Alarm Troubleshooting
This chapter gives a description, severity, and troubleshooting procedure for each commonly encountered Cisco DWDM alarm and condition. Tables 2-1 through 2-5 provide lists of DWDM alarms organized by severity. Table 2-6 provides a list of alarms organized alphabetically. Table 2-7 gives definitions of all DWDM alarm logical objects, which are the basis of the alarm profile list in Table 2-8. For a comprehensive list of all conditions and instructions for using TL1 commands, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET 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 call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (1-800-553-2447).
For more information about alarm profiles, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note 
Unless otherwise noted, ONS 15454 refers to the ANSI and ETSI versions of the platform.
2.1 Alarm Indexes
The following tables group alarms and conditions by their default severities in the ONS DWDM system. These severities are the same whether they are reported in the CTC Alarms window severity (SEV) column or in TL1.
Note The CTC default alarm profile contains some alarms or conditions that are not currently implemented but are reserved for future use.
Note The CTC default alarm profile in some cases contains two severities for one alarm (for example, MJ/MN). The 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. This is in accordance with Telcordia GR-474.

2.2 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 SONET 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 (OC-N) or the optical transport layer overhead (OTN) as well as other objects. Therefore, both OCN: 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 "OCN" logical object refers to the OC-N signal. Logical object names or industry-standard terms are used within the entries as appropriate.
2.2.1 Alarm Logical Objects
Table 2-7 lists all logical alarm objects used in this chapter.

2.2.2 Alarm List by Logical Object Type
Table 2-8 lists all Release 8.0 DWDM 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 (for example, ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600), the initially displayed alarm list in the node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode) Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs > 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.

2.3 Trouble Characterizations
The ONS DWDM system reports trouble by utilizing standard alarm and condition characteristics, standard severities following the rules in Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and graphical user interface (GUI) state indicators.These notifications are described in the following paragraphs.
The ONS System uses standard Telcordia 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 remedy, such as a loss of signal. Conditions do not necessarily require troubleshooting.
Note Unless otherwise specified in this chapter, "ONS 15454" refers to both ANSI and ETSI versions of the platform.
Note For a description of CTC-view terminology, refer to the "Cisco Transport Controller Operation" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
2.3.1 Alarm Characteristics
The ONS DWDM system 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.)
2.3.2 Condition Characteristics
Conditions include any problem detected on an ONS DWDM shelf. They can 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.)
For a comprehensive list of all conditions, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide. For information about transients, see Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."
Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms on that entity. You can retrieve alarms and events on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab.
2.3.3 Severity
The ONS DWDM system uses Telcordia-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. Loss of traffic on an STS-1, which can hold 28 DS-1 circuits, would be a Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA) alarm.
•A Major (MJ) alarm is a serious alarm, but the trouble has less impact on the network. For example, loss of traffic on more than five DS-1 circuits is Critical (CR), but loss of traffic on one to four DS-1 circuits is Major (MJ).
•Minor (MN) alarms generally are those that do not affect service. For example, the automatic protection switching (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 free-run synchronization state (FRNGSYNC) or a forced-switch to primary (FRCSWTOPRI) timing 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 (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. Procedures for customizing alarm severities are located in the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
2.3.4 Service Effect
Service-Affecting (SA) alarms—those that interrupt service—could be Critical (CR), Major (MJ), or Minor (MN) severity alarms. Service-Affecting (SA) alarms indicate service is affected. Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) alarms always have a Minor (MN) default severity.
2.3.5 State
The Alarms or 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/shelf view, etc. Transient events do not require user action. These are listed in Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."
2.4 Safety Summary
This section covers safety considerations designed to ensure safe operation of the ONS DWDM system. Personnel should not perform any procedures in this chapter unless they understand all safety precautions, practices, and warnings for the system equipment. Some troubleshooting procedures require installation or removal of cards; in these instances users should 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 OC-192 cards; in these instances users should pay close attention to the following warnings.
Warning On the OC-192 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 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
2.5 Trouble-Clearing 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 are done checking for alarms, you can click the alarm filter icon again to turn filtering back on. For more information about alarm filtering, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM 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 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab.
2.5.1 AIS
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: BITS, TRUNK
The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) condition indicates that this node is detecting an alarm indication signal in the incoming signal SONET overhead.
