TAP-146
Address ‘Traffic Squelched’
NOTE:
The traffic squelched condition indicates that multiple failures have
occurred in the ring network and have resulted in the traffic being squelched
(stopped) to eliminate any possibility of it being misrouted. A traffic
squelched condition is normally cleared by correcting the associated
condition(s) that caused the traffic squelched condition.
1. At the CIT, select FAULT-Retrieve-Alarms (and Status) to obtain the
Active Alarms and Status Report.
2. Referring to the report obtained in Step 1, are there any conditions other than
traffic squelched listed?
If YES, then continue with Step 3.
If NO, then initiate a Trouble Report to the remote FT-2000 network ele-
ment (or source of failure) stating the traffic squelched condition.
3. Referring to the report obtained in Step 1, identify the topmost condition other
than the traffic squelched condition.
4. Find the condition identified in Step 3 in Table A of TAP-102 and go to the indi-
cated TAP to clear that condition.
