Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

This chapter gives a description, severity, and troubleshooting procedure for each commonly encountered Cisco ONS 15454 SDH alarm and condition. Tables 2-1 through 2-5 provide lists of ONS 15454 SDH alarms organized by severity. Table 2-6 provides a list of alarms organized alphabetically. Table 2-7 gives definitions of all ONS 15454 SDH alarm logical objects, which are the basis of the alarm profile list in Table 2-8. For a comprehensive list of all conditions, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 Reference Guide. For instructions on using Transaction Language One (TL1) commands, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 Command Guide.

An alarm's troubleshooting procedure applies to both the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and TL1 version of that alarm. If the troubleshooting procedure does not clear the alarm log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

More information about alarm profile information modification and downloads is located in the "Manage Alarms" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

2.1  Alarm Index by Default Severity

The following tables group alarms and conditions by their default severities in the ONS 15454 SDH system. These severities are reported in the CTC Alarms window severity (SEV) column.

---

Note The CTC default alarm profile contains some alarms or conditions that are not currently implemented but are reserved for future use.

---

The following tables group alarms and conditions by the severity displayed in the CTC Alarms window in the severity (SEV) column. All severities listed in this manual are the default profile settings. Alarm severities can be altered from default settings for individual alarms or groups of alarms by creating a nondefault alarm profile and applying it on a port, card, or shelf basis. All settings (default or user-defined) that are Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) are demoted to Minor (MN) in situations that do not affect service.

---

Note The CTC default alarm profile in some cases contains two severities for one alarm (for example, MJ/MN). The ONS 15454 SDH platform default severity comes first (in this example, MJ), but the alarm can be demoted to the second severity in the presence of a higher-ranking alarm.

2.3  Alarm Logical Objects

The CTC alarm profile list organizes all alarms and conditions according to the logical objects they are raised against. These logical objects represent physical objects such as cards, logical objects such as circuits, or transport and signal monitoring entities such as the SDH or ITU-T G.709 optical overhead bits. One alarm can appear in multiple entries. It can be raised against multiple objects. For example, the loss of signal (LOS) alarm can be raised against the optical signal (STM-N) or the optical transport layer overhead (OTN) as well as other objects. Therefore, both STM-N: LOS and OTN: LOS appear in the list (as well as the other objects).

Alarm profile list objects are defined in Table 2-7.

---

Note Alarm logical object names can appear as abbreviated versions of standard terms used in the system and the documentation. For example, the "STMN" logical object refers to the STM-N signal. Logical object names or industry-standard terms are used within the entries as appropriate.

2.4  Alarm List by Logical Object Type

Table 2-8 lists all ONS 15454 SDH Release 6.0 alarms and logical objects as they are given in the system alarm profile. The list entries are organized by logical object name and then by alarm or condition name. Where appropriate, the alarm entries also contain troubleshooting procedures.

---

Note In a mixed network containing different types of nodes (such as ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15454 SDH, and ONS 15600), the initially displayed alarm list in the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Profile Editor tab lists all conditions that are applicable to all nodes in the network. However, when you load the default severity profile from a node, only applicable alarms will display severity levels. Nonapplicable alarms can display "use default" or "unset."

---

---

Note In some cases this list does not follow alphabetical order, but it does reflect the order shown in CTC.

2.5  Trouble Notifications

The ONS 15454 SDH system reports trouble by utilizing standard alarm and condition characteristics, and standard severities following the rules in ITU-T x.733, and graphical user interface (GUI) state indicators. These notifications are described in the following paragraphs.

The ONS 15454 SDH uses standard categories to characterize levels of trouble. The system reports trouble notifications as alarms and status or descriptive notifications (if configured to do so) as conditions in the CTC Alarms window. Alarms typically signify a problem that the user needs to address, such as a loss of signal. Conditions do not necessarily require troubleshooting.

2.5.1  Alarm Characteristics

The ONS 15454 SDH uses standard alarm entities to identify what is causing trouble. All alarms stem from hardware, software, environment, or operator-originated problems whether or not they affect service. Current alarms for the network, CTC session, node, or card are listed in the Alarms tab. (In addition, cleared alarms are also found in the History tab.)

2.5.2  Condition Characteristics

Conditions include any problem detected on an ONS 15454 SDH shelf. They could include standing or transient notifications. A snapshot of all current raised, standing conditions on the network, node, or card can be retrieved in the CTC Conditions window or using TL1's set of RTRV-COND commands. (In addition, some but not all cleared conditions are also found in the History tab.)

---

Note ONS 15454 SDH condition reporting is not ITU-compliant.

---

2.5.3  Severities

The ONS 15454 SDH uses ITU-devised standard severities for alarms and conditions: Critical (CR), Major (MJ), Minor (MN), Not Alarmed (NA), and Not Reported (NR). These are described below:

•A Critical (CR) alarm generally indicates severe, Service-Affecting (SA) trouble that needs immediate correction, such as an LOS on a trunk port or STM signal.