Generally, any AIS is a special SONET 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 AIS Condition
Step 1 Determine whether there are alarms such as LOS on the upstream nodes and equipment or if there are OOS,MT (or Locked,maintenance), or OOS,DSBLD (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 call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.2 AIS-L
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
logical Objects: OCN, TRUNK
The AIS Line condition indicates that this node is detecting line-level AIS in the incoming signal. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node.
This condition can also be raised in conjunction with the "TIM-S" alarm if AIS-L is enabled. (For more information about the TIM-S alarm, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Note ONS 15454 DS-3 terminal (inward) loopbacks do not transmit an AIS in the direction away from the loopback. Instead of AIS, a continuance of the signal transmitted into the loopback is provided. A DS3/EC1-48 card can be provisioned to transmit AIS for a terminal loopback.
Clear the AIS-L Condition
Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.
Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.3 ALS
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: 2R, AOTS, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, OCN, TRUNK
The Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) condition occurs when an amplifier card (OPT-BST or OPT-PRE) is switched on. The turn-on process lasts approximately nine seconds, and the condition clears after approximately 10 seconds.
Note ALS is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting.
2.5.4 ALS-DISABLED
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
The Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) condition occurs when a DWDM Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE) or Optical Booster (OPT-BST) Amplifier card's ALS is changed to Disabled from any other state (such as Enabled) by user command.
Clear the ALS-DISABLED Condition
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the OPT-BST or OPT-PRE card to display the card view.
Step 2 Click the Maintenance > ALS tabs.
Step 3 In the ALS Mode column, change the entry from Disabled to your required state.
Step 4 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.5 AMPLI-INIT
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: AOTS
The Amplifier Initialized condition occurs when an amplifier card (OPT-BST or OPT-PRE) is not able to calculate gain. This condition typically accompanies the "APC-DISABLED" alarm on page 2-24.
Note For basic information about amplifier cards, refer to the "Card Reference" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual. For information abut gain, refer to the "Network Reference" chapter in the same manual. For information about changing their settings, refer to the "Change DWDM Card Settings" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Clear the AMPLI-INIT Condition
Step 1 Complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure on the most recently created circuit.
Step 2 Recreate this circuit using the procedures in the "Create Channels and Circuits" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log onto http://www.cisco.com/tac for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.6 APC-CORR-SKIPPED
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: AOTS, OCH, OMS, OTS
The Automatic Power Control (APC) Correction Skipped condition occurs when the actual power level of a DWDM channel exceeds the expected setting by 3 dBm or more. APC compares actual power levels with previous power levels every hour or after any channel allocation is performed. If the power difference to be compensated by APC exceeds the range of + 3 dBm or -3 dBm compared with the previous value set, APC is designed not to correct the level and the APC-CORR-SKIPPED condition is raised.
There is no operator action to resolve this condition. It stays raised until the power level problem is resolved and APC obtains a normal reading. For more information about APC, refer to the "Network Reference" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, and the "1.12.2 System Restart after a Fiber Cut" section on page 1-68.
2.5.7 APC-DISABLED
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: NE, SHELF, AOTS, OTS, OMS, OCH, EQPT
The APC Disabled condition occurs when the information related to the number of DWDM channels is not reliable. The condition can occur when any of the following related alarms also occur: the "AMPLI-INIT" condition on page 2-23, the "EQPT" alarm on page 2-46, the "IMPROPRMVL" alarm on page 2-70, or the "MEA (EQPT)" alarm on page 2-111. If the condition occurs with the creation of the first circuit, delete and recreate the circuit. (Refer to the "Create Channels and Circuits" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide for information about this.) For more information about APC, refer to the "Network Reference" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Clear the APC-DISABLED Condition
Step 1 Complete the appropriate procedure to clear the main alarm:
•Clear the EQPT Alarm
•Clear the IMPROPRMVL Alarm
•Clear the MEA (EQPT) Alarm
Step 2 If the condition does not clear, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure and then recreate it using procedures in the "Create Channels and Circuits" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.8 APC-END
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: NE
The APC Terminated on Manual Request condition is raised when APC terminates after it is manually launched from CTC or TL1. APC-END is an informational condition that is raised and cleared spontaneously by the system and is not visible in the CTC Condition window. It is visible only by retrieving it in the Conditions or History tabs. For more information about APC, refer to the "Network Reference" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Note APC-END is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting.
