Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance This chapter describes the general maintenance of the R2MFC MBM after it is installed and is running properly.
Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance During call setup, the following information is passed between the BCM and the CO: 1 Dialed digits — Dialed digits are passed without any change. Up to 24 digits can be dialed. The MFC trunk is capable of repeating dialed digits on outgoing calls to the CO, when requested according to protocol. Digits are passed immediately to BCM as they are received (PRI overlap mode) on incoming calls from CO to BCM.
Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance 63 Diagnostic tools The R2MFC MBM has three diagnostic settings and two loopback settings available to help with the troubleshooting process. When the R2MFC MBM is running in diagnostic or loopback mode, the signals from the BCM to the CO, or from the CO to the BCM, can be intercepted by placing diagnostic equipment in the bantam jacks on the front of the R2MFC MBM. This allows the external MFCR2 link, or the internal E1, to be checked for communication errors.
Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance Alarms Performance is monitored on both the internal (PRI) and external (MFC) links, but the actions when errors occur are different. Alarms and events handling include three types of actions: 1 Propagating Alarms: a Alerts the far-end by transmitting remote alarm indication (RAI). b Passes alarm conditions from link to link.
Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance 65 Group II errors Group II alarms occur when an alarm persists for a predefined period. The alarm is considered cleared when it does not occurred for a predefined period. See Table 11 for incoming-signal Group II errors listed from highest to lowest priority. Group II errors are ordered by priority; when a high priority error exists, any errors of lower priority are irrelevant.
