Alarm Troubleshooting
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 15327 alarm and condition. Tables 2-1 through 2-5 provide lists of ONS 15327 alarms organized by severity. Table 2-6 provides a list of alarms organized alphabetically. Table 2-7 gives definitions of all ONS 15327 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 SONET TL1 Command Guide.
An alarm's troubleshooting procedure applies to both the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and Transaction Language One (TL1) version of that alarm. If the alarm does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.1 Alarm Index by Default Severity
The following tables group alarms and conditions by their default severities in the ONS 15327 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 which 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 ONS 15327 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-CORE.

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 SONET 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.

2.4 Alarm List by Logical Object Type
Table 2-8 lists all ONS 15327 Release 7.0 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 15327, ONS 15454, 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 15327 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 15327 uses standard Telcordia categories to characterize levels of trouble. The system reports trouble notifications as alarms and status; it reports 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.
2.5.1 Alarm Characteristics
The ONS 15327 uses standard alarm entities to identify what is causing trouble. All alarms originate 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 15327 shelf. They can include standing or transient notifications. A snapshot of all raised and 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 more information about transient conditions, see Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."
2.5.3 Severities
The ONS 15327 uses Telcordia-devised standard severities for alarms and conditions: Critical (CR), Major (MJ), Minor (MN), Not Alarmed (NA), and Not Reported (NR):
•
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 a free-run (FRNGSYNC) state or a forced-switch-to-primary (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 (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 15327 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 a path trace identifier mismatch (TIM-P) is raised on a circuit path and then a loss of pointer on the path (LOP-P) is raised on the path, the LOP-P alarm stands and the TIM-P closes. The path alarm hierarchy is shown in Table 2-9.

The full hierarchy for near-end failures is shown in Table 2-11. This table is taken from Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

