Customer-Provided Alarming Device Test (#115)
The Customer-Provided Alarming Device (CPAD) Test closes the relay that
activates the CPAD for 1-minute only within the port network specified. If it takes
longer than 1-minute to check that the CPAD has been activated, the Repeat field
on the
test customer-alarm UUC
command can be used to close the relay for
up to 99 minutes. Note that when the repeat option is used, the results for Test
#115 come back immediately and, for each test that passed, the CPAD is kept on
for that many minutes. The CPAD does not go off after 1-minute and then come
back on. Instead, the CPAD is kept on continuously for the entire time. If the
CPAD is being activated and deactivated in a flickering fashion, there is a
problem with either the CPAD, or the SYSAM, or the EPN Maintenance circuit
pack.

Result Description/ Recommendation
Any ABORT Internal system error
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals for a maximum of 5 times.
PASS The switch software successfully sent the request to the SYSAM or EPN
Maintenance circuit pack to turn on the CPAD. The CPAD must be
physically inspected to verify that it is working. If the CPAD is working but
the customer has complained that the CPAD did not indicate a system
alarm when it occurred, then check the administered alarm level for turning
on the CPAD. This is on the display system-parameter maintenance form.
Compare this level with the customer’s specifications. If the level does not
match the customer’s specifications, change it using the change
system-parameter maintenance form. If Test #115 passes, and the CPAD
is not being activated, check the connection of the CPAD to the SYSAM or
EPN Maintenance circuit pack. If the CPAD can be activated but cannot be
deactivated, first check to make sure Emergency Transfer is not activated in
the affected port network via the status port-network command.
Emergency Transfer can be forced to manual OFF via the Emergency
Transfer switch on the SYSAM or EPN Maintenance circuit pack. If
Emergency Transfer is OFF and the CPAD still cannot be deactivated,
check the administered levels for the CPAD via the display
system-parameter maintenance form and compare against the alarm
levels currently present in the system (display alarms command).
