INADS (INADS Link)
The INADS Link 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 DEFINITY Generic 1 and INADS and verify that the alarm notification
process works correctly. An INADS technician can test the process remotely to
verify that alarms are 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.
Short and Long Test Sequences
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
issued, the user immediately sees either the
Command successfully
completed
or
Command failed
message. When a previously run 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 two minutes
(the test still runs even if Alarm Origination is disabled). The two-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
