ISDN

The ISDN object is a child of the Signaling object. It represents the NE's ISDN capability, providing status information and allowing you to suspend or resume all ISDN communications for the NE by deactivating or reactivating a single object. It also acts as a container to group together its child ISDN Primary Rate Interface, ISDN Interface Profile and ISDN Call Diagnostics objects and their child objects, and to provide overall status information for them.

This object is pre-configured (configuration information is delivered with the NE), and you cannot create or delete it.


Parameter

Access

Description
Deactivation mode Change Specifies how child objects should be deactivated when deactivating this object. Values:
  • Normal (default)
    Shut down child objects normally before deactivating the object.
  • Quiesce
    Deactivating the ISDN object in quiesce mode will wait for all existing child objects using the object to be shut down before deactivation. No new child objects of this ISDN object can be activated during this deactivation period.
  • Abort
    Deactivate the object and all its child objects immediately. (This may result in errors at remote systems.)
Alarm state Read only Specifies whether any alarms are currently raised for this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - the object is not operating normally, and needs operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which this object depends is not operating normally.
Alarm log correlator Read only Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last alarm event for this object. This field is reset when the Attention Required alarm events is reset to zero.
Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attention Required.
Alarm state changed timestamp Read only The time at which the Alarm state last changed.
Alarm events reset timestamp Read only The time at which the Attention Required alarm events was last reset to zero.
ISDN Primary Rate Interface Attention Required alarms Read only The total number of child ISDN Primary Rate Interface objects (and their child objects) that are in Attention Required state.
ISDN Primary Rate Interface Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset The total number of times that the alarm state for an ISDN Primary Rate Interface object (or one of its child objects) has gone to Attention Required.
ISDN Primary Rate Interface Attend To Dependent alarms Read only The total number of child ISDN Primary Rate Interface objects (and their child objects) that are in Attend To Dependent state.
ISDN Primary Rate Interface Attend To Dependent alarm events Read only / Reset The total number of times that the alarm state for an ISDN Primary Rate Interface object (or one of its child objects) has gone to Attend To Dependent.
Summary child alarm state Read only Summarizes the alarm status for all children of this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - one or more child objects are not operating normally, and need operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which one or more child objects depend is not operating normally.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to activate the ISDN object. Values:
  • Active
    The object has been activated.
  • Inactive
    The object has not been activated or has been deactivated.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the ISDN object. Values:
  • Active
    The object is active.
  • Activating
    Activation is in progress.
  • Deactivating
    Deactivation is in progress.
  • Inactive
    The object is inactive.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
  • Activation Failed
    The object is inactive because an activation attempt has failed.
  • Failed
    The object was active but has failed.
  • Quiescing
    The object is preparing for normal deactivation. It is operating normally but will not accept any new users.
Import - number of objects imported Read only The total number of objects (including child objects) read from the import file so far in the current or most recent import operation.
Import - status Read only The status of the current or most recent import operation, if any. Values:
  • None
  • In progress
  • Succeeded
  • Failed
Import - mode Change Whether the imported information is to replace existing EMS objects or to add new ones. This field provides additional checking on the import operation if required. Values:
  • Do not overwrite
    The imported information is to add new objects. If the file contains objects that already exist in the EMS, the import operation will fail and will not overwrite them.
  • Do not create
    The imported information is to update existing objects. If the file contains objects that do not already exist in the EMS, the import operation will fail and will not create them.
  • Overwrite or create
    No checking. The import operation will create or update objects as required.
Import - file Change The name of the text file (in the EMS User's home directory on the EMS Server) from which configuration information for this object will be imported. The maximum length of the filename is 32 characters.
Import - log correlator Read only If the import status is Failed, this field contains a correlator for the log message that contains details of the failure. Click on the 'go to log' button next to this field to jump to this message in the EMS log viewer window.
Import - correlator metaswitch Read only If the import status is Failed, this field contains the name of the EMS Server or MetaSwitch Network Element that generated the failure log. You may need this information to find the log in the EMS log viewer window.