2.5.5 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.
2.5.6 States
The Alarms or History tab State (ST) columns 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 Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."
2.6 Safety Summary
This section covers safety considerations designed to ensure safe operation of the ONS 15327. 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 when the system is operating. Use caution when removing or installing cards.
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
2.7 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. When you are 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 in the Cisco ONS 15327 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 15327 Procedure Guide.
Note
When an entity is put in the Out-of-Service and Maintenance (OOS,MT) administrative state, the ONS 15327 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.
2.7.1 AIS
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, DS3
The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) condition indicates that this node is detecting the 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 the node sees 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 on the upstream nodes and equipment, especially the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99, or if there are out-of-service (OOS,MT or OOS,DSBLD) 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 Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.2 AIS-L
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
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 on page 2-144 if AIS-L is enabled.
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).
2.7.3 AIS-P
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: STSMON, STSTRM
The AIS Path condition means that this node is detecting AIS in the incoming path. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node.
Clear the AIS-P Condition
Step 1
Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.
Step 2
If the condition does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.4 AIS-V
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: VT-MON, VT-TERM
The AIS VT condition means that this node is detecting AIS in the incoming VT-level path.
See the "1.8.3 AIS-V on XTC-28-3 Card Unused VT Circuits" section on page 1-69 for more information.
Clear the AIS-V 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).
2.7.5 ALS
For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
2.7.6 APC-DISABLED
For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
2.7.7 APC-END
For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
2.7.8 APSB
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
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 SONET nodes not manufactured by Cisco send invalid APS codes if they are configured in a 1+1 protection group with newer SONET nodes, such as the ONS 15327. These invalid codes cause an APSB alarm on an ONS 15327.
Clear the APSB Alarm
Step 1
Use an optical test set to examine the incoming SONET 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 15327.
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 Card" procedure.
Caution 
For the ONS 15327, 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 condition does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.9 APSCDFLTK
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
The APS Default K Byte Received alarm occurs during bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) provisioning or when a BLSR is not properly configured—for example, when a four-node BLSR has one node configured as a path protection. When this misconfiguration occurs, a node in a path protection or 1+1 configuration does not send the two valid K1/K2 APS bytes anticipated by a system configured for BLSR. One of the bytes sent is considered invalid by the BLSR configuration. The K1/K2 byte is monitored by receiving equipment for link-recovery information.
Troubleshooting for APSCDFLTK is often similar to troubleshooting for the "BLSROSYNC" alarm on page 2-35.
Clear the APSCDFLTK Alarm
Step 1
Complete the "Identify an ONS 15327 BLSR 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 ONS 15327 BLSR 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 "E-W-MISMATCH" alarm on page 2-59.) West port fibers must connect to east port fibers and east port fibers must connect to west port fibers. The "Install Hardware" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide provides procedures for fibering BLSRs.
Step 5
If the alarm does not clear, 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 ONS 15327 Node Visibility for Other Nodes" procedure.
Step 7
If nodes are not visible, complete the "Verify or Create Node SDCC Terminations" procedure to ensure that Section data communications channel (SDCC) terminations exist on each node.
Step 8
If the alarm does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.10 APSC-IMP
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
An Improper SONET 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 network element [NE]).
•
ET code in K2 bits 6 through 8 received on the incoming span, but not sourced from the outgoing span.
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 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
If the K byte is invalid, the problem lies with upstream equipment and not with the reporting ONS 15327. Troubleshoot the upstream equipment using the procedures in this chapter, as applicable. If the upstream nodes are not ONS 15327s, 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 ONS 15327 BLSR 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 ONS 15327 BLSR Ring Name" procedure.
Step 5
If the alarm does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.11 APSCINCON
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
An APS Inconsistent alarm means that an inconsistent APS byte is present. The SONET overhead contains K1/K2 APS bytes that notify receiving equipment, such as the ONS 15327, to switch the SONET 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
Step 1
Look for other alarms, especially the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99, the "LOF (OCN)" alarm on page 2-93, or the "AIS" condition on page 2-18. Clearing these alarms clears the APSCINCON alarm.
Step 2
If an APSINCON alarm occurs with no other alarms, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
2.7.12 APSCM
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: OCN
The APS Channel Mismatch alarm occurs when the ONS 15327 expects a working channel but receives a protect channel. In many cases, the working and protect channels are crossed and the protect channel is active. If the fibers are crossed and the working line is active, the alarm does not occur. The APSCM alarm occurs only on the ONS 15327 when bidirectional protection is used on OC-N cards in a 1+1 protection group configuration.
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 working-card channel fibers.
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
Step 2
If the fibers are correctly connected, verify that the protection-card channel fibers are physically connected directly to the adjoining node 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 call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.7.13 APSCNMIS
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: OCN
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. The APSCNMIS alarm could occur and clear when a BLSR is being provisioned. If so, you can disregard the temporary occurrence. If the APSCNMIS remains, 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 ONS 15327 BLSR Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure 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 ONS 15327 BLSR 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 > BLSR tabs. The BLSR 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 a BLSR Protect Span" procedure to lock out the span.
Step 6
Complete the "Clear a BLSR 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 call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.7.14 APSIMP
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
The APS Invalid Code alarm 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 path protection or BLSR 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 alarm is superseded by an APSCM or APSMM alarm, but not by an AIS condition. It clears when the port receives a valid code for 10 ms.
Clear the APSIMP Alarm
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 15327 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 SONET.
Step 4
If the alarm does not clear, log into the Cisco Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447).
2.7.15 APS-INV-PRIM
The APS-INV-PRIM alarm is not used in this platform in this release. It is reserved for development.
2.7.16 APSMM
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OCN
An APS Mode Mismatch failure alarm occurs on OC-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.
If one end is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching and the other is provisioned for path protection switching, an APSMM alarm occurs in the ONS 15327 that is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching.
Clear the APSMM Alarm
Step 1
For the reporting ONS 15327, 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 OC-N cards.
The chosen protection group is the protection group optically connected (with data communications channel [DCC] connectivity) to the far end.
c.

2.7.26 AUTOSW-AIS
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: STSMON, VT-MON
The Automatic UPSR Switch Caused by an AIS condition indicates that automatic path protection switching occurred because of an AIS condition. If the path protection is configured for revertive switching, it reverts to the working path after the fault clears. The AIS also clears when the upstream trouble is cleared.
Note
This condition is only reported if the path protection is set up for revertive switching.
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 the node sees 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 AUTOSW-AIS 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).

