About This Chapter

Alarm handling is essential for the maintenance of the OptiX OSN 9500. An effective analysis of alarms is the key to clear them. Therefore, you need to locate the causes of the alarms first and then clear them.

Based on the generation and handling methods, the alarms are classified into equipment alarm, communication alarm, QoS alarm, processing alarm, environment alarm and security alarm.

This chapter describes the causes and handling methods of common alarms.

The alarm level is the default one.

Minor Equipment alarm

Parameters When you view an alarm on the T2000, select the alarm. In the Alarm Details field display the related parameters of the alarm. The alarm parameters are in the following format: Alarm Parameters (hex): parameter1 parameter2...parameterN, for example, Alarm Parameters (hex): 0x01 0x08. For details about each parameter, refer to the following table.

Name Meaning

Parameter 1 Indicates the optical interface number.

Impact on System For the optical interface that reports the ALM_ALS alarm, the laser in the transmit direction is shut down, and the services in this direction fail.

Possible Causes When the ALS function is enabled, an R_LOS alarm occurs in the receive direction of the optical interface.

Handling Procedure Step 1 Confirm the relevant optical interface according to the alarm parameters.

Step 2 Confirm whether the ALS function should be enabled for the optical interface. If the ALS function need not be enabled for the optical interface, manually disable the ALS function. In this case, the laser in the transmit direction of the optical interface is automatically turned on, and the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.

The MSP configuration parameters are incorrect. The MSP configuration is lost.

Handling Procedure Step 1 Make sure that the networkwide MSP configuration is correct. For a ring MSP, check the

fiber connections in the east and west directions. For a linear MSP, check the working and protection fiber connections, or check the MSP switching modes at the two ends. After modifying the incorrect configuration, check whether the alarm is cleared.

Step 2 Make sure that the networkwide APS protocol works properly. Stop the protocol, and then restart it to check whether the alarm is cleared.

OptiX OSN 9500 Alarms and Performance Events Reference 3 Alarm Clearing

Issue 01 (2007-12-31) Huawei Technologies Proprietary 3-5

Impact on System The APS_INDI alarm indicates the occurrence of a fiber cut or a terminal node failure,

which triggers the MSP switching. For a two-fiber ring MSP or a linear MSP, if a fiber cut or another fault occurs after the

occurrence of this alarm, the services are interrupted.

Possible Causes The possible causes of the APS_INDI alarm are as follows:

An external command, including manual switching, forced switching, and exercise switching, is issued.

After the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC, or B2_SD alarm occurs, the MSP group changes to the switching state.

The service board is faulty. The cross-connect board is faulty.

Handling Procedure Step 1 On the T2000, view Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 of this alarm to confirm the type and ID of

the protection group in which this alarm is generated.

Step 2 Check whether the MSP is in a state of manual switching, forced switching, or lockout of switching. If the MSP is in a switching state, clear the switching and then observe whether the alarm is cleared.

Step 3 To check whether the MSP is in the automatic switching state, do as follows:

Handle the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC or B2_SD alarm reported by the equipment. When these alarms are cleared, wait for the MSP switching to be automatically restored to the normal state, and then check whether the APS_INDI alarm is cleared.

Make sure that the service board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant service board and then check whether the alarm is cleared.

Make sure that the cross-connect board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant cross-connect board and then check whether the alarm is cleared.

----End

Related Information For the 1+1 single-ended non-revertive linear MSP, the APS_INDI alarm is generated when the protection switching occurs. When the optical path returns to normal, the service is not automatically switched back to the working path, and the APS_INDI alarm persists. In this case, manually switch the service from the protection path to the working path. After successful manual switching, the APS_INDI alarm is cleared.

Indicates the AU-4 path number. Parameter 2 is the higher byte, and Parameter 3 is the lower byte. For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 = 0x01. In this case, the AU_AIS alarm is reported from AU-4 path 1 of optical interface 1 on the board.

Impact on System When the AU_AIS alarm occurs, the path-level services are interrupted if the network is

not protected. In this case, the AU-AIS alarm occurs at the downstream station.

Possible Causes The possible causes of the AU_AIS alarm are as follows:

A higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or B2_EXC, occurs in the system.

The alarms shown in Table 3-1 occur at the upstream station. The AIS signal is transmitted at the opposite station. The transmit unit (such as cross-connect boards or line boards) at the opposite station is

faulty. The receive unit at the local station is faulty.