2.5.9 APC-OUT-OF-RANGE
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: AOTS, OCH, OMS, OTS
The APC Out of Range condition is raised on amplifier cards (OPT-PRE and OPT-BST); demultiplexer cards (32DMX) having a single variable optical attenuator (VOA); and optical add/drop multiplexer cards (AD-1C-xx.x, AD-2C-xx.x, AD-4C-xx.x, AD-1B-xx.x, and AD-4B-xx.x) when the requested gain or attenuation setpoint cannot be set because it exceeds the port parameter range. For example, this condition is raised when APC attempts to set the OPT-BST gain higher than 20 dBm (the card's maximum setpoint) or to set the attenuation on the express VOA lower than 0 dBm (its minimum setpoint).
Note For general information about DWDM cards, refer to the "Card Reference" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual. For more information about APC, refer to the "Network Reference" chapter in the same manual. For information about changing their settings, refer to the "Change DWDM Card Settings" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Clear the APC-OUT-OF-RANGE Condition
Step 1 There are various root causes for the APC-OUT-OF-RANGE condition. To determine the correct root cause, complete the network-level troubleshooting procedures and node level problems located in 1.13 Node Level (Intranode) Problems of Chapter 1, "General Troubleshooting".
Step 1 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.10 APC-WRONG-GAIN
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: AOTS
The APC-WRONG-GAIN condition is raised on the amplifier card (OMP-AMP-17-C), when the actual gain of the card (17dB) does not match the expected gain calculated by APC. There is a margin of +1 or -1 dB before the condition is raised.
Note The APC-WRONG-GAIN condition indicates a system issue and not the card problem.
Clear the APC-WRONG-GAIN Alarm
The condition can be cleared by recovering the power at the input port:
Step 1 Check the incoming fiber connection and clean them.
Step 2 Check the regulation points (VOA and amplifiers) along the optical path upstream of the OMP-AMP-17-C card.
Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log onto http://www.cisco.com/tac for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.11 AS-CMD
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: 2R, AOTS, BPLANE, EQPT, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, NE, OCH, OCN/STMN, OMS, OTS, PPM, PWR, SHELF, TRUNK
The Alarms Suppressed by User Command condition applies to the network element (NE object), backplane (BPLANE object), a single MXP or TXP card, or a port on one of these cards. It occurs when alarms are suppressed for that object and its subordinate objects. For example, suppressing alarms on a card also suppresses alarms on its ports.
Note For more information about suppressing alarms, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note This condition is not raised for multiservice transport platform (MSTP) cards such as amplifiers, multiplexers, or demultiplexers.
Clear the AS-CMD Condition
Step 1 For all nodes, in node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), click the Conditions tab.
Step 2 Click Retrieve. If you have already retrieved conditions, look under the Object column and Eqpt Type column and note what entity the condition is reported against, such as a port, slot, or shelf.
•If the condition is reported against a slot and card, alarms were either suppressed for the entire card or for one of the ports. Note the slot number and continue with Step 3.
•If the condition is reported against the backplane, go to Step 7.
•If the condition is reported against the NE object, go to Step 8.
Step 3 Determine whether alarms are suppressed for a port and if so, raise the suppressed alarms:
a. Double-click the card to open the card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs and complete one of the following substeps:
•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is checked for a port row, deselect it and click Apply.
•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is not checked for a port row, from the View menu choose Go to Previous View.
Step 4 If the AS-CMD condition is reported for a card and not an individual port, in node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
Step 5 Locate the row number for the reported card slot.
Step 6 Click the Suppress Alarms column check box to deselect the option for the card row.
Step 7 If the condition is reported for the backplane, the alarms are suppressed for cards such as the ONS 15454 AIP that are not in the optical or electrical slots. To clear the alarm, complete the following steps:
a. Click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
b. In the backplane row, uncheck the Suppress Alarms column check box.

2.5.38 EOC
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: OCN/STMN, TRUNK
The SONET DCC Termination Failure alarm occurs when the ONS system loses its DCC. Although this alarm is primarily SONET, it can apply to DWDM. For example, the OSCM card can raise this alarm on its OC-3 section overhead.
The SDCC consists of three bytes, D1 through D3, in the SONET overhead. The bytes convey information about operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P). The ONS system uses the DCC on the SONET section layer to communicate network management information.
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
Note If a circuit shows a partial state when this alarm is raised, the logical circuit is in place. The circuit is able to carry traffic when the connection issue is resolved. You do not need to delete the circuit when troubleshooting this alarm.