•A Major (MJ) alarm is a serious alarm, but the trouble has less impact on the network. For example, an automatic protection switching (APS) channel mismatch (APSCNMIS) alarm occurs when working and protect channels have been inadvertently switched so that a working channel is expected at the receive end, but a protect channel is received instead.

•Minor (MN) alarms generally are those that do not affect service. For example, the APS byte failure (APSB) alarm indicates that line terminating equipment (LTE) detects a byte failure on the signal that could prevent traffic from properly executing a traffic switch.

•Not Alarmed (NA) conditions are information indicators, such as for a free-running synchronization (FRNGSYNC) state or a forced-switch to primary timing (FRCSWTOPRI) event. They could or could not require troubleshooting, as indicated in the entries.

•Not Reported (NR) conditions occur as a secondary result of another event. For example, the alarm indication signal (MS-AIS), with severity NR, is inserted by a downstream node when an LOS (CR or MJ) alarm occurs upstream. These conditions do not in themselves require troubleshooting, but are to be expected in the presence of primary alarms.

Severities can be customized for an entire network or for single nodes, from the network level down to the port level by changing or downloading customized alarm profiles. These custom severities are subject to the standard severity-demoting rules given in Telcordia GR-474-CORE and shown in the Alarm Hierarchy section. Procedures for customizing alarm severities are located in the "Manage Alarms" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

2.5.4  Alarm Hierarchy

All alarm, condition, and unreported event severities listed in this manual are default profile settings. However in situations when traffic is not lost, such as when the alarm occurs on protected ports or circuits, alarms having Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) default severities can be demoted to lower severities such as Minor (MN) or Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) as defined in Telcordia GR-474-CORE.

A path alarm can be demoted if a higher-ranking alarm is raised for the same object. For example, If an high-order path trace identifier mismatch (HP-TIM) is raised on a circuit path and then an administrative unit (AU) loss of pointer (LOP) is raised on it, the AU-LOP alarm stands and the HP-TIM closes. The path alarm hierarchy used in the ONS 15454 SDH system is shown in Table 2-9.

Table 2-9 Path Alarm Hierarchy

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	AU-AIS
—	AU-LOP
—	HP-UNEQ
Lowest	HP-TIM

Facility (port) alarms also follow a hierarchy, which means that lower-ranking alarms are closed by higher-ranking alarms. The facility alarm hierarchy used in the ONS 15454 SDH system is shown in Table 2-10.

Table 2-10 Facility Alarm Hierarchy

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	LOS
—	LOF
—	MS-AIS
—	MS-EXC1
—	MS-DEG1
—	MS-RDI1
—	RS-TIM
—	AU-AIS
—	AU-LOP
—	HP-EXC1
—	HP-DEG1
—	HP-UNEQ
—	HP-TIM
Lowest	HP-PLM1

1 This alarm is not currently used in the platform.

Near-end failures and far-end failures follow different hierarchies. Near-end failures stand according to whether they are for the entire signal (LOS, LOF), facility (MS-AIS), path (AU-AIS, etc.) or VT (TU-AIS, etc.). The full hierarchy for near-end failures is shown in Table 2-11. This table is taken from Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

Table 2-11 Near-End Alarm Hierarchy

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	LOS
—	LOF
—	MS-AIS
—	AU-AIS1
—	AU-LOP2
—	HP-UNEQ
—	HP-TIM
—	HP-PLM
—	TU-AIS1
—	TU-LOP2
—	LP-UNEQ3
—	LP-PLM3
Lowest	DS-N AIS (if reported for outgoing DS-N signals)

1 Although it is not defined as a defect or failure, all-ones VT pointer relay is also higher priority than AU-LOP. Similarly, all-ones VC pointer relay is higher priority than TU-LOP. 2 AU-LOP is also higher priority than the far-end failure MS-RFI, which does not affect the detection of any near-end failures. Similarly, TU-LOP is higher priority than LP-RF. 3 This alarm is not used in this platform in this release.

The far-end failure alarm hierarchy is shown in Table 2-12, as given in Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

Table 2-12 Far-End Alarm Hierarchy

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	MS-RDI1
—	HP-RFI
Lowest	LP-RFI1

1 This condition is not used in this platform in this release.

2.5.5  Service Effect

The ITU also provides service effect standards. Service-Affecting (SA) alarms—those that interrupt service—could be Critical (CR), Major (MJ), or Minor (MN) severity alarms. Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) alarms always have a Minor (MN) default severity.

2.5.6  States

The Alarms and History tab State (ST) column indicate the disposition of the alarm or condition as follows:

•A raised (R) event is one that is active.

•A cleared (C) event is one that is no longer active.

•A transient (T) event is one that is automatically raised and cleared in CTC during system changes such as user login, logout, loss of connection to node view, etc. Transient events do not require user action. These are listed in the "Transient Conditions" chapter.

2.6  Safety Summary

This section covers safety considerations designed to ensure safe operation of the ONS 15454 SDH. Do not perform any procedures in this chapter unless you understand all safety precautions, practices, and warnings for the system equipment. Some troubleshooting procedures require installation or removal of cards; in these instances pay close attention to the following caution.

