Alarm and Performance Analysis
Alarm monitoring of degrading signal
Description:
Students will be paired in teams of 2. During this exercise, one student will use the TCO to monitor
alarm conditions on each NE while the other team member degrades the signal by operating the dial on
the variable attenuator. Once the alarms have be noted, on one NE, the students will trade jobs and
repeat the exercise on the other NE.
Objectives:
Be able to monitor alarm conditions and describe the progression of alarm conditions that precede and
occur during a period of signal degradation.
1. Open the TCO and log onto one of the NE IP addresses assigned by the instructor.
2. Launch the Alarm Monitor.
3. Note any existing alarms that are associated with the NE.
4. Have one team member operate the variable attenuator.
5. Record the resulting alarm information in the chart below.
NE Address _________________________
Event Date & Time Probable Cause Alarm Type Severity
6. Team members trade tasks and perform Steps 1-5 for the other NE.