Note For general information about OSCM or other DWDM cards, refer to the "Card Reference" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual. For information about changing their settings, refer to the "Change DWDM Card Settings" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For more information about the SONET (ANSI) or SDH (ETSI) overhead, refer to the "SONET Topologies and Upgrades" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the "SDH Topologies and Upgrades" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.
Note The EOC alarm is raised on the DWDM trunk in MSTP systems. Its SDH (ETSI) counterpart, MS-EOC, is not raised against the trunk port.
Clear the EOC Alarm
Step 1 If the LOS (DS1) alarm or SF-L alarm is reported, complete the appropriate troubleshooting procedure in the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS system. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear on the reporting node, verify the physical connections between the cards and that the fiber-optic cables are configured to carry SDCC traffic. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Turn Up a Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Step 3 If the physical connections are correct and configured to carry DCC traffic, ensure that both ends of the fiber span have in-service (IS or Unlocked) ports. Verify that the ACT/SBY LED on each card is green.
Step 4 When the LEDs on the cards are correctly illuminated, complete the "Verify or Create Node Section DCC Terminations" procedure to verify that the DCC is provisioned for the ports at both ends of the fiber span.
Step 5 Repeat Step 4 at the adjacent nodes.
Step 6 If DCC is provisioned for the ends of the span, verify that the port is active and in service by completing the following steps:
a. Confirm that the card shows a green LED in CTC or on the physical card. A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.
b. To determine whether the port is in service, in node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the card in CTC to open the card view.
c. In card view, click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
d. Verify that the Admin State column lists the port as IS (or Unlocked).
e. If the Admin State column lists the port as OOS,MT (or Locked,maintenance) or OOS,DSBLD (or Locked,disabled), click the column and choose IS , or Unlocked. Click Apply.
Step 7 For all nodes, if the card is in service, use an optical test set to determine whether signal failures are present on fiber terminations. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.
Step 8 If no signal failures exist on terminations, measure power levels to verify that the budget loss is within the parameters of the receiver. Refer to the "Hardware Specifications" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual for card power levels.
Step 9 If budget loss is within parameters, ensure that fiber connectors are securely fastened and properly terminated. For more information about cabling, refer to the "Turn Up a Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Step 10 If fiber connectors are properly fastened and terminated, complete the "Reset an Active TCC2/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.
Resetting the active TCC2/TCC2P card switches control to the standby TCC2/TCC2P card. If the alarm clears when the ONS system node switches to the standby TCC2/TCC2P card, the user can assume that the previously active card is the cause of the alarm.
Step 11 If the TCC2/TCC2P card reset does not clear the alarm, delete the problematic SDCC termination:
a. From the View menu in card view, choose Go to Previous View if you have not already done so.
b. In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > SDCC tabs.
c. Highlight the problematic DCC termination.
d. Click Delete.
e. Click Yes in the Confirmation Dialog box.
Step 12 Recreate the SDCC termination. Refer to the "Turn Up a Node" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide for procedures.
Step 13 Verify that both ends of the DCC have been recreated at the optical ports.
Step 14 If the alarm has not cleared, call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447). If the Cisco TAC technician tells you to reseat the card, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) the Standby TCC2/TCC2P Card" procedure. If the Cisco TAC technician tells you to remove the card and reinstall a new one, follow the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure.

Figure 2-1 Shelf LCD Panel
Step 2 Verify that the environmental temperature of the room is not abnormally high.
Step 3 If the room temperature is not abnormal, physically ensure that nothing prevents the fan-tray assembly from passing air through the ONS system shelf.
Step 4 If airflow is not blocked, physically ensure that blank faceplates fill the ONS system shelf empty slots. Blank faceplates help airflow.
Step 5 If faceplates fill the empty slots, determine whether the air filter needs replacement. Refer to the "Inspect, Clean, and Replace the Reusable Air Filter" procedure.
Step 6 If the fan does not run or the alarm persists, complete the "Replace the Fan-Tray Assembly" procedure.
Note The fan should run immediately when correctly inserted.
Step 7 If the replacement fan-tray assembly does not operate correctly, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem (1-800-553-2447) if it applies to the NE, or a Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) problem if it applies to equipment.