The CARLOSS alarm for E100T is not used in this platform in this release. It is reserved for development.
2.7.38 CARLOSS (EQPT)
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: EQPT
A Carrier Loss on the LAN Equipment alarm generally occurs on optical cards when the ONS 15327 and the workstation hosting CTC do not have a TCP/IP connection. The problem involves the LAN or data circuit used by the RJ-45 (LAN) connector on the XTC card. The CARLOSS alarm does not involve an Ethernet circuit connected to an Ethernet port. The problem is in the connection and not CTC or the node.
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
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
Clear the CARLOSS (EQPT) Alarm
Step 1
If the reporting card is an OC-N card, verify connectivity by pinging the ONS 15327 that is reporting the alarm by completing the procedure in the "1.6.8 Verify PC Connection to the ONS 15327 (Ping)" section on page 1-53.
Step 2
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 3
Using optical test equipment, verify that proper receive levels are achieved. (For instructions to use optical test equipment, refer to the manufacturer documentation.)
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
Step 4
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 Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
Step 5
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 OC-N card. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
Step 6
If you are unable to establish connectivity, replace the fiber cable with a new known-good cable. To do this, refer to the "Install Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide for procedures.
Step 7
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 8

2.7.39 CARLOSS (G1000)
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: G1000
A Carrier Loss alarm on the LAN G-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal.
CARLOSS on the G-Series card is 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), it causes the reporting card 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, other alarms such as the "TPTFAIL (G1000)" alarm on page 2-144 or OC-N alarms or conditions on the end-to-end path normally accompany the CARLOSS (G1000-2) alarm.
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. This manual includes a description of the G-Series card's end-to-end Ethernet link integrity capability. Also see the "TRMT" alarm on page 2-145 for more information about alarms that occur when a point-to-point circuit exists between two cards.
Ethernet card ports must be enabled for CARLOSS to occur. CARLOSS is declared after no signal is received for approximately 2.5 seconds.
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 Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the between the top high-speed and XTC slots 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 OC-N card.
Step 3
If no misconnection to the OC-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. The correct specifications are listed in the "1.9.2.3 Optical Card Transmit and Receive Levels" section on page 1-78.
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 Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
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 2-144 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 reason for the condition could be 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 service state is listed as OOS-MA,MT, a loopback is provisioned. Go to Step 11.
Step 11
If a loopback was provisioned, complete the "Clear a G1000 Card Loopback" procedure.
On the G-Series card, 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 loopbacked G-Series port detects the termination.
If the G1000-2 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 STS 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 15327 Ethernet manual cross-connect is used when another vendor's equipment sits between ONS nodes, and the Open System Interconnection/Target Identifier Address Resolution Protocol (OSI/TARP)-based equipment does not allow tunneling of the ONS 15327 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent a lack of continuous DCC, the Ethernet circuit is manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS network.
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.
Examine the layout of your network and determine which ONS 15327 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 OC-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 VT Tunnels" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide for detailed procedures to create circuits.
g.
If a valid Ethernet signal is present, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) a Card" procedure.
Step 13
If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.
Note
When you replace a card with the identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database.
Step 14
If the alarm does not clear, log into the Cisco 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.

