The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
This chapter gives a description, severity, and troubleshooting procedure for each commonly encountered Cisco DWDM alarm and condition. Tables Table 1 through Table 1 provide lists of DWDM alarms organized by severity. Table 1 provides a list of alarms organized alphabetically. Table 1 gives definitions of all DWDM alarm logical objects, which are the basis of the alarm profile list in Table 1. For a comprehensive list of all conditions and instructions for using TL1 commands, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command GuideAn alarm 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/cisco/web/support/index.html or call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (1 800 553-2447) to report the problem.
Alarms can occur even in those cards that are not explicitly mentioned in the Alarm sections. When an alarm is raised, refer to its clearing procedure.
For more information about alarm profiles, see the Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management document.
![]() Note |
Unless otherwise noted, ONS 15454 refers to the ANSI and ETSI versions of the platform. |
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. |

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 1.
![]() 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. |
Table 1 lists all logical alarm objects used in this chapter.

Lists all the 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. |

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 noted, ONS 15454 refers to the ANSI and ETSI versions of the platform. |
![]() Note |
For a description of CTC-view terminology, refer to the CTC Enhancements, Operations, and Shortcuts. |
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.)
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 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. |
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:
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 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management document.
Service-Affecting (SA) alarmsthose that interrupt servicecould 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.
The Alarms or History tab State (ST) column indicate the disposition of the alarm or condition as follows:
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 |
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 |
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 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management document. |
![]() 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 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management document. |
![]() 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. |
Default Severity: Critical (CR) Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
Step 1 | To clear the ACT-SOFT-VERIF-FAIL alarm, download the Cisco ONS Release software (Release 9.2 or later, as applicable) on the protect (standby) flash. |
Step 2 | Activate the protect (standby) flash. |
Step 3 |
After the TNC/TSC card is actived, download the Cisco ONS Release software (Release 9.2 or later, as applicable) on the standby partition or the standby code volume on the protect flash. If the troubleshooting procedure does not clear the alarm, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html or call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (1 800 553-2447) to report the problem. |
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: BITS, FUDC, MSUDC
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 resolve the problem on the upstream node.
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. If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
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 DWDM 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. |
If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: 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.
If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |

The Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) condition on the amplifier cards, 40-SMR1-C, or 40-SMR2-C cards indicate that the ALS safety feature on the card port is switched ON. This condition is accompanied by a corresponding LOS alarm in the reverse direction of the same port.
![]() Note |
ALS is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting. |
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
The Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) condition occurs when a DWDM Optical Preamplifier or Optical Booster (OPT-BST) Amplifier card ALS is changed to Disabled from any other state (such as Enabled) by user command.
Step 1 | In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the OPT-BST, or OPT-PRE, OPT-AMP-C, or OMP-AMP-17-C 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. If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
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.
![]() Note |
For basic information about amplifier cards and to change their settings, refer to the Optical Amplifier Cards chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guide. |
Step 1 | Complete the Delete a Circuit procedure on the most recently created circuit. |
Step 2 |

If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
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.
For more information about APC, refer to the Network Reference chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guide, and the System Restart after a Fiber Cut.
The APC Correction Skipped alarm strongly limits network management (for example, a new circuit cannot be turned into IS). The Force APC Correction button helps to restore normal conditions by clearing the APC Correction Skipped alarm. For more information about the Force APC Correction button, refer to the Managing APC section in Network Reference chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guide
Default Severity:Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: NE, SHELF, AOTS, OTS, OMS, OCH, EQPT
The APC Disabled alarm 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 EQPT alarm, the IMPROPRMVL alarm, or the MEA (EQPT) alarm. If the condition occurs with the creation of the first circuit, delete and recreate the circuit. (See the Create Optical Channel Circuits and Provisionable Patchcords chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guidefor information about this.) For more information about APC, refer to the Network Reference chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guide.

The APC-OUT-OF-RANGE condition is raised on amplifier cards OPT-PRE, OPT-BST-L, OPT-PRE, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-AMP-L, and OPT-BST-E); demultiplexer cards (32-DMX, 40-DMX-C, and 32-DMX-L) 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 maximum setpoint) or to set the attenuation on the express VOA lower than 0 dBm (its minimum setpoint).
![]() Note |
A common cause of an amplifier trying to attain a value higher than the maximum setpoint or an attenuator trying to attain a value lower than the minimum setpoint is the low input power. |

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. |
The condition can be cleared by recovering the power at the input port:
Step 1 | Check the incoming fiber connection and clean them. |

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 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 15454. These invalid codes cause an APSB alarm on an ONS 15454.
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 15454. |
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.

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

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. APSMM can also occur if third-party equipment is provisioned as 1:N and the ONS 15454 is provisioned as 1+1.
If one end is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching and the other is provisioned for path protection protection switching, an APSMM alarm occurs in the ONS 15454 that is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching.
Step 1 |
For the reporting ONS 15454, display node view and verify the protection scheme provisioning:
|
Step 2 | Click OK in the Edit Protection Group dialog box. |
Step 3 | Log into the far-end node and verify that the OC-N 1+1 protection group is provisioned. |

The Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance Command condition applies to MXP or TXP cards and occurs when a client or trunk port is placed in the Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT) service state for loopback testing operations.
While provisioning traffic between two MXP-MR-10DME, MXP-MR-2.5G, or MXPP-MR-2.5G cards, putting the trunk port (09) of the card OOS-MT (initially IS) results in the AS-MT alarm being reported on both trunk and client port. This is because all the GFP interfaces derive their state from the trunk state if the trunk is not IS-NR. If the Trunk port state is IS-NR, then all the GFP interfaces derive their state from the corresponding client port. When the trunk is moved to AS-MT, which is not IS, the GFP of the client port also moves to the AS-MT state. The FAC of the client does not change state.