2.5.76 HI-TXPOWER
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: 2R, EQPT, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, OCN/STMN, PPM, TRUNK

Step 1 Check the PM of the Trunk-Tx port. Verify that received power is above the optics threshold:
a. In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the card to display the card view.
b. For the Trunk-Tx port, double-click the card and click the Performance > Optics PM > Historical PM tabs, choose the port in the Port drop-down list, and click Refresh.
c. Compare the refreshed PM values with the threshold (ensuring that it is above the threshold value) by clicking the Performance > Optics PM > Current Values tabs.
d. Ensure that a proper threshold has been provisioned for the receive value. (Refer to the "Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.) If an incorrect threshold has been set, adjust it to a value within the allowed limits. If instead the alarm condition does not clear, move to next step.
Step 2 Physically verify, by using a standard power meter that the optical output power is overcoming the expected power threshold. If so, the card should be replaced at first opportunity
Note The higher power level is not a major issue for the DWDM card (32MUX-O, 32WSS-O, or AD-xC-xx.x) connected to the faulty TXP/MXP, because an internal VOA can automatically decrease the optical power to the expected level.
Step 3 Complete the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure.
Step 4 If the alarm does not clear after the replacement, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.5.77 HLDOVRSYNC
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: NE-SREF
The Holdover Synchronization Mode condition is caused by loss of the primary and second timing references in the node. Timing reference loss occurs when line coding on the timing input is different from the configuration on the node, and it often occurs during the selection of a new node reference clock. The condition clears when primary or second timing is reestablished. After the 24-hour holdover period expires, timing slips could begin to occur on an ONS system relying on an internal clock.
Clear the HLDOVRSYNC Condition
Step 1 Clear additional alarms that relate to timing, such as:
•FRNGSYNC
•FSTSYNC
•LOF (BITS)
•LOS (BITS)
•MANSWTOINT
•MANSWTOPRI
•MANSWTOSEC
•MANSWTOTHIRD
•SWTOPRI
•SWTOSEC
•SWTOTHIRD
•SYNC-FREQ
•SYNCPRI
•SYNCSEC
•SYNCTHIRD
Step 2 Reestablish a primary and secondary timing source according to local site practice. If none exists, refer to the "Turn Up the Network" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.5.78 I-HITEMP
Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: NE
The Industrial High Temperature alarm occurs when the temperature of the ONS system is above 149 degrees F (65 degrees C) or below -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C). This alarm is similar to the HITEMP alarm but is used for the industrial environment. If this alarm is used, you can customize your alarm profile to ignore the lower-temperature HITEMP alarm.
Clear the I-HITEMP Alarm
Step 1 Complete the "Clear the HITEMP Alarm" procedure.
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.5.79 ILK-FAIL
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: TRUNK
The ADM Peer Group Interlink Failure condition is raised on the ADM-10G card. This condition occurs when one of the following SONET/OTN alarms is detected on the interlink ports of the ADM-10G card.
•"LOS (TRUNK)" alarm, page 2-93
•"LOF (TRUNK)" alarm, page 2-84
•"SF (TRUNK)" alarm, page 2-144
Clear the ILK-FAIL Alarm
Step 1 Clear the root-cause service-affecting alarm by using one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
•"Clear the LOS (TRUNK) Alarm" procedure
•"Clear the LOF (TRUNK) Alarm" procedure
•"Clear the SF (TRUNK) Condition" procedure
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.5.80 IMPROPRMVL
Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Objects: EQPT, PPM
The Improper Removal equipment alarm occurs when a card is physically removed from its slot before it is deleted from CTC. The card does not need to be in service to cause the IMPROPRMVL alarm; it only needs to be recognized by CTC. The alarm does not appear if you delete the card from CTC before you physically remove the card from the node. It can also occur if the card is inserted into a slot but is not fully plugged into the backplane. For PPMs (SFPs), the alarm occurs if you provision a PPM (SFP) but no physical module is inserted on the port.
Note Removing an SFP from the client ports of a Y-cable protection group card causes an IMPROPRMVL (PPM) alarm. The working port raises the CR,IMPROPRMVL,SA alarm and the protected port raises the MN,IMPROPRMVL,NSA alarm. The severity on the client ports is changed according to the protection switch state.
Caution Do not remove a card during a card reboot. If CTC begins to reboot a card before you remove the card, allow the card to finish rebooting. After the card reboots, delete the card in CTC again and physically remove the card before it begins to reboot. When you delete the card, CTC loses connection with the node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), and goes to network view.
Note CTC gives the user approximately 15 seconds to physically remove the card before CTC begins a card reboot.
