Admin State

Sets the port service state unless network conditions prevent the change. For more information about administrative states, see Appendix C, "DWDM Enhanced State Model."

IS (ANSI) or Unlocked (ETSI)—Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to IS-NR (ANSI) or Unlocked-enabled (ETSI).

IS,AINS (ANSI) or Unlocked,automaticInService (ETSI)—Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to OOS-AU,AINS (ANSI) or Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService (ETSI).

OOS,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked,disabled (ETSI)—Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked-enabled,disabled (ETSI).

OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI)—Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,MT (ANSI) or Locked-enabled,maintenance (ETSI).

Service State

Identifies the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. For more information about service states, see Appendix C, "DWDM Enhanced State Model."

IS-NR (In-Service and Normal [ANSI]) or Unlocked-enabled (ETSI)— The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

OOS-AU,AINS (Out-Of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service [ANSI]) or Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService (ETSI)— The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in the OOS-AU,AINS/Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to IS-NR/Unlocked-enabled.

OOS-MA,DSBLD (Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled [ANSI]) or Locked-enabled,disabled (ETSI)— The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

OOS-MA,MT (Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance [ANSI]) or Locked-enabled,maintenance (ETSI)— The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

AINS Soak

Sets the automatic in-service soak period.

Duration of valid input signal, in hh.mm format, after which the card becomes in service (IS) automatically

0 to 48 hours, 15-minute increments

Type

Defines the port as SONET or SDH. The Enable Sync Msg field and the Send Do Not Use field must be disabled before the port can be set to SDH.