---

Caution Hazardous voltage or energy could be present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when removing or installing cards.

---

Some troubleshooting procedures require installation or removal of STM-64 cards. In these instances, pay close attention to the following warnings.

---

Warning On the OC192 LR/STM64 LH 1550 card, the laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0). Statement 293

---

---

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

---

---

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified could result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

---

---

Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

---

---

Warning Class 1M laser radiation when open. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1053

---

---

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206

---

---

Warning The power supply circuitry for the equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment. Statement 207

---

2.7  Alarm Procedures

This section list alarms alphabetically and includes some conditions commonly encountered when troubleshooting alarms. The severity, description, and troubleshooting procedure accompany each alarm and condition.

---

Note When you check the status of alarms for cards, ensure that the alarm filter icon in the lower right corner of the GUI is not indented. If it is, click it to turn it off. When you're done checking for alarms, click the alarm filter icon again to turn filtering back on. For more information about alarm filtering, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

---

---

Note When checking alarms, ensure that alarm suppression is not enabled on the card or port. For more information about alarm suppression, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

---

2.7.1  AIS

Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, DS3, E1, E3, E4, FUDC, MSUDC

DWDM Logical Object: TRUNK

The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) condition indicates that this node is detecting an alarm indication signal in the incoming signal SDH overhead.

Generally, any AIS is a special SDH signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.

---

Note DS3i-N-12 card DS3 facility and terminal loopbacks do not transmit DS3 AIS in the direction away from the loopback. Instead of DS3 AIS, a continuance of the signal transmitted to the loopback is provided.

---

Clear the AIS Condition

---

Step 1 Determine whether there are alarms on the upstream nodes and equipment, especially the "LOS (STM1E, STMN)" alarm on page 2-146, or if there are locked (locked,maintenance or locked,disabled) ports.

Step 2 Clear the upstream alarms using the applicable procedures in this chapter.

Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide. This guide discusses all DWDM alarms.

2.7.8  APSB

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

The APS Channel Byte Failure alarm occurs when LTE detects protection switching byte failure or an invalid switching code in the incoming APS signal. Some older SDH nodes not manufactured by Cisco send invalid APS codes if they are configured in a 1+1 protection group with newer SDH nodes, such as the ONS 15454 SDH. These invalid codes cause an APSB alarm on an ONS 15454 SDH node.

Clear the APSB Alarm

---

Step 1 Use an optical test set to examine the incoming SDH overhead to confirm inconsistent or invalid K bytes. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer. If corrupted K bytes are confirmed and the upstream equipment is functioning properly, the upstream equipment might not interoperate effectively with the ONS 15454 SDH.

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear and the overhead shows inconsistent or invalid K bytes, you could need to replace the upstream cards for protection switching to operate properly. Complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure.

---

Caution For the ONS 15454 SDH, removing a card that currently carries traffic on one or more ports can cause a traffic hit. To avoid this, perform an external switch if a switch has not already occurred. See the "Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing" section for commonly used alarm troubleshooting procedures.

---

---

Note When you replace a card with the identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database.

---

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, log into log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

2.7.9  APSCDFLTK

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

The APS Default K Byte Received alarm occurs when a multiplex section-shared protection ring (MS-SPRing) is not properly configured—for example, when a four-node MS-SPRing has one node configured as a subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) ring. When this misconfiguration occurs, a node in an SNCP ring or 1+1 configuration does not send the two valid K1/K2 APS bytes anticipated by a system configured for MS-SPRing. One of the bytes sent is considered invalid by the MS-SPRing configuration. The K1/K2 byte is monitored by receiving equipment for link-recovery information.

Troubleshooting for APSCDFLTK is often similar to troubleshooting for the "MSSP-OOSYNC" alarm on page 2-174.

Clear the APSCDFLTK Alarm

---

Step 1 Complete the "Identify an MS-SPRing Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure to verify that each node has a unique node ID number.

Step 2 Repeat Step 1 for all nodes in the ring.

Step 3 If two nodes have the same node ID number, complete the "Change an MS-SPRing Node ID Number" procedure to change one node ID number so that each node ID is unique.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, verify correct configuration of east port and west port optical fibers. (See the "EXCCOL" alarm on page 2-84.) West port fibers must connect to east port fibers and east port fibers must connect to west port fibers. The "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide provides a procedure for fibering MS-SPRings.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear and if the network is a four-fiber MS-SPRing, ensure that each protect fiber is connected to another protect fiber and each working fiber is connected to another working fiber. The software does not report any alarm if a working fiber is incorrectly attached to a protect fiber.

Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Verify Node Visibility for Other Nodes" procedure.

Step 7 If nodes are not visible, complete the "Verify or Create Node RS-DCC Terminations" procedure to ensure that regenerator section data communications channel (RS-DCC) terminations exist on each node.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

2.7.10  APSC-IMP

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

An Improper SDH APS Code alarm indicates bad or invalid K bytes. The APSC-IMP alarm occurs on STM-N cards in a MS-SPRing configuration and can occur during MS-SPRing configuration.

