CCITT RECMN*M*3602 72 4862573 0577076 630 Recommendation M.3602 APPLICATION OF MAINTENANCE PRINCIPLES TO ISDN SUBSCRIBER INSTALLATIONS (Melbourne 1988 as Rec. 1.602; revised and renumbered in 1992) Abstract This Recommendation defines physical layer maintenance functions
7、used to maintain ISDN subscriber Keywords - ISDN; - maintenance: - subscriber installation. installations. 1 Scope of application This Recommendation presents the possible elementary functions for the maintenance of the subscriber installation. The functions are to be considered as optional, except
8、when needed to meet specific network interface requirements found in Recommendations 1.430 3 and 1.431 4. These functions can be controlled by the local side, (e.g. from the subscriber premises) and by a remote side (i.e. from a Management Service Provider) (MSP) as described in Recommendation M.360
9、0 i. It is the responsibility of the subscriber installation to ensure that only authorized MSPs are given access to the functions covered by this Recommendation. 2 Network configuration for maintenance activities Figure 1h4.3602 is the basis for the general maintenance principles of the ISDN subscr
10、iber installation. There are several subscriber configurations using primary rate shown in Figure 2M.3602 that can appear behind any of the NTls shown in Figure 2h4.3604 6. The first is the simplest case of separate NT1 and NT2 followed by a primary rate TE. Another case is with the NT1 and NT2 comb
11、ined into one unit. A third case is an NT2 that is a PABX with several basic rate TES behind it. A final case is one in which the NT2 is a multiplexer with several basic rate TES behind it. 3 Automatic supervision 3.1 3.1.1 General Continuous automatic supervision on layer 1 This supervision may be
12、realized by permanent automatic mechanisms located in the pieces of equipment of the subscriber installation (see definition in Figure 1M.3602). These automatic mechanisms are operational during the active period of the subscriber basis access. They are designed to detect malfunctioning of particula
13、r items, e.g. power supply, quality level of transmission, incoming signai, frame alignment. This Recommendation deals only with the maintenance aspects of management.

17、ed from the digital transmission section. 3.2 Automatic supervision on layer 2 and layer 3 of the D-channel protocol This activity covers supervision on layers 2 and 3 of the D-channel protocol. Automatic supervision on layers 2 and 3 may be made by self-acting mechanisms implemented in the subscrib
18、er installation. There are three categories of automatic supervision which may be performed by layer 2 and layer 3 of the D-channel protocol: - service provision incapability detection (e.g. detection of incapability of layer 2 to establish a data link connection); - protocol misoperation detection;
19、 - error monitoring (e.g. layer 2 CRC check procedure can detect the occurrence of an errored frame). These events may be recorded as discussed in Recommendation M.3640 2. 4 Internal tests 4.1 Internal test of the TE1 and TA Some of the TEs/TAs may manage internal tests for all or parts of their fun
20、ctionalities. The internal tests may be activated either automatically by the TE and TAS or by a local command in the TE and TAS or by a remote request. Some of these tests are dependent on the terminal type. Such tests shall not affect the user-network interface, i.e. no test signais shall be trans
21、mitted across the interface when a test is in operation. The terminal equipment may have the ability to abort an internai test sequence, for example, in case of an incoming call attempt. If this test has been requested by an MSP, the subscriber installation should report the discontinuance of the te
22、st to the requesting MSP. The result of an internal test procedure execution should be either passed or failed, and in the latter case an additionai diagnostic information may be given. 4.2 Internal test of the NT2 The subscriber should have facilities which can help to verify that the subscriber in
23、stallation is not affected by a fault. Definitions of these procedures and functions require further study. The functionalities may be similar to the ones presented for the TE and TA in 0 4.1. The following internal tests of the NT2 have been identified: Recommendation M.3602 (10192) 3 CCITT RECMN*M
24、.3602 92 13 Li862591 0579099 34T 4.2.1 Continuity test The objective is to verify that the internal S interfaces of the NT2 can be activated. The mechanism which is implemented in the NT2 could be based on a normal activation of the layer 1 of the interfaces. The principle for such a test is the sam
25、e as the one defined for the local exchange function (see Recommendation M.3603 5, 0 3.3). 4.2.2 S interface check using loopback 3 The loopbacks are shown in 4 7. The results could be used for fault localization, particularly in the case where the NT2 functions are distributed. 4.2.3 Test call to t
26、he terminal equipmentfrom the hT2 An NT2 may address one particular terminal equipment of the installation. Thus, it easily controls a test call. This procedure would allow the NT2 to verify the connection of the TE or TA to the installation and also to check layers 1.2 and 3 operating conditions (e
27、.g. response time supervision). The test call could be initiated by the SIMF at the request of an MSP. The test call could be a normal call made for maintenance purposes. 4.3 Basic rate subscriber installation functions using S- and Q-channels The S- and Q-channels of the T interface (see Recommenda
28、tion 1.430 3) may be used to perform functions supporting failure detection and fault location. These functions can be grouped into four major areas. 4.3.1 Loss ofpower indication The NTl or NT2 may use the S-channel to indicate a loss of power and the TE may use the Q-channel to indicate a loss of
29、power. The use of these indications on interfaces using the activatioddeactivation procedure is for further study. 4.3.2 Self-testfunctions The Q-channel may be used to request an NT1 or NT2 to perform a self-test. The S-channel may be used to indicate that the self-test is being performed and to in
30、dicate whether the test passed or failed. 4.3.3 Loopback control The Q-channel may be used to control loopbacks C in the NTls or loopbacks BI in NT2s. The S-channel may be used by the NTl or NT2 to indicate that the loopback is active. 4.3.4 Detected access transmission system error and loss of rece
31、ive signal The S-channel may be used to indicate that the NT1 cannot properly identify the signal received from the network. It may also be used to indicate that the NT1 has received an indication of a transmission abnormality from the network. 5 Test call from the MSP Under study. 4 Recommendation

There may be test responders for various teleservices and bearer services. The selection of the
33、 service involved with the test call is made using the lower-layer and higher-layer compatibility information elements as defined for the normal cai1 control procedures. 7 Loopbacks 7.1 Locations of Eoopbacks associated with the subscriber installation Loopback locations for fault localization and v
