Abstract
A method of monitoring DS-0 alarm signals generated by telecommunication network elements, where the network elements include multiple network processing circuits connected to DS-1 facilities. The method comprises the steps of collecting the DS-0 alarm signals; cross-referencing the network elements and the network processing circuits to the DS-1 facilities; correlating the DS-1 facilities to customer circuit identification information; and routing the DS-0 alarm signals to a user location. The method allows a user to view customer outages in real time and also permits proactive observation and analysis of developing problems.
