The Alarm Reference documentation consists of alarm printouts and diagnosis reports. The alarms have been divided into four groups, and each of
them is described in a dedicated piece of documentation.
The alarms are numbered in ascending order as follows:

a.Type of alarm printout

b.Name of the network element
c.Remote subscriber stage (4 characters)
Printed only if the object of the alarm is in a remote subscriber stage.
d.Computer sending the alarm
e.Alarm equipment type

Unknown equipment type is printed as ??????
f.Date and time
Start or termination time of the alarm.
g.Urgency level

""" 
""
 !# "!!$

Unknown urgency level is printed as a question mark (?).
The urgency level is output in all alarm printouts except notices (NOTICE). The urgency levels of terminated alarms are indicated by dots (.)
instead of asterisks (*).
h.Printout type
i.Alarm object
j.Position coordinates of the alarm object
k.Alarm issuer
The program block issuing the alarm. If the name of the program block issuing the alarm is not available, the family identifier of the program
block is output in hexadecimal form instead of the name.
If the alarm is set in a preprocessor plug-in unit, the plug-in unit name and index are output in this field (for example PCU_S-1). In this case, the
alarm concerns the functioning of the plug-in unit in question.

.((

12) Trial information

If the network element has been divided into a traffic transmitting part and a trial part, this field displays the text TRIAL if the alarm was issued in the trial side.
13)Recovery information
When recovery is informed of the alarm in order to start the automatic recovery actions, this field displays *RECOV*.
14)Processing information
If the alarm is set before the start-up of the distributed part of the alarm system, this field displays LIB. Note that this kind of alarm does not stay as an active alarm
and thus there will be no cancel printout for it.
15)Consecutive number
Failure printouts (***, **, *) are numbered in ascending order. With the help of the number the operating personnel can follow the update and cancel printouts of the
original failure printout.
16)Alarm number
Alarm number is an unambiguous identifier for an alarm. It is also a search index for the description of the alarm.
17)Alarm text
Alarm text is a short description of the alarm.
18)Supplementary information fields
19)Supplementary text
A more detailed text printed out in some alarms.
20)Alarm operating instructions
The user defines an operating instruction with the AOA MML command for an alarm. If the instruction has been defined, then it is displayed in the alarm printout.

The BTS alarm system receives alarm indications from the following sources in the radio network:
0BTS equipment alarms
0BTS software alarms
0external alarms from the BTS site
0alarms concerning PCM circuits in the radio network
0alarms from LAPD links in the radio network
0alarms from Abis interface equipment
0alarms from application programs of the BSC
0transmission equipment alarms.
This block diagram illustrates the structure of the BTS alarm system:

<


Alarms are written in a logical file. From the logical file, they can be directed to a local printer or to Nokia NetAct. The table below shows the logical files used
with alarms. For further information on the logical files used with alarms, refer to the Logical files directed to terminal devices section of :


Table: The logical files used with alarms

BTS notices and disturbances

Each alarm event, alarm and its cancellation, not filtered by the alarm system, is saved in a log file. This log data is called alarm history. Using the command
group commands, you can display the history data concerning the system's alarm situation. For further information on displaying alarm history, refer to 
   
( ) for DX 200 alarms, and      
( ) for BTS alarms.
You can either display the alarm history, or merely the active alarms, on the selected output device.
The printout format is the same as in alarm printouts.
It is recommended that you print out the active alarms every day. Check if they require maintenance actions.
A DX 200 alarm whose object unit is not in the normal working state is normally filtered by the alarm system. When the alarm is filtered (by any means), it is
neither printed out nor stored in the alarm history. However, an alarm that is filtered purely on the basis of the state of its object unit is printed out when
displaying active alarms.
You can print out active DX 200 alarms with the command , and active BTS alarms with the command
.
You can display the DX 200 alarm history data with the command
, and the BTS alarm history data with the command .
