1 General
The fault events gathered from the Tellabs ® 8100 managed access system network by Fault
Management System contain two problem type identifiers:
• General Problem Type (GPT)

• Specific Problem Type (SPT)
The GPT number assigns a fault to one of the general problem classes. The SPT number of a fault
event is unit type specific. It identifies the fault in detail.
A fault event reported by a network unit contains two fault status fields:
• Maintenance status
• Service status
The maintenance status has three categories:
• Prompt Maintenance Alarm (PMA)

• Deferred Maintenance Alarm (DMA)
• Maintenance Event Information (MEI)
The service status of a fault event has two categories:
• Service alarm (S)

• Non-service alarm (non-S)
These alarm categories are defined in ITU-T Rec. M.20.
All CCITT references concern Blue Book, 1988. When applicable, the references to former CCITT
Recommendations have been amended to the ITU-T references. These ITU-T references are listed
with the date of the valid ITU-T Recommendation in Tellabs ® 8100 Managed Access System Node
Technical Description.
This document first lists the GPTs currently defined in the system. After this the possible fault
events of different Tellabs 8100 units are introduced by listing their GPT and SPT values followed
by the maintenance and service status and the SPT descriptive texts displayed in the alarm records
as well as their short explanations.