Note For more information about provisioning PPMs (SFPs), refer to the "Turn Up a Node" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For specific PPM (SFP) values, refer to the "Hardware Specifications" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Note For more information about protection schemes, refer to the "Manage the Node" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note It can take up to 30 minutes for software to be updated on a standby TCC2/TCC2P card.
Clear the IMPROPRMVL Alarm
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), right-click the card reporting the IMPROPRMVL.
Step 2 Choose Delete from the shortcut menu.
Note CTC does not allow you to delete the reporting card if the card is in service, does have circuits mapped to it, is paired in a working protection scheme, has DCC enabled, or is used as a timing reference.
Step 3 If any ports on the card are in service, place them out of service (OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance):
Caution Before placing a port out of service (OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance) or OOS,DSBLD (or Locked,disabled), ensure that no live traffic is present.
a. In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the reporting card to open the card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
c. Click the Admin State column of any in-service (IS or Unlocked) ports.
d. Choose OOS,MT (or Locked,maintenance) to take the ports out of service.
Step 4 If a circuit has been mapped to the card, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure.
Caution Before deleting the circuit, ensure that the circuit does not carry live traffic.
Step 5 If the card is paired in a protection scheme, delete the protection group by completing the following steps:
a. Click View > Go to Previous View to return to node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode).
b. If you are already in node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Protection tab.
c. Click the protection group of the reporting card.
d. Click Delete.
Step 6 If the card is provisioned for DCC, delete the DCC provisioning by completing the following steps:
a. In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the ONS system Provisioning > Comm Channels > SDCC (or Provisioning > Comm Channels > MS DCC) tabs.
b. Click the slots and ports listed in DCC terminations.
c. Click Delete and click Yes in the dialog box that appears.
Step 7 If the card is used as a timing reference, change the timing reference by completing the following steps:
a. In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.
b. Under NE Reference, click the drop-down arrow for Ref-1.
c. Change Ref-1 from the listed OC-N/STM-N card to Internal Clock.
d. Click Apply.
Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.5.81 INCOMPATIBLE-SEND-PDIP
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: SYSTEM
The Incompatible Software alarm is raised when CTC'S send PDI-P provisioning differs from the host node's provisioning.
Clear the INCOMPATIBLE-SEND-PDIP Alarm
Step 1 Reconfigure CTC's send PDI-P alarm capability to align with the host node settings.
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.82 INCOMPATIBLE-SW
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: SYSTEM
The Incompatible Software alarm is raised when CTC cannot connect to the NE due to differing, incompatible versions of software between CTC and the NE. The alarm is cleared by restarting CTC in order to redownload the CTC JAR files from the NE.
Clear the INCOMPATIBLE-SW Alarm
Step 1 Restart the CTC application.
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.83 INTRUSION-PSWD
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: NE
The Security Intrusion Incorrect Password condition occurs after a user attempts a provisionable (by Superuser) number of unsuccessful logins, a login with an expired password, or an invalid password. The alarmed user is locked out of the system, and INTRUSION-PSWD condition is raised. This condition is only shown in Superuser login sessions, not in login sessions for lower-level users. The INTRUSION-PSWD condition is automatically cleared when a provisionable lockout timeout expires, or it can be manually cleared in CTC by the Superuser if the lockout is permanent.
Clear the INTRUSION-PSWD Condition
Step 1 Log in as a user ID with superuser rights. (For more information about this, refer to the "Connect the PC and Log Into the GUI" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.)
Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Security > Users tabs.
Step 3 Click Clear Security Intrusion Alarm.
Step 4 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.84 INVMACADR
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Non-Service Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: AIP
The Equipment Failure Invalid MAC Address alarm occurs when the ONS system MAC address is invalid. Each ONS system has a unique, permanently assigned MAC address. The address resides on an AIP EEPROM. The TCC2/TCC2P card reads the address value from the AIP chip during boot-up and keeps this value in its synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM).
Under normal circumstances, the read-only MAC address can be viewed in the node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode) Provisioning > Network tab in CTC.
The ONS system uses both IP and MAC addresses for circuit routing. When an INVMACADR alarm exists on a node, you see a PARTIAL circuit in the CTC circuit status column. The circuit works and is able to carry traffic, but CTC cannot logically display the circuit end-to-end information.
An invalid MAC address can be caused when:
•There is a read error from the AIP during boot-up; in this case, the reading TCC2/TCC2P card uses the default MAC address (00-10-cf-ff-ff-ff).