Handling Procedure Step 1 Check whether any higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or

B2_EXC, is detected on the T2000 at the local station. If yes, take priority to clear it, and then check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared.

Step 2 If the alarm persists, check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs at the upstream station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared.

Step 3 Perform optical interface inloop on the relevant line board at the opposite station.

Step 4 After the inloop operation, if the AU_AIS alarm occurs at the opposite station, the AU_AIS alarm at the local station comes from the opposite station.

Repeat step 3 to locate the upstream station that first generates and transmits the AU-AIS alarm. Check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs on the service source board of the local station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU-AIS alarm is cleared at the local station.

If the alarm persists, replace the transmit board at the station that first generates the AU_AIS alarm.

Step 5 After the inloop operation, if the AU-AIS alarm does not occurs at the opposite station, the receive board at the local station is faulty. In this case, replace the receive board at the local station.

Impact on System If the configured services are concatenation services and the actually transmitted services

are non-concatenation services, performance of paths except path 1 cannot be monitored. The services, however, are not affected.

If the configured services are non-concatenation services and the actually transmitted services are concatenation services, the services are interrupted.

Possible Causes The type of services transmitted from the opposite station is incorrect. The type of services configured at the local station is incorrect. Fibers are incorrectly connected.

Handling Procedure Step 1 According to the alarm parameters, confirm the optical interface that reports the AU_CMM

alarm and the corresponding AU-4 path.

Step 2 Check whether the service type configured in the AU-4 path is consistent with the planned service type. If not, reconfigure the services at the local station.

Step 3 Modify the type of services transmitted from the upstream, and then check whether the AU_CMM alarm is cleared.

Step 4 If the alarm persists, check whether the corresponding fibers are incorrectly connected.

Parameter 1 Indicates the actual optical interface number of the alarm board.

Impact on System When the R_OOF alarm occurs, the services are interrupted, and the AIS signal is

inserted at the downstream station. When the R_OOF occurs, the system automatically returns the MS_RDI alarm to the

upstream station. Consequently, the upstream station generates the MS_RDI alarm.

Possible Causes The received signals are heavily attenuated. Excessive bit errors occur during transmission. The transmit unit at the opposite station is faulty. The receive unit at the local station is faulty.

Step 2 If the received optical power is extremely low:

1. Clean the fiber connector at the local station and the receive optical interface on the line board, and then check whether the alarm is cleared.

2. Check whether the flange is correctly connected to the optical attenuator at the local station, and whether the attenuation value specified in the optical attenuator is proper. After making sure that the flange and optical attenuator are used properly, check whether the alarm is cleared.

Step 3 If the received optical power is extremely high, provide more optical attenuators to adjust the received optical power to a proper value, and then check whether the R_OOF alarm is cleared.

Step 4 If the alarm persists, check whether the launched optical power at the opposite station is within the specified value range. If not, handle the alarm according to the method of handling the OUT_PWR_ABN alarm.

Step 5 If the alarm persists, excessive bit errors may occur during transmission. In this case, check whether the fiber is faulty. After removing the faulty fiber, then check whether the R_OOF alarm is cleared.

Impact on System Every service board of the OptiX OSN 9500 can select its own cross-connect board, clock board, and SCC board. When the SLAVE_BAD alarm occurs, therefore, the active/standby protection of the cross-connect board, clock board, or SCC board is lost.

If the alarmed board also reports the MASTER_ERR alarm, and the slot number parameters of the MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are the same, the services on the alarmed board are interrupted.

If the alarmed board does not report the MASTER_ERR alarm, or if the alarmed board does report the MASTER_ERR alarm at the same time but the slot number parameters of the MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are different, the services are not affected. In this case, the alarmed board only loses the active/standby protection options of the cross-connect boards, clock boards, or SCC boards.

Possible Causes Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the standby

cross-connect board. The standby clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock

quality. The alarmed board detects a fault of the standby SCC board. The alarmed board detects a fault of its own hardware.

Handling Procedure Step 1 Locate the faulty board according to the alarm parameters.

Impact on System In case a line board reports the SLAVE_WORKING alarm and the working standby board is an SCC board according to the alarm parameters, the reconfiguration of services might cause bit errors in existing services and even interrupt the existing services.

In other cases, the SLAVE_WORKING alarm does not affect services.

Possible Causes Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the active

cross-connect board. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby cross-connect board.

The active clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock quality. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby clock board.

The alarmed board detects a fault of the active SCC board.
