test inads-link
Issue 4 May 2002
8-447555-233-123
Once the call is answered by INADS, the system sends a message with a test
alarm type. INADS acknowledges receipt of the message and creates a trouble
ticket. The trouble ticket is closed immediately and has a “INADS LINK TEST”
message entered in the description field. If an alarm is raised while the test call is
up, the system does not send an alarm message over the existing link. The
normal retry mechanism is followed, which means an attempt to make a call to
INADS to report the error takes place 7 minutes later. An INADS trouble ticket is
created only if the connection is successfully established and a message is sent
to the system acknowledging that INADS received the system message.
The Maintain Process Circuit Packs field must be set to yes on the inads
and technician permission forms. This provides permissions to execute the test
inads-link command. This field can be changed by executing a change
permission login command.
No alarms are raised on the system and attendant alarm and acknowledgment
lamp states are not changed as a result of the test inads-link command. The test
does not run during periodic or scheduled maintenance.
