Parameter

Description
OAM loopback test status Status of the last OAM loopback test that was requested by clicking on the OAM loopback pushbutton. Values:
  • Not available
    MetaSwitch cannot run an OAM loopback test to the IAD, because of excessive error conditions. If this IAD is alarmed, check the alarm log for details of the problem. If there is no alarm log, ensure that the IAD and its associated Media Gateway and Fault Tolerant ATM Port have been activated. If all required resources are active, check the Fault Tolerant ATM Port and any alarmed IADs to see if there is a wider problem (such as power outage or failure of a DSLAM).
  • Not requested
    An OAM loopback test has not yet been requested.
  • In progress
    An OAM loopback test is in progress.
  • Succeeded
    The IAD has successfully responded to an OAM loopback test made by MetaSwitch. This means that the physical connection to the IAD is in place and the IAD is powered up. If the IAD is still alarmed, check the alarm log for details of the problem. If the IAD is not alarmed but a problem persists, there may be incompatibility issues with the IAD being used, or with an individual subscriber's connection or equipment.
  • Failed
    The IAD has not responded to an OAM loopback test made by MetaSwitch. If there is an alarm log, check it for details of the problem. If there is no alarm log, ensure that the IAD and its associated Media Gateway and Fault Tolerant ATM Port have been activated.