•There is a read error occurring on one of the redundant TCC2/TCC2P cards that read the address from the AIP; these cards read the address independently and could therefore each read different address values.
•An AIP component failure causes a read error.
•The ribbon cable connecting the AIP card to the backplane is bad.
Clear the INVMACADR Alarm
Step 1 Check for any outstanding alarms that were raised against the active and standby TCC2/TCC2P card and resolve them.
Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, determine whether the LCD display on the fan tray (Figure 2-1) is blank or if the text is garbled. If so, proceed to Step 8. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 At the earliest maintenance window, reset the standby TCC2/TCC2P card:
Note The reset requires approximately five minutes. Do not perform any other step until the reset is complete.
a. Log into a node on the network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step b.
b. Identify the active TCC2/TCC2P card.
A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.
c. In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), right-click the standby TCC2/TCC2P card in CTC.
d. Choose Reset Card from the shortcut menu.
e. Click Yes in the Are You Sure dialog box.
The card resets, the FAIL LED blinks on the physical card, and connection to the node is lost. CTC switches to network view.
f. 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.
g. Double-click the node and ensure that the reset TCC2/TCC2P card is still in standby mode and that the other TCC2/TCC2P card is active.
A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.
h. Ensure that no new alarms associated with this reset appear in the CTC Alarms window.
If the standby TCC2/TCC2P card fails to boot into standby mode and reloads continuously, the AIP is probably defective. In this case, the standby TCC2/TCC2P card is unsuccessfully attempting to read the EEPROM located on the AIP. The TCC2/TCC2P card reloads until it reads the EEPROM. Proceed to Step 8.
Step 4 If the standby TCC2/TCC2P card rebooted successfully into standby mode, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) the Standby TCC2/TCC2P Card" procedure.
Resetting the active TCC2/TCC2P card causes the standby TCC2/TCC2P card to become active. The standby TCC2/TCC2P card keeps a copy of the chassis MAC address. If its stored MAC address is valid, the alarm should clear.
Step 5 After the reset, note whether or not the INVMACADR alarm has cleared or is still present.
Step 6 Complete the "Reset an Active TCC2/TCC2P Card and Activate the Standby Card" procedure again to place the standby TCC2/TCC2P card back into active mode.
After the reset, note whether or not the INVMACADR alarm has cleared or is still present. If the INVMACADR alarm remains standing through both TCC2/TCC2P card resets, this indicates that the AIP is probably defective. Proceed to Step 8.
If the INVMACADR was raised during one TCC2/TCC2P card reset and cleared during the other, the TCC2/TCC2P card that was active while the alarm was raised needs to be replaced. Continue with Step 7.
Step 7 If the faulty TCC2/TCC2P card is currently in standby mode, complete the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure for this card. If the faulty TCC2/TCC2P card is currently active, during the next available maintenance window complete the "Reset an Active TCC2/TCC2P Card and Activate the Standby Card" procedure and then complete the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure.
Note If the replacement TCC2/TCC2P card is loaded with a different software version from the current TCC2/TCC2P card, the card boot-up could take up to 30 minutes. During this time, the card LEDs flicker between Fail and Act/Sby as the active TCC2/TCC2P card version software is copied to the new standby card.
Step 8 Open a case with Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) for assistance with determining the node's previous MAC address.
Step 9 Replace the ribbon cable between the system board and the AIP with a known-good cable.
Step 10 If the alarm persists, complete the "Replace an Alarm Interface Panel" procedure located in the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 11 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.85 LASER-APR
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: AOTS
The Laser Automatic Power Reduction (APR) alarm condition is raised by OSC-CSM, OSCM, OPT-BST, and OPT-PRE cards when the laser is working in power reduction mode. The condition clears as soon as safety conditions are released and the power value reaches the normal setpoint.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051.
Note Only inactivate the APR function temporarily for installation or maintenance reasons. Activate APR immediately after maintenance or installation.
Note LASER-APR is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting. For more information about optical amplifier APR, refer to the "Card Reference" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.89 LMP-FAIL
Default Severity:Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: GE
The Link Management Protocol Fail alarm is raised by the TCC2/TCC2P card when an LMP control channel fails or when there is a traffic engineering (TE) link correlation error. When the alarm is raised against a control channel, it uses a control channel (CTRLx) AID. When the alarm is raised against a TE link, a TE link AID (TLINKx) is used.
The alarm clears when the control channel or TE link is restored.
