions occur, causing the port to disrupt traffic along the line. When the CFA is activated, the line is not useable—preset by the user—for 2 to 60 seconds. All traffic is re m oved from the line. The alarm re m ains active until the port is reconfigured.

A major alarm fault condition seriously affects performance. It prevents data from being reliably transmitted across the circuit. When a major alarm is declared, the module sends a message to the ASCII interface and Node Manager, lights the appropriate LED indicator, and trips the alarm relay. The following error conditions must persist for at least one second for a major alarm to be declared.

This condition occurs when the network signal is absent, and exceeds a predefined loss-of-signal threshold. An LOS alarm on a network line is declared when more than 175 consecutive zeros are detected on input to the receiving equipment. An LOS after o ne continuous seco nd causes a major alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.

This alarm activates the CFA if the LOS is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as defined by the user).

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)

Loss of Frame (LOF) (T1 Only)

4-4 Verilink QPRI 2921

Using an unframed ALL-ONEs bit pattern, an AIS alarm indicates that an alarm condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment. This is also called an ALL-ONEs Keep-Alive or Red Alarm Signal. An AIS defect is declared when there are 3 or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and an LOF defect. It is cleared when there are 3 or more zeros in two frames or the LOF defect no longer exist s .

This alarm activates the CFA if the AIS is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as defined by the user).

This alarm is declared when a 3-second interval of continuous Out-Of-Frame (OOF) or Loss-Of-Signal (LOS) state is detected. An LOF alarm is clear ed when at least 10 seconds of continuous non-LOS or non-LOF condition exists.

This alarm activates the CFA if the LOF is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as defined by the user).

Troubleshooting

Alarm Classification/ Alarm Type

Loss of Frame Alignment (E1 Only)

Frame Alignment Signal Error Rate (FASER) (E1 Only)

Loss of TS16 Multiframe Alignment (LOMA) (E1 Only)

Minor Alarms

Description

This condition occurs when three consecutive in-error frame alignment signals (words) are received, or when Bit 2 in a frame containing the nonframe alignment signal (N FAS wor d ) is received in error three consecu t ive times.

The condition clears when the following even ts are satisfied:

• The frame alignment signa l is detec t ed in fra me N.

• The non-frame alignment signal 1 is detected in frame N+1.

• The frame alignment signa l is detec ted in fra me N+ 2. Loss-of-frame alignment (LOFA) after one continuous second causes a major

alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM. This alarm activates the CFA if the LOFA is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as

defined by the user). This alarm indicates that the FAS error rate exceeds a user-selectable

threshold of 10

-3

or 10-6 for at least four seconds. This user-selectable alarm can be designated as a major or minor alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.

This alarm activates the CFA if the FASER is active from 12 to 60 seconds (as defined by the user).

This condition occurs when the module c anno t find the mul tiframe align ment signal (MAS) pattern on TS16 when enabled for CAS signaling.

This alarm activates the CFA if the LOMA is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as defined by the user).

Minor alarm fault c ond itio ns do not affec t traf fi c alo ng the network line . They generate a minor alarm.

Alarm Type Description

Power Supply

In redundant power supply configurations, t

the redundant power supplies has fail ed or has been removed from the shelf.

Missing Remote

Alarm Indication (RAI)

RAI. This alarm indicates that the remote end is in a state of alarm. A Remote Alarm or Remote Alarm Indication is the alarm a receiving channel bank or multiplexer sends to the other end of the circuit when it detects a Loss Of Signal or Loss Of Frame. There is a 2- to 3-second integration period upon detection of LOS or LOF before a Yellow Alarm is sent to the far-end equipment. This condition is also referred to as a Yellow Alarm.

Bipolar Violation (BPV) Threshold

Severely Errored Second (SES)

A violation of the T1 bipolar AMI transmission pattern requi ri ng successive Ones (pulses) to be transmitted as pulses of opposite polarities. A BPV alar m indicates transmission errors. However, B8ZS patterns contain intentional BPVs that are not counted as errors.

15 min. Threshold/ SES 24 hr. Thr eshold—An SES alarm is declared when 320 or more ESF error events occur within one seco nd, o r when an OOF (Out- O fFrame Second) occurs. An SES is a one-second period containing greater than 30% errored blocks (more than 1 errored bit) or at least one Severely Disturbed Period (SDP).

Bit Error Rate (BER) Threshold

The Bit Error Rate is the ratio of the number of bit errors received to the total number of bits transmitted in a given interval. The BER threshold indicates the level above which a CSU alarm is gen era ted an d repo rted .
