AHST Questions 1

[dudecrush]

I've got an Option61 and Two Option 11's. I'm attempting to set up a PM schedule that includes a daily review of the log files daily for any problems. I've found some great old posts on this site (Very good ones from bigindian65) that have been beneficial. I do have some questions:

1) Will the LD 22 logs show things that are in a degraded state, or only when it's failed?


2) Will the LD 22 logs identify the actual device (or software bug), or does that require some detective work?


3) Will the logs show any circuit outages (i.e. - The phone companies lines were down)?


4) What is the best way (or is there a way) to clear the LD 22 log?


5) One day, I would like to have these systems send ME alerts instead of checking them manually. We have OTM 2.1, but it is a pile that I can't seem to get to do what I want. Are there any freeware tools out there for Nortel that check logs, send e-mails or pages, and check trunk volume info? What about an auto-FTP backup?

1) both IF it is causing BUG/SCH/ERR codes

2)Typically the code shows the divice, once you look it up
i.e, I see ERR5142 00000000 00000070
at the > prompt I type:
>err err5142
I get back:
ERR5142 x y
Required Configurations for TRO-CM to work is missing.
Check TRO( Overlay 16) and/or VTRO ( overlay 17) prompts.
Where: X is the customer number.
Y is the route number.
Enable TRO and/or VTRO.
Severity: Minor
70 hex happens to be my Virtual loop 112, so I know where to look.

3)Yes, if tied to PBX, if down DTA030..go to ld 60 and stat, then lcnt, etc....

4)it is FIFO, so pending on how big or small you make its buffer, you can have many days or 1 day, or whatever.
