RE: [EFM] RE: OAM functionals




Roy,

Does facility alarm include:

1. Chassis power supply status(in this case, CPE)
2. Fan present/status

Mechanical thing such as verifying if a box
is fully closed is hard to implement.  Does 
redundancy fault categorized as facility alarm
also?  Thanks.

-faye

Andrew,

These were not rhetorical questions.  The issue of supporting far end 
active systems, and possibly active intermediate systems at "dark" sites

has been a handicap for those service providers that are currently using

GbE for service delivery.

One of the presenters at the January 2001 meeting, John Moore, 
http://www.ieee802.org/3/efm/public/jan01/moore_1_01_2001.pdf, made the 
comment that he had to do a truck roll just to verify that the box cover

was closed on the active demark system on the side of the customer's 
house.  This is the sort of thing that "Facilities Alarms" are for.
There 
are a lot of other things that simple "alarms" are needed for.  The
group 
as a whole needs to learn more about these types of issues that exist in
a 
service provider infrastructure, particularly at the very edge.

Thank you,
Roy Bynum
