Methods for inhibiting and allowing alarm handling in a digital cellular system

摘要

Methods are provided for inhibiting and allowing alarm handling and displaying when an alarm is inhibited in a digital cellular system. A method for inhibiting alarm handling in a digital cellular system includes the step of inputting an Inhibit Alarm On/Off (INH-ALM-ONOFF) command in a base station manager (BSM). The range of the system to inhibit alarm handling and the type of alarm to be inhibited is set up. An option of inputted variables corresponding to the steps of setting up the range and the type of the alarm are checked. A state of equipment of program loaded data (PLD) is checked to determine whether one of a component group and components groups of the digital cellular system corresponding to the range is in use. It is then determined whether the alarm has occurred. Counts are reduced by as many times as occurrences of the alarm and clearing the alarm, when the alarm has occurred. It is then determined whether the alarm is performed with an Inhibit Alarm Message (INH-ALM-MSG). A "clear" message is displayed, when the alarm is not performed with the INH-ALM-MSG. Graphic data located at a position where the alarm has occurred is recovered by updating the graphic data. A result to which the INH-ALM-ONOFF command is applied is stored to a file to display the result when a Display Alarm On/Off (DIS-ALM-ONOFF) command is performed.