The receiving equipment monitors K bytes or K1 and K2 APS bytes for an indication to switch from the working card to the protect card or from the protect card to the working one. K1/K2 bytes also contain bits that tell the receiving equipment whether the K byte is valid. The alarm clears when the node receives valid K bytes.

---

Note This alarm can occur on a VC_LO_PATH_TUNNEL tunnel when it does not have lower order circuits provisioned on it. It can also occur when the exercise command or a lockout is applied to a span. An externally switched span does not raise this alarm because the traffic is preempted.

---

---

Note The APSC-IMP alarm may be raised on a BLSR or MS-SPRing when a drop connection is part of a cross-connect loopback.

---

---

Note The APSC-IMP alarm may be momentarily raised on BLSR spans during PCA circuit creation or deletion across multiple nodes using CTC.

---

---

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

---

---

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified could result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

---

Clear the APSC-IMP Alarm

---

Step 1 Use an optical test set to determine the validity of the K byte signal by examining the received signal. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the on the middle-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.

---

If the K byte is invalid, the problem lies with upstream equipment and not with the reporting ONS 15454 SDH. Troubleshoot the upstream equipment using the procedures in this chapter, as applicable. If the upstream nodes are not ONS 15454 SDHs, consult the appropriate user documentation.

Step 2 If the K byte is valid, verify that each node has a ring name that matches the other node ring names. Complete the "Identify an MS-SPRing Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure.

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 for all nodes in the ring.

Step 4 If a node has a ring name that does not match the other nodes, make that node's ring name identical to the other nodes. Complete the "Change an MS-SPRing Ring Name" procedure.

Step 5 If the condition does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

---

2.7.11  APSCINCON

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

An Inconsistent APS Code alarm indicates that the APS code contained in the SDH overhead is inconsistent. The SDH overhead contains K1/K2 APS bytes that notify receiving equipment, such as the ONS 15454 SDH, to switch the SDH signal from a working to a protect path when necessary. An inconsistent APS code occurs when three consecutive frames contain nonidentical APS bytes, which in turn give the receiving equipment conflicting commands about switching.

Clear the APSCINCON Alarm on an STM-N Card in an MS-SPRing

---

Step 1 Look for other alarms, especially the "LOS (STM1E, STMN)" alarm on page 2-146, the "LOF (DS1, DS3, E1, E4, STM1E, STMN)" alarm on page 2-137, or the "APSB" alarm on page 2-32. Clearing these alarms clears the APSCINCON alarm.

Step 2 If an APSINCON alarm occurs with no other alarms, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

---

2.7.12  APSCM

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA) for STMN

SDH Logical Object: STMN

An Improper SDH APS Code alarm indicates three consecutive, identical frames containing:

•Unused code in bits 6 through 8 of byte K2.

•Codes that are irrelevant to the specific protection switching operation being requested.

•Requests that are irrelevant to the ring state of the ring (such as a span protection switch request in a two-fiber ring NE).

•ET code in K2 bits 6 through 8 received on the incoming span, but not sourced from the outgoing span.

---

Warning On the OC192 LR/STM64 LH 1550 card, the laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0). Statement 293

---

---

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

---

---

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified could result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

---

Clear the APSCM Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the working-card channel fibers are physically connected directly to the adjoining node's working-card channel fibers.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the middle-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, verify that the protection-card channel fibers are physically connected directly to the adjoining node's protection-card channel fibers.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

---

2.7.13  APSCNMIS

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

The APS Node ID Mismatch alarm occurs when the source node ID contained in the incoming APS channel K2 byte is not present in the ring map. APSCNMIS could occur and clear when an MS-SPRing is being provisioned. If so, the user can disregard the temporary occurrence. If the APSCNMIS occurs and stays, the alarm clears when a K byte with a valid source node ID is received.

Clear the APSCNMIS Alarm

---

Step 1 Complete the "Identify an MS-SPRing Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure for each node to verify that each node has a unique node ID number.

Step 2 If the Node ID column contains any two nodes with the same node ID listed, record the repeated node ID.

Step 3 Click Close in the Ring Map dialog box.

Step 4 If two nodes have the same node ID number, complete the "Change an MS-SPRing Node ID Number" procedure to change one node ID number so that each node ID is unique.

---

Note If the node names shown in the network view do not correlate with the node IDs, log into each node and click the Provisioning > MS-SPRing tabs. The MS-SPRing window shows the node ID of the login node.

---

---

Note Applying and removing a lockout on a span causes the ONS node to generate a new K byte. The APSCNMIS alarm clears when the node receives a K byte containing the correct node ID.

---

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, use the "Initiate a Lockout on an MS-SPRing Protect Span" procedure to lock out the span.

Step 6 Complete the "Clear an MS-SPRing External Switching Command" procedure to clear the lockout.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.14  APSIMP

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

The APS Invalid Mode condition occurs if a 1+1 protection group is not properly configured at both nodes to send or receive the correct APS byte. A node that is either configured for no protection or is configured for SNCP or MS-SPRing protection does not send the right K2 APS byte anticipated by a system configured for 1+1 protection. The 1+1 protect port monitors the incoming K2 APS byte and raises this alarm if it does not receive the byte.

