INADS (INADS Link)
The INADS Link maintenance object (MO) represents the software and
communications link required by the switch to make a call to the Initialization and
Administration System (INADS). The purpose of the INADS Link MO is to check
the communications link between the system and INADS and verify that the
alarm notification process works correctly. An INADS technician can test the
process remotely to verify that alarms will be reported to INADS, or a system
technician may want to test the connection while on-site at installation time or
during subsequent service calls.
Although the INADS Link MO is never alarmed, the errors are logged. The errors
are only logged as a result of the
test inads-link
command being issued.
Error Log Entries and Test to Clear Values
The Hardware Error Log entries are described as part of the INADS Link Test
description below.
System Technician-Demanded Tests: Descriptions
and Error Codes
The
test inads-link
command is different from other test commands. This
command does not have a long or short option, and the test on the INADS Link
does not have an associated test number. When the
test inads-link
command is
issued, the user immediately sees either the ‘‘Command successfully completed’’
or ‘‘Command failed’’ message.
INADS Link Test (No Test Number)
The INADS Link Test attempts to place a call to INADS (in the background) to
verify the communications link to INADS. When the
test inads-link
command is
entered, the user immediately sees either Command successfully
completed or Command failed. The “Command failed” message appears
when a previously run test inads-link command is in progress or the system has
active alarms which must be reported to INADS. The “Command successfully
completed” means the switch will start the attempt to call INADS in 2 minutes (the
test will still run even if Alarm Origination is disabled). The 2-minute delay allows
a remote INADS technician time enough to hang up the call and thus free up the
INADS line so that the switch can call INADS back. As error conditions are
encountered, errors are logged against INADS. Error codes 1 through 9 can be
logged if the test result was “Command successfully completed” and Error
Codes 10 and 11 can be logged if the test result was “Command failed.” An error
