- The Alarm field indicates an alarm that can be reported at the link level. The following values are allowed:
| Link Alarm | Description |
|---|---|
| Up | Link activated or restored |
| Down | Link deactivated or failed |
| MTP2 not available | MTP2 link has been removed |
| Inhibited locally | Link inhibited locally (management initiated) |
| Inhibited remotely | Link inhibited remotely (remote node initiated action) |
| Uninhibited locally | Link uninhibited locally (Manager ctrl request) |
| Uninhibited remotely | Link uninhibited by remote end |
| Inhibited denied | Link inhibit request from management denied |
| Uninhibited denied | Link uninhibit request from management denied |
| Blocked locally | Link locally blocked (Manager ctrl request) |
| Blocked remotely | Link remotely blocked (unknown cause) |
| Unblocked locally | Link unblocked (Manager ctrl request) |
| Unblocked remotely | Link unblocked by remote end (unknown cause) |
| Congested | Local link congested |
| Congestion stopped | Local link congestion abated |
| Emergency | Link is in emergency state |
| Emergency stopped | Link is no more in emergency state |
| Invalid SLC remote end | A signaling link test message (SLT/SLA) received with an invalid SLC |
| Invalid OPC remote end | A signaling link test message (SLT/SLA) received with an invalid OPC |