The condition is superseded by an APSCM alarm, but not by an AIS condition. It clears when the port receives a valid code for 10 ms.

Clear the APSIMP Condition

---

Step 1 Check the configuration of the other node in the 1+1 protection group. If the far end is not configured for 1+1 protection, create the group. For procedures, refer to the "Turn Up Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

Step 2 If the other end of the group is properly configured or the alarm does not clear after you have provisioned the group correctly, verify that the working ports and protect ports are cabled correctly.

Step 3 Ensure that both protect ports are configured for SDH.

Step 4 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

2.7.15  APS-INV-PRIM

The APS-INV-PRIM alarm is not used in this platform in this release. It is reserved for future development.

2.7.16  APSMM

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: STMN

An APS Mode Mismatch failure alarm occurs on STM-N cards when there is a mismatch of the protection switching schemes at the two ends of the span, such as being bidirectional at one end and unidirectional at the other. Each end of a span must be provisioned the same way: bidirectional and bidirectional, or unidirectional and unidirectional. APSMM can also occur if another vendor's equipment is provisioned as 1:N and the ONS 15454 SDH is provisioned as 1+1.

If one end is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching and the other is provisioned for SNCP protection switching, an APSMM alarm occurs in the ONS 15454 SDH that is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching.

Clear the APSMM Alarm

---

Step 1 For the reporting ONS 15454 SDH, display node view and verify the protection scheme provisioning by completing the following steps:

a. Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

b. Click the 1+1 protection group configured for the STM-N cards.

The chosen protection group is the protection group optically connected (with data communications channel [DCC] connectivity) to the far end.

c. Click Edit.

d. Record whether the Bidirectional Switching check box is checked.

Step 2 Click OK in the Edit Protection Group dialog box.

Step 3 Log into the far-end node and verify that the STM-N 1+1 protection group is provisioned.

Step 4 Verify that the Bidirectional Switching check box matches the checked or unchecked condition of the box recorded in Step 1. If not, change it to match.

Step 5 Click Apply.

2.7.22  AU-AIS

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Objects: VCMON-HP, VCTRM-HP

An AU AIS condition applies to the administration unit, which consists of the virtual container (VC) capacity and pointer bytes (H1, H2, and H3) in the SDH frame.

Generally, any AIS is a special SDH signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.

Clear the AU-AIS Condition

---

Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, complete the "Clear the APSB Alarm" procedure.

2.7.43  CARLOSS (E100T, E1000F)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SDH Logical Objects: E100T, E1000F

A Carrier Loss alarm on the LAN E-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (STM1E, STMN)" alarm on page 2-146. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal. The most common causes of the CARLOSS alarm are a disconnected cable, an Ethernet Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) fiber connected to an optical card rather than an Ethernet device, or an improperly installed Ethernet card. Ethernet card ports must be enabled for CARLOSS to occur. CARLOSS is declared after no signal is received for approximately 2.5 seconds.

CARLOSS also occurs after the restoration of a node database. In this instance, the alarm clears approximately 30 seconds after the node reestablishes Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Reestablishment applies to the E-Series Ethernet cards but not to the G-Series card. The G-Series card does not use STP and is not affected by STP reestablishment.

---

Note For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

---

Clear the CARLOSS (E100T, E1000F) Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the middle-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 2 If the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the port, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an STM-N card. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

Step 3 If no misconnection to an STM-N card exists, verify that the transmitting device is operational. If not, troubleshoot the device.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, use an Ethernet test set to determine whether a valid signal is coming into the Ethernet port. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

Step 5 If a valid Ethernet signal is not present and the transmitting device is operational, replace the fiber cable connecting the transmitting device to the Ethernet port. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

Step 6 If a valid Ethernet signal is present, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

---

Caution Removing a card that currently carries traffic on one or more ports can cause a traffic hit. To avoid this, perform an external switch if a switch has not already occurred. See the "Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing" section for commonly used traffic-switching procedures.

---

---

Note When you replace a card with the identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database.

---

Step 8 If a CARLOSS alarm repeatedly appears and clears, use the following steps to examine the layout of your network to determine whether the Ethernet circuit is part of an Ethernet manual cross-connect.

An Ethernet manual cross-connect is used when another vendor's equipment sits between ONS 15454 SDHs, and the open systems interconnect/target identifier address resolution protocol (OSI/TARP)-based equipment does not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 SDH TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent a lack of continuous DCC, the Ethernet circuit is manually cross connected to a channel riding through the non-ONS network.

If the reporting Ethernet circuit is part of an Ethernet manual cross-connect, then the reappearing alarm could be a result of mismatched circuit sizes in the set up of the manual cross-connect. Determine this by completing the following steps. If the Ethernet circuit is not part of a manual cross-connect, the following steps do not apply.

a. Right-click anywhere in the row of the CARLOSS alarm.

b. Click Select Affected Circuits in the shortcut menu that appears.

c. Record the information in the type and size columns of the highlighted circuit.

d. From the examination of the layout of your network, determine which ONS 15454 SDH node and card are hosting the Ethernet circuit at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect and complete the following substeps:

•Log into the ONS 15454 SDH at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Double-click the Ethernet card that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Click the Circuits tab.

