Configuring and Viewing SONET Alarms
A major advantage of SONET is that it can generate alarm and error
messages when problems occur, such as when a signal fails or degrades.
A receiving interface is notified of network defects in the form of Alarm
Indication Signals (AIS); transmitting interfaces are notified of network
defects by the return of Remote Defect Indications (RDI).
You can also access this alarm information through the POS folder. For
further information refer to Chapter 10, “Packet Over SONET
Administration” on page 278.
Viewing Line Status
To view the alarms and defects currently reported on a POS interface, follow

module is installed.
2. Click the POS Alarms tab.
3. Click the Line Status tab.