Note LMP-FAIL occurs independently of the condition hierarchy between LMP-SD, LMP-SF, or LMP-UNALLOC.
Note When the LMP-FAIL alarm is reported against a control channel (CTRLx) AID, it only refers to control channel failure. It does not directly indicate data link or traffic engineering link status.
Note When the LMP-FAIL alarm is reported against a TE link AID (TLINKx), it refers only to TE link status, not to control channel or data link status.
Clear the LMP-FAIL Alarm
Step 1 Verify the AID (CTRLx or TLINKx) of the alarm.
Step 2 If the alarm is against the control channel AID, this is caused by mismatched control channel parameters between the near-end ONS 15454 and the far-end node (which may be another vendor's equipment). Complete the following steps:
a. Determine whether both near-end and far-end sides of the control channel are in the IS or Unlocked administrative state:
•Click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > LMP > Control Channels tabs and view the Admin State column content for the channel.
•If the status does not say IS or Unlocked, change it and click Apply.
b. Determine whether the near-end node LMP configuration contains the far-end node's IP address as its remote node IP. Also verify that the near-end node's LMP configuration uses the LMP node ID as its own remote node ID. If one or more of these values is incorrect, enter it correctly.
c. Determine whether the far-end node LMP configuration contains the near-end node's IP address as its remote node IP. Also verify that the far-end node's LMP configuration uses the LMP node ID as its own remote node ID. If one or more of these values is incorrect, enter it correctly.
d. Verify that the far-end node is using the near-end node's IP address as its remote node IP address, and that the far end is also using the LMP node ID as its remote node ID. Update the far end's values if they are incorrect.
Step 3 If instead the alarm is raised against the TE link AID, complete the following steps:
a. Determine whether both near-end and far-end sides of the TE link are in the IS or Unlocked administrative state. If either end is currently down, update its administrative state to IS or Unlocked:
•Click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > LMP > TE links tab.
•If the status does not say IS or Unlocked, change it and click Apply.
b. Determine whether the near-end node's remote TE link ID matches the far-end node's local TE link ID. If the near-end node's remote value is incorrect, enter it correctly.
c. Determine whether the far-end node's remote TE link ID corresponds to the near-end node's local TE link ID. If the far-end node's remote value is incorrect, enter it correctly.
Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.5.90 LMP-SD
Default Severity:Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: GE
The LMP Data Link Signal Degrade condition occurs for when the TCC2/TCC2P receives an LMP link summary or channel status message that the control channel is not available from the far end, so the data link level of service is not guaranteed. The degrade range is provisionable.
LMP-SD clears when the TCC2/TCC2P receives a link summary or channel status message reporting that the data link is in the Signal Okay (OK) state.
LMP-SD is part of an alarm hierarchy that includes LMP-SF, and LMP-UNALLOC. The hierarchy is as follows: If LMP-UNALLOC is raised, LMP-SF and LMP-SD are suppressed. If LMP-SF is raised, it suppresses LMP-SD. LMP-SF and LMP-UNALLOC both suppress near-end LOS-type alarms for DWDM clients. LMP-SD, however, does not suppress LOS alarms.
This condition clears when the far-end trouble has been cleared.
Clear the LMP-SD Condition
Step 1 Look for and clear any of the following alarms in Table 2-9 and Table 2-10 occurring on the far-end port.

2.5.91 LMP-SF
Default Severity:Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: GE
The LMP Data Link Signal Fail condition notifies the near-end user of a far-end problem (and thus is NSA for the near end). The near-end's TCC2/TCC2P receives an LMP link summary or channel status message that the data link service has failed. The signal fail threshold provisionable.
LMP-SF clears when the TCC2/TCC2P receives a link summary or channel status message reporting that the data link is in the Signal Okay (OK) state.
LMP-SF is part of an alarm hierarchy that includes LMP-SD, and LMP-UNALLOC. The hierarchy is as follows: If LMP-UNALLOC is raised, LMP-SF and LMP-SD are suppressed. If LMP-SF is raised, it suppresses LMP-SD. LMP-SF and LMP-UNALLOC both suppress near-end LOS-type alarms for DWDM clients, but LMP-SD does not suppress LOS-type alarms.
This condition clears when the far-end trouble has been cleared.
Clear the LMP-SF Condition
Step 1 Look for and clear any of the following alarms in Table 2-11, Table 2-12, or Table 2-13 occurring on the far-end port.