•Record the information in the type and size columns of the circuit that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect. The Ethernet manual cross-connect circuit connects the Ethernet card to an STM-N card at the same node.

e. Use the information you recorded to determine whether the two Ethernet circuits on each side of the Ethernet manual cross-connect have the same circuit size.

If one of the circuit sizes is incorrect, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure and reconfigure the circuit with the correct circuit size. For procedures, refer to the "Create Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.44  CARLOSS (EQPT)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SDH Logical Object: EQPT

The Carrier Loss Equipment alarm occurs when the ONS 15454 SDH and the workstation hosting CTC do not have a TCP/IP connection. CARLOSS is a problem involving the LAN or data circuit used by the RJ-45 connector on the TCC2/TCC2P card or the LAN backplane pin connection on the back of the ONS 15454 SDH. The alarm does not involve an Ethernet circuit connected to a port on an Ethernet (traffic) card. The problem is in the connection (usually a LAN problem) and not the CTC or the ONS 15454 SDH.

On TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, and MXP_2.5G_10G cards, CARLOSS is also raised against trunk ports when ITU-T G.709 monitoring is turned off.

A TXP_MR_2.5G card can raise a CARLOSS alarm when the payload is incorrectly configured for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gigabit Ethernet payload data types.

---

Note For more information about provisioning MXP or TXP PPMs, refer to the "Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Installation and Operations Guide. For more information about the cards themselves, refer to the "Card Reference" chapter. For more information about MRC-12 and OC192-XFP/STM64-XFP cards, refer to the "Change Card Settings" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide. For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

---

Clear the CARLOSS (EQPT) Alarm

---

Step 1 If the reporting card is an MXP, TXP, MRC-12, or OC192-XVP/STM64-XFP card in an ONS 15454 SDH node, verify the data rate configured on the PPM by completing the following steps:

a. Double-click the reporting card.

b. Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

c. View the Pluggable Port Modules area port listing in the Actual Equipment Type column for the card and compare this with the Selected PPM area Rate column contents.

d. If the rate does not match the actual equipment, you must delete and recreate the selected PPM. Select the PPM, click Delete, then click Create and choose the correct rate for the port rate.

Step 2 If the reporting card is an STM-N card, verify connectivity by pinging the ONS 15454 SDH that is reporting the alarm by completing the procedure in the "1.9.8  Verify PC Connection to the ONS 15454 SDH (ping)" section on page 1-109.

Step 3 If the ping is successful, it demonstrates that an active TCP/IP connection exists. Restart CTC by completing the following steps:

a. Exit from CTC.

b. Reopen the browser.

c. Log into CTC.

Step 4 Using optical test equipment, verify that proper receive levels are achieved. (For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.)

Step 5 Verify that the optical LAN cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide

Step 6 If the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the port, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an STM-N card. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

Step 7 If you are unable to establish connectivity, replace the fiber cable with a new known-good cable. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for procedures.

Step 8 If you are unable to establish connectivity, perform standard network or LAN diagnostics. For example, trace the IP route, verify cable continuity, and troubleshoot any routers between the node and CTC. To verify cable continuity, follow site practices.

Step 9 If you are unable to establish connectivity, perform standard network/LAN diagnostics. For example, trace the IP route, verify cable continuity, and troubleshoot any routers between the node. If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.45  CARLOSS (FC)

For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide. This guide discusses all DWDM alarms.

2.7.46  CARLOSS (G1000)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SDH Logical Object: G1000

A Carrier Loss alarm on the LAN G-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (STM1E, STMN)" alarm on page 2-146. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal.

CARLOSS on the G-Series card can be caused by one of two situations:

•The G-Series port reporting the alarm is not receiving a valid signal from the attached Ethernet device. The CARLOSS can be caused by an improperly connected Ethernet cable or a problem with the signal between the Ethernet device and the G-Series port.

•If a problem exists in the end-to-end path (including possibly the far-end G-Series card), the problem causes the reporting G-Series to turn off the Gigabit Ethernet transmitter. Turning off the transmitter typically causes the attached device to turn off its link laser, which results in a CARLOSS on the reporting G-Series card. The root cause is the problem in the end-to-end path. When the root cause is cleared, the far-end G-Series port turns the transmitter laser back on and clears the CARLOSS on the reporting card. If a turned-off transmitter causes the CARLOSS alarm, it is normally accompanied by a "TPTFAIL (G1000)" alarm on page 2-217 or STM-N alarms or conditions on the end-to-end path.

Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for a description of the G-Series card's end-to-end Ethernet link integrity capability. Also see the "TRMT" alarm on page 2-219 for more information about alarms that occur when a point-to-point circuit exists between two G-Series cards.

Ethernet card ports must be unlocked for CARLOSS to occur. CARLOSS is declared after no signal is received for approximately 2.5 seconds.

