nDeactivation (%)
— Use: This field specifies the percentage of setup events for a path to 
come out of the impaired state. That is, if the percentage of setup 
events for an impaired path meets or drops below this administered 
value, then it is no longer impaired. An alarm is retired when there 
are no more impaired paths originating from that ATM-IMP.

Upgrades
nUpgrades of R6r and R7r ATM PNC equipped systems to R8r will use the 
capabilities of conserving ATM Bandwidth without additional feature 
administration.
nUpgrades of critically duplicated r systems to R8r are call preserving.
Implementation Notes
NOTE:
Not all calls are denied on impaired paths since there are some calls which 
can be satisfied by SVCs in the cache....

Alarm Deactivation
nThe alarm condition for a given ATM-IMP is resolved whenever the number 
of active SETUP events drops to or below the Deactivation value on the 
ATM-RELATED SYSTEM PARAMETERS form for all paths originating at 
that ATM-IMP (i.e., all paths become unimpaired). 
— If the activation threshold is 5%, then the clearing threshold can be 
0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, or 4%.

nIf they are not denied, current operation for delayed SVCs means that it is 
possible that the called party hears ringing, goes off-hook and initially 
cannot hear the calling party or cannot be heard by the calling party, or 
both cannot hear each other until one-way SVCs in both directions are 
established. 
nThe drop on failure operation is maintained for failed calls.

Interactions between Call Processing Software and Maintenance 
Software
nCall processing software and maintenance software work together to 
provide alarm activation and deactivation. 
nCall processing software will report event information to maintenance 
software that can result in maintenance software activating or deactivating 
alarms.