An AU AIS condition applies to the administration unit, which consists of the virtual container (VC) capacity and pointer bytes (H1, H2, and H3) in the SDH frame.
Generally, any AIS is a special SDH signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.

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 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 (thus avoiding node communication failure).
![]() Caution |
CONTBUS-DISABLED clears only when the faulty card is removed for one minute. If any card at all is reinserted before the one-minute guard period expires, the alarm does not clear. |
CONTBUS-DISABLED overrides the IMPROPRMVL alarm during the one-minute wait period, but afterward IMPROPRMVL can be raised because it is no longer suppressed. IMPROPRMVL is raised after CONTBUS-DISABLED clears if the card is in the node database. If CONTBUS-DISABLED has cleared but IMPROPRMVL is still active, inserting a card will clear the IMPROPRMVL alarm.

A TCCA to Shelf A Slot Communication Failure alarm occurs when the active Slot 7 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 (TCC A) has lost communication with another card in the shelf. The other card is identified by the Object column in the CTC alarm window.
The CONTBUS-IO-A alarm can appear briefly when the ONS 15454 switches to the protect TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3. In the case of a TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 protection switch, the alarm clears after the other cards establish communication with the newly active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3. If the alarm persists, the problem lies with the physical path of communication from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 to the reporting card. The physical path of communication includes the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3, the other card, and the backplane.
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 for the reporting card. |

A TCC B to Shelf Communication Failure alarm occurs when the active Slot 11 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 (TCC B) has lost communication with another card in the shelf. The other card is identified by the Object column in the CTC alarm window.
The CONTBUS-IO-B alarm could appear briefly when the ONS 15454 switches to the protect TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3. In the case of a TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 protection switch, the alarm clears after the other cards establish communication with the newly active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3. If the alarm persists, the problem lies with the physical path of communication from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 to the reporting card. The physical path of communication includes the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3, the other card, and the backplane.
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 for the reporting card. |
||
Step 2 | If the alarm object is any single card slot other than the standby Slot 7 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3, perform a CTC reset of the object card. Complete the Reset a Card in CTC procedure. For the LED behavior, see the Typical Traffic Card LED Activity During Reset section. | ||
Step 3 |
If the alarm object is the standby Slot 7 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3, complete the Reset a Card in CTC procedure for it. The procedure is similar. Wait ten minutes to verify that the card you reset completely reboots and becomes the standby card. (A reset standby card remains standby.) |
||
Step 4 |
If CONTBUS-IO-B is raised on several cards at once, complete the Reset an Active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 Card and Activate the Standby Card procedure. Wait ten minutes to verify that the card you reset completely reboots and becomes the standby card. |
||
Step 5 | Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card. | ||

Step 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.
If the alarm does not get cleared, you need to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

The Equipment High Transmit Power alarm is an indicator on the TXP_MR_E, TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_2.5G_10G, OC192-XFP, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card transmitted optical signal power. HI-TXPOWER occurs when the measured optical power of the transmitted signal exceeds the threshold.

For general information about MXP and TXP cards and provisioning them, refer to the Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Configuration Guide. |
Step 1 |
Check the PM of the Trunk-Tx port. Verify that received power is above the optics threshold:
|
||
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
|
||
Step 3 |
Complete the Physically Replace a Card procedure. If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
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.
Step 1 | Clear additional alarms that relate to timing, such as: |
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 Configuration Guide. If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: VMMON-HP, VCTRM-HP
An HP-DEG condition is similar to the SD (TRUNK) condition, but it applies to the HP layer of the SDH overhead. A HP-DEG alarm travels on the B3 byte of the SDH overhead.
For path protection protected circuits, the BER threshold is user-provisionable and has a range for HP-DEG from 1E–9 dBm to 1E–5 dBm. For MS-SPRing 1+1 and unprotected circuits, the BER threshold value is not user-provisionable and the error rate is hard-coded to 1E–6 dBm.
On path protection configurations, an HP-DEG condition causes a switch from the working card to the protect card at the path level. On MS-SPRing, 1+1, and on unprotected circuits, an HP-DEG condition does not cause switching.
The BER increase that causes the condition is sometimes caused by a physical fiber problem such as a poor fiber connection, a bend in the fiber that exceeds the permitted bend radius, or a bad fiber splice.
HP-DEG clears when the BER level falls to one-tenth of the threshold level that triggered the alarm.
If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447). |
Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)

The High-Order Path Encapsulation C2 Byte Mismatch alarm applies to ML-Series Ethernet cards. It occurs when the first three following conditions are met and one of the last two is false:
(This is in contrast to LP-PLM, which must meet all five criteria.) For an HP-ENCAP-MISMATCH to be raised, there is a mismatch between the received and expected C2 byte, with either the expected byte or received byte value being 0x01.
An example situation that would raise an HP-ENCAP-MISMATCH alarm is if a circuit created between two ML-Series cards has GFP framing provisioned on one end and high-level data link control (HDLC) framing with LEX encapsulation provisioned on the other. The GFP framing card transmits and expects a C2 byte of 0x1B, while the HDLC framing card transmits and expects a C2 byte of 0x01.
A mismatch between the transmit and receive cards on any of the following parameters can cause the alarm:
This alarm is demoted by a path label mismatch (PLM) such as LP-PLM.
![]() Note |
By default, an HP-ENCAP-MISMATCH alarm causes an ML-Series card data link to go down. This behavior can be modified using the command-line interface (CLI) command no pos trigger defect encap. |