---

Note For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

---

Clear the CARLOSS (G1000) Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the middle-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 2 If the fiber cable is correctly connected and attached, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an STM-N card.

Step 3 If no misconnection to the STM-N card exists, verify that the attached transmitting Ethernet device is operational. If not, troubleshoot the device.

Step 4 Verify that optical receive levels are within the normal range. These are listed in the "1.12.3  Optical Card Transmit and Receive Levels" section on page 1-135.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, use an Ethernet test set to determine whether a valid signal is coming into the Ethernet port. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

Step 6 If a valid Ethernet signal is not present and the transmitting device is operational, replace the fiber cable connecting the transmitting device to the Ethernet port. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for procedures.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, and link autonegotiation is enabled on the G-Series port but the autonegotiation process fails, the card turns off its transmitter laser and reports a CARLOSS alarm. If link autonegotiation has been enabled for the port, determine whether there are conditions that could cause autonegotiation to fail by completing the following steps:

a. Confirm that the attached Ethernet device has autonegotiation enabled and is configured for compatibility with the asymmetric flow control on the card.

b. Confirm that the attached Ethernet device configuration allows reception of flow control frames.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, disable and reenable the Ethernet port to attempt to remove the CARLOSS condition. (The autonegotiation process restarts.)

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear and the "TPTFAIL (G1000)" alarm on page 2-217 is also reported, complete the "Clear the TPTFAIL (G1000) Alarm" procedure. If the TPTFAIL alarm is not raised, continue to the next step.

---

Note When the CARLOSS and the TPTFAIL alarms are reported, the condition could be caused by the G-Series card's end-to-end link integrity feature taking action on a remote failure indicated by the TPTFAIL alarm.

---

Step 10 If the TPTFAIL alarm was not raised, determine whether a terminal (inward) loopback has been provisioned on the port by completing the following steps:

a. In node view, click the card to go to card view.

b. Click the Maintenance > Loopback tabs.

c. If the port Admin State is listed as Locked, maintenance, a loopback could be provisioned. Go to Step 11.

Step 11 If a loopback was provisioned, complete the "Clear a Non-STM Card Facility or Terminal Loopback Circuit" procedure.

On the G-Series, provisioning a terminal (inward) loopback causes the transmit laser to turn off. If an attached Ethernet device detects the loopback as a loss of carrier, the attached Ethernet device shuts off the transmit laser to the G-Series card. Terminating the transmit laser could raise the CARLOSS alarm because the looped-back G-Series port detects the termination.

If the card does not have a loopback condition, continue to Step 12.

Step 12 If a CARLOSS alarm repeatedly appears and clears, the reappearing alarm could be a result of mismatched circuit sizes in the setup of the manual cross-connect. Perform the following steps if the Ethernet circuit is part of a manual cross-connect by completing the following steps:

---

Note An ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet manual cross-connect is used when another vendor's equipment sits between ONS nodes, and the OSI/TARP-based equipment does not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 SDH TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent a lack of continuous DCC, the Ethernet circuit is manually cross connected to a channel riding through the non-ONS network.

---

a. Right-click anywhere in the row of the CARLOSS alarm.

b. Right-click or left-click Select Affected Circuits in the shortcut menu that appears.

c. Record the information in the type and size columns of the highlighted circuit.

d. Examine the layout of your network and determine which ONS 15454 SDH and card are hosting the Ethernet circuit at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect by completing the following substeps:

•Log into the node at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Double-click the Ethernet card that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Click the Circuits tab.

•Record the information in the type and size columns of the circuit that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect. The cross-connect circuit connects the Ethernet card to an STM-N card at the same node.

e. Determine whether the two Ethernet circuits on each side of the Ethernet manual cross-connect have the same circuit size from the circuit size information you recorded.

f. If one of the circuit sizes is incorrect, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure and reconfigure the circuit with the correct circuit size. Refer to the "Create Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for detailed procedures to create circuits.

Step 13 If a valid Ethernet signal is present, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure.

Step 14 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

---

Caution Removing a card that currently carries traffic on one or more ports can cause a traffic hit. To avoid this, perform an external switch if a switch has not already occurred. See the "Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing" section for commonly used traffic-switching procedures.

2.7.58  CONTBUS-DISABLED

Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)

SDH Logical Object: EQPT

The CONTBUS-DISABLED alarm is a function of the Release 6.0 enhanced cell bus verification feature. This alarm occurs when a card is defective upon insertion into the chassis or when a card already present in the chassis becomes defective. (That is, the card fails the enhanced cell bus verification test.) The alarm persists as long as the defective card remains in the chassis. When the card is removed, CONTBUS-DISABLED will remain raised for a one-minute wait time. This wait time is designed as a guard period so that the system can distinguish this outage from a briefer card reset communication outage.

If no card is reinserted into the original slot during the wait time, the alarm clears. After this time, a different, nondefective card (not the original card) should be inserted.

When CONTBUS-DISABLED is raised, no message-oriented communication is allowed to or from this slot to the TCC2/TCC2P card (thus avoiding node communication failure).

