Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ExternalTimingE1MIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ExternalTimingE1MIB::mscLpEE1RxAisAlarm

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.29.16.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This attribute indicates whether an AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) alarm has been entered. The AIS Alarm state is entered when AIS defects have been observed and accumulated for 2.5 seconds +/- 0.5 second. An AIS defect is detected after having received less than 3 zeros in a 2048 bit period. If the AIS defects are intermittently occurring, the AIS defect accumulator is decremented at a rate of 1/ 10 of the incrementing rate (alarm integration ratio of 1/10), with all measurement based on a 200 ms polling cycle. The port goes into an operational state of disabled for the duration of an AIS alarm state. The AIS alarm state is cleared when AIS defects are absent for 10 seconds +/- 0.5 second.

What is mscLpEE1RxAisAlarm?

This object indicates whether an AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) alarm is currently active on this external E1 timing port, declared after AIS defects accumulate for about 2.5 seconds, and cleared after 10 seconds without AIS defects. While this alarm is active, the port's operational state is disabled. An admin seeing this alarm on(0) knows the timing port is receiving an AIS pattern, typically indicating an upstream failure being signaled downstream rather than a local fault on this port.
