Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse signalling and digital path alarms and clear network faults
  • 1.1 Obtain work details and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  • 1.2 Activate alarm management system, produce a trouble report and verify common channel signalling (CCS) and data faults
  • 1.3 Investigate cause of alarm, analyse results, determine required repair action and allocate resources according to organisational requirements
  • 1.4 Monitor repair and restoration procedures and confirm commitment to specified timelines
  • 1.5 Initiate escalation procedures according to enterprise procedures
  • 1.6 Reset alarms on completion of repair and monitor subsequent alarms to confirm no re-occurrence of the problem
2. Monitor integrity of data received on equipment ports
  • 2.1 Activate alarm screens and monitor port times on a regular basis to confirm procedures are running
  • 2.2 Clear port blockage and problems on completion of planned works and log in required database
  • 2.3 Monitor repair and restoration procedures to confirm commitment to specified timelines and initiate escalation procedures as required and according to enterprise procedures
3. Monitor and acceptance test repair
  • 3.1 Verify network stabilisation throughout repair and monitor repair action and confirm minimal impact on the network
  • 3.2 Conduct acceptance testing according to prescribed operating procedures
  • 3.3 Monitor network stability on completion and refer problems to required area for action
  • 3.4 Block alarms for out-of-service circuits
4. Coordinate CCS relationships
  • 4.1 Log requests for relationship change and follow up problems with required support staff