2.7.45 CONTBUS-DISABLED
Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: EQPT
The CONTBUS-DISABLED alarm is a function of the 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 XTC 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" alarm on page 2-83 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 Card" procedure. (For general information about card installation, refer to the "Install Hardware" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.)
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) to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.7.46 CONTBUS-IO-A
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
An XTC card A to Shelf A Slot Communication Failure alarm occurs when the active Slot 5 XTC card (XTC card 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 15327 switches to the protect XTC card. In the case of a XTC card protection switch, the alarm clears after the other cards establish communication with the newly active XTC card. If the alarm persists, the problem lies with the physical path of communication from the XTC card to the reporting card. The physical path of communication includes the XTC card and the other card.
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 2-108 for the reporting card.
Step 2
If the alarm object is any single card slot other than the standby Slot 6 XTC 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 ONS 15327 Traffic Card LED Activity During Reset" section.
Step 3
If the alarm object is the standby Slot 6 XTC card, complete the "Reset a Traffic Card in CTC" procedure for it. The process is similar for the standby XTC card.
Note
Resetting the standby XTC card card does not activate it.
Wait ten minutes to verify that the card you reset completely reboots and becomes the standby card. (A reset standby card remains standby.)
If CONTBUS-IO-A is raised on several cards at the same time, complete the "Reset an Active XTC 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 4

The SONET DCC Termination Failure alarm occurs when the ONS 15327 loses its DCC. Although this alarm is primarily SONET, it can apply to dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) in other platforms.
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 15327 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.
Clear the EOC Alarm
Step 1
If the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99 is also reported, complete the "Clear the LOS (OCN) Alarm" procedure.
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
Step 2
If the "SF-L" condition on page 2-128 is reported, complete the "Clear the SF-L Condition" procedure.
Step 3
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. If they are not correct, correct them. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
Step 4
If the physical connections are correct and configured to carry DCC traffic, ensure that the ports at both ends of the fiber span are in the In Service and Normal (IS-NR) service state. Ensure that the ACT/SBY LED on each OC-N card is green.
Step 5
When the LEDs on the OC-N cards are correctly illuminated, complete the "Verify or Create Node SDCC Terminations" procedure to ensure that the DCC is provisioned for the ports at both ends of the fiber span.
Step 6
Repeat Step 4 at the adjacent nodes.
Step 7
If DCC is provisioned for the ends of the span, ensure that the port is active and in service by completing the following steps:
a.
Confirm that the OC-N 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, double-click the card in CTC to display the card view.
c.
Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
d.
Verify that the Admin State column lists the port as IS.
e.
If the Admin State column lists the port as OOS,MT or OOS,DSBLD, click the column and click IS from the drop-down list. Click Apply.
Note
If ports managed into IS administrative state are not receiving signals, the LOS alarm is either raised or remains, and the port service state transitions to OOS-AU,FLT.
Step 8
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 9
If no signal failures exist on terminations, measure power levels to verify that the budget loss is within the parameters of the receiver. See the Table 1-5 on page 1-78 for optical transmit and receive levels.
Step 10
If budget loss is within parameters, ensure that fiber connectors are securely fastened and properly terminated. For more information refer to the "Install Hardware" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
Step 11
If fiber connectors are properly fastened and terminated, complete the "Reset an Active XTC 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 XTC card switches control to the standby XTC card. If the alarm clears when the ONS 15327 node switches to the standby XTC card, the user can assume that the previously active card is the cause of the alarm.
Step 12
If the XTC card reset does not clear the alarm, delete the problematic SDCC termination by completing the following steps:
a.
From card view, click View > Go to Previous View if you have not already done so.
b.
Click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > SDCC tabs.
c.

2.7.70 E-W-MISMATCH
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: OCN
A Procedural Error Misconnect East/West Direction alarm occurs during BLSR setup, or when nodes in a ring have slots misconnected. An east slot can be misconnected to another east slot, or a west slot can be misconnected to another west slot. In most cases, the user did not connect the fibers correctly or the ring provisioning plan was flawed. You can physically reconnect the cable to the correct slots to clear the E-W-MISMATCH alarm. Alternately, you can delete and recreate the span in CTC to change the west line and east line designations. The CTC method clears the alarm, but could change the traditional east-west node connection pattern of the ring.
Note
The E-W-MISMATCH alarm also appears during the initial set up of a ring with its east-west slots configured correctly. If the alarm appears during the initial setup, the alarm clears itself shortly after the ring setup is complete.
Note
The lower-numbered slot at a node is traditionally labeled the west slot and the higher numbered slot is labeled the east slot. For example, in the ONS 15327 system, Slot 1 is west and Slot 4 is east.
Note
The physical switch procedure is the recommend method of clearing the E-W-MISMATCH alarm. The physical switch method reestablishes the logical pattern of connection in the ring. However, you can also use CTC to recreate the span and identify the misconnected slots as east and west. The CTC method is useful when the misconnected node is not geographically near the troubleshooter.
Clear the E-W-MISMATCH Alarm with a Physical Switch
Step 1
Diagram the ring setup, including nodes and spans, on a piece of paper or white board.
Step 2
In node view, click View > Go to Network View.