---

Caution CONTBUS-DISABLED clears only when the faulty card is removed for one minute. If any card at all is reinserted before the one-minute guard period expires, the alarm does not clear.

---

CONTBUS-DISABLED overrides the IMPROPRMVL alarm during the one-minute wait period, but afterward IMPROPRMVL can be raised because it is no longer suppressed. IMPROPRMVL is raised after CONTBUS-DISABLED clears if the card is in the node database. If CONTBUS-DISABLED has cleared but IMPROPRMVL is still active, inserting a card will clear the IMPROPRMVL alarm.

Clear the CONTBUS-DISABLED Alarm

---

Step 1 If the IMPROPRMVL alarm is raised, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure. (For general information about card installation, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.)

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or log into http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a directory of toll-free Technical Support numbers for your country.

2.7.59  CONTBUS-IO-A

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: EQPT

A TCCA to Shelf A Slot Communication Failure alarm occurs when the active Slot 7 TCC2/TCC2P card (TCC A) has lost communication with another card in the shelf. The other card is identified by the Object column in the CTC alarm window.

The CONTBUS-IO-A alarm can appear briefly when the ONS 15454 SDH switches to the protect TCC2/TCC2P card. In the case of a TCC2/TCC2P card protection switch, the alarm clears after the other cards establish communication with the newly active TCC2/TCC2P card. If the alarm persists, the problem lies with the physical path of communication from the TCC2/TCC2P card to the reporting card. The physical path of communication includes the TCC2/TCC2P card, the other card, and the backplane.

Clear the CONTBUS-IO-A Alarm

---

Step 1 Ensure that the reporting card is physically present in the shelf. Record the card type. Click the Inventory tab and view the Eqpt Type column to reveal the provisioned type.

If the actual card type and the provisioned card type do not match, see the "MEA (EQPT)" alarm on page 2-167 for the reporting card.

Step 2 If the alarm object is any single card slot other than the standby Slot 11 TCC2/TCC2P card, perform a CTC reset of the object card. Complete the "Reset a Traffic Card in CTC" procedure. For the LED behavior, see the "Typical Traffic Card LED Activity During Reset" section.

Step 3 If the alarm object is the standby Slot 11 TCC2/TCC2P card, complete the "Reset a Traffic Card in CTC" procedure for it. The procedure is similar.

Wait ten minutes to verify that the card you reset completely reboots and becomes the standby card. (A reset standby card remains standby.)

Step 4 If CONTBUS-IO-A is raised on several cards at once, complete the "Reset an ActiveTCC2/TCC2P Card and Activate the Standby Card" procedure.

Wait ten minutes to verify that the card you reset completely reboots and becomes the standby card.

Step 5 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.

Step 6 If the CTC reset does not clear the alarm, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure for the reporting card.

2.7.60  CONTBUS-IO-B

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: EQPT

A TCC B to Shelf Communication Failure alarm occurs when the active Slot 11 TCC2/TCC2P card (TCC B) has lost communication with another card in the shelf. The other card is identified by the Object column in the CTC alarm window.

The CONTBUS-IO-B alarm could appear briefly when the ONS 15454 SDH switches to the protect TCC2/TCC2P card. In the case of a TCC2/TCC2P card protection switch, the alarm clears after the other cards establish communication with the newly active TCC2/TCC2P card. If the alarm persists, the problem lies with the physical path of communication from the TCC2/TCC2P card to the reporting card. The physical path of communication includes the TCC2/TCC2P card, the other card, and the backplane.

2.7.61  CTNEQPT-MISMATCH

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SDH Logical Object: EQPT

The Connection Equipment Mismatch condition is raised when there is a mismatch between the cross-connect card preprovisioned in the slot and the card actually present in the shelf. For example, an XC-VXL card could be preprovisioned in Slot 10, but another card could be physically installed.

---

Note Cisco does not support configurations of unmatched cross-connect cards in Slot 8 and Slot 10, although this situation could briefly occur during the upgrade process.

---

---

Note The cross-connect card you are replacing should not be the active card. (It can be in SBY state or otherwise not in use.)

---

---

Note During an upgrade, this condition occurs and is raised as its default severity, Not Alarmed (NA). However, after the upgrade has occurred, if you wish to change the condition's severity so that it is Not Reported (NR), you can do this by modifying the alarm profile used at the node. For more information about modifying alarm severities, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

---

Clear the CTNEQPT-MISMATCH Condition

---

Step 1 Determine what kind of card is preprovisioned in the slot by completing the following steps:

a. In node view, click the Inventory tab.

b. View the slot's row contents in the Eqpt Type and Actual Eqpt Type columns.

The Eqpt Type column contains the equipment that is provisioned in the slot. The Actual Eqpt Type contains the equipment that is physically present in the slot. For example, Slot 8 could be provisioned for an XCVT card, which is shown in the Eqpt Type column, but a different cross-connect card could be physically present in the slot. (This card would be shown in the Actual Eqpt Type column.)

Step 2 Complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure for the mismatched card.

Step 3