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).
2.7.74 EXTRA-TRAF-PREEMPT
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: OCN
An Extra Traffic Preempted alarm occurs on OC-N cards in two-fiber BLSRs because low-priority traffic directed to the protect system has been preempted by a working system protection switch.
Clear the EXTRA-TRAF-PREEMPT Alarm
Step 1
Verify that the protection switch has occurred by checking the Conditions tab.
Step 2
If a ring switch has occurred, clear the ring switch on the working system by following the appropriate alarm in this chapter. For more information about protection switches, refer to the "Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing" section.
Step 3
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) to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.7.75 FAILTOSW
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: EQPT, OCN
The Failure to Switch to Protection Facility condition occurs when a working or protect electrical facility switches to its companion port by using a MANUAL command. For example, if you attempt to manually switch traffic from an unused protect port to an in-service working port, the switch will fail (because traffic is already present on the working port) and you will see the FAILTOSW condition.
Clear the FAILTOSW Condition
Step 1
Look up and troubleshoot the higher-priority alarm. Clearing the higher-priority condition frees the card and clears the FAILTOSW.
Step 2
If the condition does not clear, replace the working electrical card that is reporting the higher priority alarm by following the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure. This card is the working electrical card using the protect card and not reporting FAILTOSW.
Replacing the working electrical card that is reporting the higher-priority alarm allows traffic to revert to the working slot and the card reporting the FAILTOSW to switch to the protect card.
Note
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 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).
2.7.76 FAILTOSW-PATH
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: STSMON, VT-MON
The Fail to Switch to Protection Path condition occurs when the working circuit does not switch to the protection circuit on a path protection. Common causes of the FAILTOSW-PATH alarm include a missing or defective protect port, a lockout set on one of the path protection nodes, or path-level alarms that would cause a path protection switch to fail including the "AIS-P" condition on page 2-19, the "LOP-P" alarm on page 2-95, the "SD-P" condition on page 2-126, the "SF-P" condition on page 2-128, and the "UNEQ-P" alarm on page 2-147.
The "LOF (OCN)" alarm on page 2-93, the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99, the "SD-P" condition on page 2-126, or the "SF-L" condition on page 2-128 can also occur on the failed path.
Clear the FAILTOSW-PATH Alarm in a Path Protection Configuration
Step 1
Look up and clear the higher priority alarm. Clearing this condition frees the standby card and clears the FAILTOSW-PATH condition. If the "AIS-P" condition on page 2-19, the "LOP-P" alarm on page 2-95, the "UNEQ-P" alarm on page 2-147, the "SF-P" condition on page 2-128, the "SD-P" condition on page 2-126, the "LOF (OCN)" alarm on page 2-93, the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99, the "SD-P" condition on page 2-126, or the "SF-L" condition on page 2-128 are also occurring on the reporting port, complete the applicable alarm clearing procedure.
Step 2
If the alarm does not clear, replace the active OC-N card that is reporting the higher priority alarm. Complete the "Physically Replace a Card" procedure. Replacing the active OC-N card that is reporting the higher priority alarm allows traffic to revert to the active slot. Reverting frees the standby card, which can then take over traffic from the card reporting the lower priority alarm and the FAILTOSW-PATH condition.
Caution 
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots of the shelf assembly.
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

2.7.80 FE-AIS
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: DS3
The Far-End AIS condition occurs when an AIS has occurred at the far-end node. FE-AIS usually occurs in conjunction with a downstream LOS alarm (see the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-99).
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 the node sees 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 FE-AIS Condition
Step 1
Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.
